Got the ADF stronger spring in mine. Seems fine so far but I want to run a few more through it before calling it a fix. Just wanted to say there might be some hope for those wanting the ADF in the 150 & 165.

I want to zero in the scope some more to test the Twilight at longer yardages and to test the ADF. I plan on doing that today.

Joke of the week.............

Sounds good, Big Bird.
I was wondering how the ADF was doing since you got the bow back from Jim.
If it's a fix and Jim can add the ADF to future SLP bows, the sales will increase dramatically. :goodjob:

Scorpyd Crossbows...Nothing else compares !
I'd rather kill with a crossbow than wound with a compound !
"Compound Bowhunters"...Why do you fear the more humane and efficient weapon ?

Yep & I'll likely be one of them! ... Unless Jim has something new up his sleeve?

Go Get It!

I will. I hope this is the fix.

You know I got it back, bolted the scope back on it and made 2 clicks on the yardage and it was right on. Took it out today for more and at 40 it's packing them in. Daughter got her 125 out and I was shooting 40. First shot of the day she goes let me try mine at 40. I said ok. About 1 inch to the left. These bows really shoot.

The Twilight scope set at 400 with the Aramid KV and a 100 grain head is on the money for 20-30-40. Not even a fraction of an inch off on elevation. I didn't go for 50 I'll hit that next time. This thing is a bean field slayer for sure. Now if I can get some deer to cooperate.

Any more news on that fix? My adf she no work. Found out the hard way while loading an arrow.
This is on my torsion machine which has seen a lot of use, but is very low poundage. No one was hurt but my ceiling has a nice slice and hole in it. Kinda neat to see that carbon shaft explode everywhere...not.

I dont really care because I need to dryfire test my stuff, and now I know about it Im super diligent about using that safety.
