I purchased a Horton Utra-Lite Express 8 years ago, this would likely be classified as an entry level bow. It was inexpensive and the fasteners did come loose causing a loss of accuracy. Since locktiting the fasteners the bow has held up very well. I did have the cables changed at year 5. The bow has been shot hundreds of times. I like getting it out when company is here and it seems everyone likes shooting it.
If I were to purchase another I would visit my local Cabelas and shoot everyone they had and then choose. For me, the trigger quality is a big deal and I don't want a heavy bow. I see no reason to dump a couple of grand into a bow. I've shot a buck every year with my "cheapie" bow and 3 of the 8 make B&Y.
I carry my target in the truck and shoot a field tip to decock it.
