the shooter’s fore-grip fingers and thumb safely
below the flight deck while shooting. The wings
are bedded between the fore-grip and barrel.
If for any reason they are lost or damaged,
contact Horton for replacement immediately at
www.hortoncrossbows.com or 330-628-9245.

Safety wings are bedded between the
stock and barrel. They help prevent
thumb and finger injury and they
dampen noise.
