Thoughts of New CB's ?

Dnk's Scorpyd 125 made a big impression on me. Best described as looking thru scope w/ xbow on sand bags, centering xhairs on bull and then realizing the fletch was dead center already, lol.

Didn't realize it had fired, that smooth.

Hey friend awshucks, yup that Scorpyd is a fine act. Too bad its 2 months disability ck's. I have been oglin that Strykezone 350 thats less than one month ck. Appears they can be had fer under MSRP. Now i remember why i don't come here more often, less ppl here than at a funeral!

I'm not sure why but with two Excals in the closet I am beginning to think on trying a bow from a different manufacturer. I just KNOW that whatever happens along will not be anywhere as easy to maintain as an Excal and I will have to worry about bow presses and such.

It's just too confusing with all the new and different stuff on the market AND what seems like a trend to make them scary. I need more reviews and imput before I start dropping what's gonna be big money.

Fact is here in MA I bet I couldn't even find a dealer that had a Scorpyd that I could fondle. I'm guessing my local Bass pro shop has nothing that would even peak my interest.

Well, the Bowtech xbows are out for me. I'm not about to ship one to a dealer to get it serviced or warrantied. Used is out too, as their warranty is for OP only. :sad0064:

You're even further in the sticks than me, Mikey. :D

smokepolehall 02-07-2011 02:01 PM

Spect i would build myself a press, side Miss Vixen is my main squeeze. The Strykezone would only have light duty chores. Warranty thats why i have Miss Vixen as i wouldn't miss nary a day of hunting!

I'm not thinking about buying a new bow.

I got the Horton realtree ultralite, so far pretty impressed, can't wait to use it during a hunt, might take it on spring black bear hunt.

It has the best trigger on the market, flat out amazing. It has zero creep and a 4.3 lb trigger. How's those marbles?

smokepolehall 02-08-2011 06:53 AM

You have all the Marbles in yer bag! :busted: Like an expert toying with a noob.:hail: I knowed the the Koda & Scorpyd don't actually compare. They be just nice in their own right. I spect at some pt in the future i will get a compound style CB. I really liking the spec's on the Strykezone 350. Will watch it this yr, i knowed they can be had fer under $500. That should wake-up alot of these ******* buyers seeking speed & good warranty! :wave:

I was looking at that bow too. Is it made in North America? I won't buy a bow made in China.

smokepolehall 02-08-2011 09:20 AM

Yes its made in North Ameria & its faster model the 380. I knowed the 350 can be had fer about same price as parker's Enforcer. They will be way better than the B****** offering from jump street.

Just got a Parker from David at Wyvern's. Very impressed with the perfomance of the Buckbuster and the price and service was exceptional.

I was looking at the horton vision then I thought I had my mind made up on the Parker tornado THEN I saw the Koda! I was at there booth at the Eastern Outdoor show yesterday and man did I fall in love with it. I didn't get a chance to shoot it but from what i was hearing it is dead nuts accurate. Can anyone tell me more? Does it compare to the stryker or that TAC-15

Machine work is aerospace level. Fit and finish could not be better. It is low in shock and noise. It is not super fast but more than fast enough. I haven't shot it past 20 yard but at that range it drives tacks. The ability to adjust the stock makes for a very flexible bow. At just over a 13 inch draw this 8.3 bow is both easy to c0ck and steady to shoot. It has the best production trigger I've shot yet at 4.3 lbs but no creep. Cool factor is very high.
Comparing it to the Striker or the TAC is like apples and oranges because it is a recurve and not as fast as those speed bows. The 185 lb bow shoots over 300 ft/sec with a 350 gr arrow.
Oh, the best part? It's not made in China!
