Couldnt they accomplish the same thing by a quad pully system to extend the power stroke. An old idea on verticals thats made a come back with a few designs.

That would be more trouble than it's worth and introduce more problems, jmo.
Just more components and fixtures to get in the way, create friction, and fail.
The Scorpyd's perceived limb width imperfection is way overblown; I don't have a problem hunting with mine in the least.
If someone wants a reverse draw bow with narrower limbs, there's always the Horton Vision.
If anyone has a problem with the width of the Scorpyd, simple fix, don't buy one !
As for myself, I will gladly take the performance and quality that goes with the wider limbed Scorpyd.

You have that right, a flat shooting bow is great for hunting. I always like to see if designs can be differant, just like the reverse technology. I do like the bow for sure.

a flat shooting bow is great for hunting.
Here we go again. In your esteemed opinion, when did the 'flat shooting' xbows come out? Got any dates? What speed is 'flat shooting'?

Thumbs up More information from Jim at Scorpyd.

Talked to Jim again.
He confirmed the new Scorpyd will have Barnsdale laminated limbs.
They're the finest limbs in the world with a psi rating over 200,000; most limbs are rated from 140,000 to 170,000 psi.
A ****ing sled and crank will also be available in 2010.
The crank is a much needed addition for those with injuries preventing them from ****ing the bow with a rope ****er !
