accessible full-size compound performance at 380+ fps
The Hori-Zone Sirius II is a complete full-size compound crossbow for shooters who want to experience compound crossbow performance without immediately stepping up to the heaviest, fastest or most technical models. With a 190 lbs draw weight, 15" power stroke and speeds of 380+ fps, the Sirius II already delivers plenty of performance for serious recreational crossbow shooting.
At approximately 3 kg, the Sirius II is also relatively lightweight for a full-size compound. This combination of strong performance, straightforward design, manageable weight and a complete package makes it an attractive all-round choice.
380+ fps: strong performance without chasing extremes
More speed is not automatically better. At 380+ fps, the Sirius II sits below the 400+ fps performance class while still providing a fast and relatively flat bolt trajectory.
With a 385-grain crossbow bolt, stated kinetic energy is approximately 118.61 ft-lbs. This gives the Sirius II serious performance without designing the entire crossbow around maximum speed.
For many recreational shooters, this provides an attractive balance between performance, usability and price.
Traditional and straightforward full-size configuration
The Sirius II uses a more traditional compound configuration than extremely narrow reverse-cam and compact 400+ fps designs. It measures approximately 17.75" / 45.1 cm axle-to-axle when uncocked and around 14.5" / 36.8 cm when cocked.
This means the Sirius II is not the narrowest compound crossbow in our range. In return, it offers a straightforward layout and familiar full-size compound handling.
Shooters who prioritise minimum width should consider a model such as the Hori-Zone Sirius III or a compact reverse-cam design. For those looking for an accessible and attractively priced full-size compound crossbow, the Sirius II offers a particularly well-balanced alternative.
Relatively lightweight and easy to handle
One of the Sirius II's strengths is its relatively low weight of approximately 3 kg. This makes it lighter and easier to handle than several heavier high-performance compound crossbows.
For recreational shooting, this is a meaningful practical advantage. A crossbow is not defined solely by bolt speed; how comfortably it can be held, aimed and operated is equally important.
Cocking with the supplied rope cocker
The Sirius II is supplied with a rope cocker. This reduces the effort required compared with cocking by hand and helps draw the string back more evenly.
At 190 lbs, however, this remains a powerful compound crossbow. Shooters who place maximum priority on low-effort cocking should consider a model equipped with a crank or integrated cocking mechanism.
Who is the Sirius II for?
Within our crossbow selection profiles, the Hori-Zone Sirius II is particularly well suited to Recreational & Relaxed and Precision & Distance. It also represents an accessible first step into more powerful full-size compound crossbows.
The Sirius II is especially suitable for shooters who:
Shooters looking primarily for maximum speed and minimum width should consider the Sirius III. Those wanting 400+ fps in a traditional full-size configuration with the option of adding a crank cocking system can consider the Orion II.
The strength of the Sirius II is therefore not one extreme specification, but its balance of performance, weight, accessibility and price.
