New Scorpyd crossbow for 2010

[Sagittarius]

Here's a couple pics from Unk Bond at AT who was kind enough to take at the ATA show and send to me. Thanks, Unk !
It shows Jim Kempf with his newest creation.
The new bow shoots a 400gr arrow to 425fps and packs 50 more foot lbs of energy over the old model for a total of 160 ft lbs

Well certainly different from the main stream cross bow.

Looks like a good design.

Thanks for sharin Sag.

That's going to be one great spanking bow!

That sure is smokin' performance. I would be totally fine with the 125 for performance. Even the 100 would be fine with me if PA didn't require 125# of draw to be legal. For most crossbows, that makes sense. For Scorpyd? Not so much.

After shooting my new Frankenstein creation this morning, I am leaning toward putting any serious archery money into a crossbow instead of a new vert bow. I can't shoot any better with a new bow than with what I have.

I'm w/ you, JoePA. After owning an Emax, I think the 125's performance stats is all I'd need. Just can't get past the '*utt-ugly' aspect of the reverse draw stuff.

It seems it would not look as wide if the stand offs for the limbs to the stock were shorter or werent there.

Do you mean the riser???????

[Huntr2]

I didnt know it still classify as a riser being mounted in the position on the bow. I picture a riser as being at the front but you are right. The Horton narrow look is more compact looking.

The wider limbs mean it can have a longer stroke, yielding more energy.
