Re: the grass isn't always greener
What "No Shootin'" bow are y'all messin' with?
Re: the grass isn't always greener
I'm not shooting mine because I blew it up! I'm currently waiting for strings, cables and cams. It would have been more exciting but this is the 3rd bow I've blown up. The noise and excitement is highly over ratedflightattendant100 wrote:What "No Shootin'" bow are y'all messin' with?

Re: the grass isn't always greener
I'm with Jeff...sure the new toy is sleek and light but if it takes this much effort to get it to group, (under 30y from a bench, mind you), then is it worth the effort? IMHO the learning curve shouldn't be this steep! I'm just waiting on you guys to find a winning arrow recipe because apparently my premium arrows aren't working. In the meantime I'm glad I still have two Matrix bows

Re: the grass isn't always greener
Thanks for the tip. I just ordered 2 dozen of the 18" .003 in pink (all they had left) for $66 shipped free. I have only shot Diablos with the 150gr field points and broadcutters, so I'll have to get some new stuff to put on the front of these.Goose52 wrote:BEEs still 50% off at the black eagle website... .003 BEEs are additional $3 off that price
Maybe some slick trick magnums in 125gr?

What wheelie are you shooting ?bellerivercrossbowhunter wrote:I've been using a compound crossbow for target shooting for the last month or so.
I've come to the conclusion that you can't beat the simplicity of a re-curve. My Micro is dead on out to 40 yards with ease. I can barely get the compound to group @ 20 with the same arrows. Perhaps I'm doing something wrong..... Lol
My main bow is still my Micro 355....

Re: the grass isn't always greener
Well this all just made my mind up if I wanted a Skorpyd! I can't teach Colton manners and good sportsmanship if I'm throwing expensive equipment across the yard! If it " opens up" at 30, .... not for me.

Perhaps you have't noticed but he's there already. Maybe he needs some fine tuning but there's no question in my mind that he's well on his way to becoming a fine young man.flightattendant100 wrote:Well this all just made my mind up if I wanted a Skorpyd!

Paul, the DS is the only Scorpyd with this setup. All of the others shoot well with little fuss. Given a bit of time, the DS will get sorted out as well.
