Yep......that scope looks pretty sweet! And it also looks VERY expensive!

Have decided to order a new Ventilator. I have a SLP 150 and was thinking of getting a lower poundage Ventilator.
I would like to hear any feedback from Scorpyd shooters who have lower draw weight Scorpyd xbows. Any difference in noise,accuracy,cable/string life, or trigger pull. I believe a 125 Ventilator at 370fps would handle anything in
North America. Jim always said the Telson 130 was his best all around bow. Any information or suggestions would be greatly app.

THANKS

my 130 is a sweet shooter.  Just get the cocking sled.  The rope is fine but takes getting used to. check out my vid review on the telson on youtube. search 'darkhorse2reign'  ... I don't think you can go wrong at 300 fps to 350 fps.  anything more IMO is just luxury and boys (and girls) having loads of fun.  There are many quality bows out there... I'm partial to my Telson b/c it was my first really premium xbow.  You will be happy I'm sure with whatever choice you make with Scorpyd.

Think the prices on the Telson and SLP will drop in price with the new Ventilator hitting the market?

That's a good question. I sold my Telson pretty quick for a good sum although it was a good deal. I wouldn't bank on it but you never because the Ventilator is very close in price and it offers a lot more, imo. I think I'd good for business to drop some of his existing models $50-$100, but I don't know all the financials so I'm shooting from the hip with that opinion.

Would not surprise me to see the Telson and SLP become extinct by year's end !
Since it's 2012, maybe we'll all be extinct by then.

I don't know because I think Jim likes having the speed title... If he got rid of the slp, he'd no longer have the fastest bow. Maybe he'll build another bow just as fast as the 165 or faster?

I like the way you think redm2.

Actually, I agree with you; I believe the 165 will be replaced by a faster model in the future.

500 fps is the new goal, lol!

All you need is a decent oak tree and your pickup to cock it. And some Aerobolt 3000.

Well I read the threads too long. I went and shot a Telson 130. Wow what a great shooting and quite bow! Too bad we have this stupid 150# min in NC .So I ordered a new Vent 150 camo. I hope it is as good as the Telson. Can't wait until it comes it

I ordered the Ventilator 150 (camo) as well...   which is bitter sweet...  the wait is killing me!

Wow,  I've been away for quite awhile.  I was thinking about doing the upgrade on my ancient RDT 125 to the Telson 130.  Now my head is spinning.      How much are they getting out of old 125's now.
