Description (Brief)
Black Horton Scout HD 125 crossbow with black nylon shoulder strap and three arrows in holder attached to the front of the bow. Daryl Dixon, played by Norman Reedus, uses this crossbow throughout the series as his preferred weapon. It first appears in season one, episode three of the television series, The Walking Dead. Based on the comic books by Robert Kirkman, The Walking Dead deals with a post-apocalyptic society overrun with “walkers.” The show follows Rick Grimes, a sheriff who awakes from a coma to find only a handful of people alive and a lot of decaying undead who want to eat him. Played by Andrew Lincoln, Rick eventually finds his wife and son living with a group of survivors near Atlanta, Georgia. It is here the group must learn to survive in a fallen society, among the undead and roving bands of survivors who prove to be more dangerous than the famished walkers.
