![]() I’m making the assumption that this was just an isolated incident and not the norm for these risers. This was an easy fix as I have taps on hand and I just tapped the hole further and voila, however this could have been an issue for someone who isn’t tooled up or has never used a tap before. One small bone to pick with Hoyt is that when I first got the riser and I screwed in my plunger, I found I could not screw it in far enough as the threads ran out just before reaching the other side of the riser. Hoyt also includes a Hoyt super rest, tools, spare fasteners, tuning instructions and a nice protective sleeve/pouch to store your riser. The riser comes with a clicker plate and two fastener holes to choose from when mounting a clicker. The riser comes with a clicker plate and two fastener positions for mounting a clicker. (Make sure to prep the surface with something like denatured alcohol before sticking on your rest) I’ve found that not be the case, my stick on rest has been on for six months and shows no signs of coming off. I read somewhere that the textured finish would be a problem with a stick on rest. I opted for Hoyt’s blackout finish, which is a textured finish and I’ve been very happy with it. Keep in mind that this riser has a single stabilizer fitting. I shoot the barebow classes and have a simple 8 oz counter weight but it could stand more. The bow balances better in hand with some weight. I have had some experience with other Olympic genre bows but not much, in Tony Camera’s review of this riser, he opines that the majority of Olympic / FITA type bows benefit from a stabilizer. The range of weight adjustability that can be had by loosening and tightening the limb bolts is 10 %. The limb fittings are simple and straightforward. I’m shooting long W & W Sebastian Flute Premium Wood Limbs for a 70 inch bow and am pleased with this combination. The Horizon is ILF (International Limb Fitting) compatible so you can use any ILF limbs on it. ![]() The stock grip is comfortable and interchangeable with any of Hoyt’s grips, to include wood if you so desire. I’ve found it easy to adjust and care for which appeals to my minimalist nature. You will absolutely get more bells and whistles out of more expensive risers however the Hoyt Horizon is straightforward, simple, handsome and has been trouble free. The Horizon riser is a good quality entry level riser. Enough, to feel comfortable with writing a review of it. I’ve owned my Hoyt Horizon 25 inch riser going on six months now, I’ve shot thousands of arrows through it in that time. ![]()
