Hori-Zone Accessories

If you're a fan of Walking Dead, you've certainly noticed that Daryl and his crossbow are inseparable. The crossbow, this weapon combining power and precision, has its origins several centuries ago. The very first crossbow models appeared in the 5th century BC in China. At the time, its design was derived from the bow itself. The difference is that it is placed horizontally on a stock and its mechanism allows the string to be constantly tense. This design eliminates the need to exert effort to hold the string, unlike the bow. The shooter thus has the opportunity to focus on the accuracy of their shots.

The evolution of the crossbow 

Over the centuries, the crossbow has seen its design evolve. Today, it has become a formidable weapon that hunters can no longer do without. Powerful, it now incorporates innovative technologies to ensure precise shooting, on both small and large game. There are also numerous variations. Apart from hunting crossbows, there are also crossbows for recreational shooting. As for accessories, they are increasingly numerous to ensure shooting power, precision, lightness, and comfort of use.

The different types of crossbow shooting events 

There are indeed different types of crossbow shooting events. First, there is match crossbow, a discipline practiced with a crossbow that is shouldered in the same way as a rifle. The principle is to use 4.5 mm diameter projectiles to shoot at targets located at a range of 10 meters. At this distance, shooting is done in a standing position. However, if the target is located at a range of about 30 m, shooting will be done in standing and kneeling positions. Note that the type of crossbow used must be loaded via a loading arm in the same way as a rifle. The weight of the weapon must not exceed 7 kg. 

After match crossbow, there is field crossbow, which is practiced with a classic crossbow, that is, a model that is manually loaded. The targets, for this discipline which is practiced indoors, are located at a range of 18 meters. But in the event that the competition takes place outdoors, the targets will be located at a range of 35 to 65 meters.

The shooter's equipment 

Just like accessories for bows, crossbow accessories are numerous and available in archery. You'll find a wide range of them on Hattila. Among the most essential, you'll find:

The bolts

Bolts are simply the projectiles used on crossbows. Without a bolt, your weapon will be nothing more than an object of deterrence. For simpler models, bolts are most often made of aluminum. However, the more sophisticated ones are made of fiberglass. If you are a beginner in the field of crossbow shooting, note that for each type of arrow, the point of impact will be different. 

If you wish to acquire arrows, whether for classic crossbows with curved limbs or for compound crossbows, visit Hattila. We have a wide range of arrows for all types of crossbows. 

The quiver 

The quiver is an accessory designed to store crossbow projectiles. Depending on the configurator, it can have a different design. And while the most classic ones are made of fabric, the high-end ones are made of leather. As for the capacity of quivers, this parameter will depend on the model. While some can hold eight bolts, others can hold more than 10 and are attached using a snap button. 

The crank

Manually cocking a crossbow requires strength. And as this gesture needs to be repeated several times, fatigue will quickly set in. To ensure your greatest comfort, there's nothing better than using a crank. By inserting it into the stock, behind the scope, you will be able to cock your crossbow more easily.
