Horton's Mark Beck Takes First Place with reCon™ 175
2008-06-16
We are pleased to announce two firsts:
- Our very own Mark Beck competed in his first crossbow competition taking first place at the 2nd Jewel of the I.B.O National Triple Crown held in McKean Pennsylvania on June 14th, 15th, and 16th.
- He won the competition with Horton’s new reCon™ 175.
Mark has been shooting compound bows on the National and World circuits for over six years. Beck said, “To achieve the best performance, I have always worked on my own equipment. This is not the case with the reCon 175. With the exception of the arrows, I shot the reCon right out of the box. I used Horton’s standard Carbon Strike MX arrows with a 100-grain point to slow the reCon down to meet I.B.O standards. While I’m a pretty decent shooter. The reCon’s performance was great, taking me to first place.”
This may have been beginners luck. We’ll see at the 3rd Jewel of the I.B.O. National Triple Crown to be held in Nelsonville Ohio July 11th, 12th, and 13th.
