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.
 
Called a couple of times and got immediate results. I do know he's slow on email so I just call. My experience is great if you have a problem or question.

I wanted a 150 SLP and was promised a 150 SLP was coming several times by Jim. I wont settle for a 165 or 130 Telson. If he is not a man of his word, then I dont want his bows. How hard could it be to up-date his web page or place a post on this forum.
 
Lt.Dan,

Hi this is Rex from Scorpyd Crossbow. We will have a few sets of 150 limbs soon and if you want to call me and place a order just give me a call at 319-538-8540. If you call and place a order it will reserve a set of 150 limbs for you. Jim stays real busy with calls and trys his best to help with everybodys questions but sometimes there isnt enough time in the day to get to all his voicemails and calls so feel free to give me a call anytime and I will do my best to help you. Sorry for any trouble you have had in the past but us at Scorpyd try our best to offer the best in service to our customers.


Thanks again

Rex
Hi Rex, thanks for your respose. I may have spoken to you on the phone once, as well as Jim. But again you say SOON what is Soon? How about a solid date like 08-01-11 or whatever the true confirmed shipping date will be. I have heard soon and 2-3 weeks since May and those soons never came to pass. I think you made my point!
 
I have wanted a SLP 150 since it was placed on Scorpyd website. I called and e-mailed several times to purchase one. Jim never had any limbs all summer. Looks like its now going to be built. A SLP 150 with ADF would be even better. I feel much better with a ADF bow. Lets keep calling and posting Jim and Rex, and convince them to build the SLP 150 with ADF. IMO, Scorpyd is the best x-bow on the market, the 150 SLP with ADF would be the best Scorpyd ever built.
I have waited this long, a little longer for a SLP 150 with ADF, I ready to own one, if Jim builds one.
 
I was hoping to see a post from Jim or Rex about the SLP 150 ADF, I guess not. It just seems to me, they just dont really care about customer feedback or building a new x-bow that people want to buy. Jim seems content with his 130 and 165 x-bows and not motivated to expand the line.
