I am researching what is currently offered, so I can replace my 10 year old Excalibur Equinox which has been a great bow. I have looked at most of the models offered by various manufacturers and believe I have narrowed my choices down to either the Scorpyd Aculeus or Nemesis.
I have read the various comments and reviews from folks on this forum that actually own these bows and would like to know if the Aculeus has been a reliable and trouble free bow for those that own one. I see many that have purchased the new Nemesis are having trouble with premature serving wear possibly caused by cam lean. Does the Aculeus have a one piece riser? Can I expect once set up and timed correctly at the beginning of hunting season the Aculeus would be good to go for the season. My concern after having the recurve crossbow is during hunting season I mainly want to hunt not be tuning my bow, however I do like the increased power and flatter trajectory offered by the faster bow and is frequent tuning and adjustment the price I would have to pay for that performance. Also would I be able to decock the bow with the Acudraw crank system. In general would the Aculeus be more trouble free than the newer Nemesis as the speed of both is fine for me. I can not find any dealers close to me (north central Pa) where I can physically look at one of these but am assuming because of the rear riser it would be an easier bow to hold than my older Excalibur.
I know there are a lot of knowledgeable folks on here and thank you for any that have time to respond.
