Schupbachs Crossbows
Darton
With over 50 years of archery experience, it is not a surprise that Darton's line of fast shooting Crossbows would capture the imagination of the world's crossbow enthusiasts. At DARTON, we have successfully combined graceful aesthetics, incredible balance and rugged dependability with today's highest quality materials and workmanship to produce a true, high performance sporting arm.
DARTON crossbows are lightweight with superb balance, so shooting is a pleasure, not a task. We've also incorporated an easy-pulling trigger that is incredibly smooth with a rifle-type safety that is simple and comfortable to use for both right and left-handed shooters* and a dry-fire prevention mechanism**. Both of these features are patented.
Darton Crossbows are setting new benchmarks by which accuracy and speed are being defined. Once you test shoot a Darton Crossbow, you won't be satisfied with anything less!
Excalibur Crossbows
At Excalibur, we aren't big business cashing in on crossbow hunting, we're crossbow hunters who build crossbows. Our first priority is not to produce a lot of cheap bows with star wars styling, but to make the most efficient, reliable, and accurate hunting crossbow that money can buy. Our ideas don't come from engineers, they come from experience, and nothing leaves our drawing board without being subject to extensive testing by the toughest, most uncompromising product evaluators in the deer woods… US!
Maybe that's why Excalibur has won the US National Crossbow Championships for the last eight years, and the Canadian 3-D Championship crossbow class for the last six years! With Excalibur, accuracy is more than just a word, it's a guarantee! We guarantee that each and every bow we produce is capable of shooting groups of 3" or less at 25 yards using broadheads… Target arrows? Better shoot one per target or you'll be buying more!
How can we deliver this kind of performance? Simply by sticking to the basics! Our lightening fast recurve limbs turn out more speed than compound systems with a fraction of their weight, noise, or mechanical failures, our trigger mechanism has a pull that would make your rifle jealous, and our composite and aluminium stock is virtually indestructible. Tie these all together and you've got a crossbow that can weather all the abuse you can hand out, and still deliver the speed, accuracy and reliability that you need for a lifetime of service.
Ever since we began Excalibur in 1983, it's been our aim to help crossbow hunters to enjoy their sport by providing them the very finest in equipment and service. We would welcome the opportunity to introduce you to the exciting new dimensions that only Excalibur can bring to your hunting experience!
Horton
In medieval times, the crossbow was revered as an effective hunting tool, chosen for its awesome power, accuracy and relative ease of use. With the development of the firearm, the crossbow faded into history, as hunters became proficient at taking game at long distances.
Almost half a century ago, Bernard Horton, an accomplished gun maker and sportsman, recognized that crossbows did not meet the needs of serious modern big game hunters. However, he realized that the crossbow had the potential to become an effective close-range hunting tool by today's standards. Horton began experimenting with crossbow designs in his workshop, creating crossbows for his own personal use. The word quickly spread about his amazing new designs and it was then that the Horton legacy was born.
From the very first models, Horton's designs were rugged, compact and accurate. Horton's unique blend of advanced technology and raw power brought the crossbow out of the dark ages and into the forefront of modern big game hunting. Today, Horton Manufacturing is the world leader in high-performance hunting crossbows, still blending the latest technology with the needs of the modern hunter. Steeped in tradition and performance, Horton proudly makes the finest crossbows on the planet.
For serious hunters like Bernard Horton, hunting is more than taking an animal at 200 yards. It's about testing your skills as nature's number one predator. To get so close that you can almost hear your prey breathing; to know you have just one chance, one shot, one choice...that's the ultimate challenge.
Are you good enough?

Parker
Parker Compound Bows, Inc. is one of the largest producers of compound bows and crossbows in the world. Parker's rapid growth and success can be attributed to the highest quality, amazing performance and unmatched customer service. Parker's attention to detail results in a superior product that carries a Lifetime Warranty for the original owner.
The original company was founded in 1984 by Robert (Bob) Errett, who remains today as President of the Company. Bob is a West Virginia native who began his archery career in 1975 with Bear Archery Company in Grayling, Michigan. During this period, Bob Errett was both an employee and friend of the legendary Fred Bear. For 10 years that relationship included an annual week at Fred Bear's hunting camp in northern Michigan. It is obvious that Fred Bear was a huge influence on Bob Errett and Parker's attention to quality and customer satisfaction.
In 1984, Bob left Bear Archery with the intention of starting his own company. The new company was Nationwide Archery, the forerunner of Parker. Nationwide grew rapidly to become a major archery supplier and arrow manufacturer, serving hundreds of archery dealers over the next 17 years.
In 1996, the company's major attention was focused toward the manufacture of compound bows and by 2003 Nationwide Archery was merged into Parker. Today, over 1,200 retail outlets sell Parker Bows, with 25 salesmen covering the entire United States and Canada.
In 2002, recognizing the potential of crossbow seasons over the U.S. and Canada, Parker began developing a new line of crossbows. Parker's designs feature lighter weight, better balanced crossbows that include the technology of high performance compound bows. The resulting crossbows are revolutionary and have moved Parker near the top in crossbow sales. In 2008, Parker's new Cyclone set the standard for the future design of all crossbows.
Parker has been honored two years running as "The Fastest Growing Manufacturer in Virginia," by Virginia Business Magazine. As well, in two separate years Parker was honored by INC Magazine as the 300th and 231st fastest growing companies in America. Very few companies receive these honors twice.
In 2007, Parker continued to grow requiring an additional expansion --- the third expansion in 10 years. The company is closely managed and operated ensuring continued high quality, attention to detail, unsurpassed customer service --- all combined to create the finest hunting bows in the World.
