Scorpyd SLP 165

Pros:

Superb balance, not forend heavy at all, balance is between your hands where it belongs & is a aid to accuracy. This also makes bow feel & handle like it was lighter than it is.

Great accuracy, it's a tack driver even @ 80 yds.

Very low noise bow for it's draw weight & speed, in this Scorpyd is second to none.

Highest speed bow made in commercial numbers @ 425 fps with 22" 400 gr. arrows at a draw weight of only 165 lbs.

Cons:

A bit wide @ 28" overall, or 22.75" ATA (large cams), many others are narrower for overall width.

Trigger has more travel than I normally care for, but is predictable as it's consistent shot to shot, weight of trigger is 3 lbs.

Heavier than the average at bit over 9 lbs.

Bow requires top shelf arrows, which cost a bit more.

Cost, at $1400 there are much less expensive bows

I'm a good sized man, so the weight is no issue for me, though could well be for others. I love the accuracy & I like to shoot target practice out to 80 yds, though I'd not shoot that far on game. I shoot 250-400 shots per year, not as many as some, but enough that I really enjoy the moderate draw weight, & great accuracy & balance.

Scorpyd has discontinued the SLP bow, but the replacement the Velocity corrects the trigger creep issue as it is a light & almost no creep trigger, weight has also been reduced by about 1 lb., though quite a few others are still lighter than the Velocity's 8 lbs. This bow is equal to the SLP bows they replace in speed for draw weight.

Scorpyd also offers 2 other models, that I've not owned, though I've shot and liked the Ventilator. This is a brand of bows that any one looking into buying a crossbow should give a long look. You owe it to yourself to find a dealer who'll let you shoot one before buying a crossbow.

EDIT:

In revisiting this thread, I'm surprised I'm the only one who has a Scorpyd bow going well into the 4 page. So I felt I should have done a much better job of describing the bows strengths vs weaknesses.
