Calling out Jim from Scorpyd...

I live in NC and we have a 150 lbs. min. draw weight law. I have wanted a Scorpyd for two years. I was so happy when I saw a 150 SLP listed on their web site. Months ago this forum talked about the new Scorpyd x-bow being out soon. Scorpyd website said the bows would be built in April 2011. I called Jim twice and left voice mails and it took a week to get a call back. I sent a E- Mail and did not get a response for several days. I finally got to speak with Jim in May and was told the 150 SLP was not ready. I was told to call back in 2-3 weeks whick I did, and got same answer, no 150 SLP. I have continued to call every couple of weeks since, with same answer, no 150 lbs limbs. The last time I spoke with Jim he sounded as if he were tired of my calling. He seemed to not care if he sold me a bow or not. For $1200.00 you should at least act like you want someone's business. From reading this forum, and every other bit of information I could find, and buying a SZ380 which broke, I believe the Scorpyd is the best built and best performing crossbow. I wish Jim's customer service was as good as his bow, I guess, I wont know just how good his x-bow really is.
Hey Lt. Dan
If the 150 SLP isn't ready why not settle for a 165 SLP .They are the same price I think
 
Mine latches fine. It's the rebound after the shot and the claw in the down position. The old fake cock and shoot trick to get it back to normal. The stopping of the rebound by slowing down the claw just a tiny amount would end it.

Raleigh and I had the same issues with the ADF and mine did the same as his .If the latch is rebounding now you mite want to have Jim remove it like he did are crossbows and others.I had a RDT125 first then bought the RDT/SlP 165 I though I would miss the ADF but Im Ok with out it.Like others have said .When it is cocked it is cocked and you pull the triger it will fire. Not to say you will have the same problem but you never know.My 165 is been fine eversence.
