Calling out Jim from Scorpyd...

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
 
Rex-

Welcome to the forum. It's nice to see that Jim has you here to respond to customer and potential customer questions. If you haven't already, you might want to set up an account over on AT to respond to potential questions over there.

Currently I have the Telson 130 (great bow), but I've contemplated getting the 150. I guess the biggest questions I have is how fast is the 150, and besides speed what separates the 150 from the Telson 130?

Redm2 The SLP 150 speed will be 400 fps compaired to the 130 Telson being 385 to 390 so as for speed not much difference. I think as also Jim does that the best all around crossbow for hunting is the 130 Telson. I think sticking to the Telson is your best option but if you want to go to a faster speed the SLP is a option. The only difference in the Telson and SLP is the SLP riser is a forged riser which gives more strength and the barnsdale limbs in my opinion are the best in the business. The Telson also has the ADF and the SLP doesn't, so you in my opinion have the best all around crossbow. I hope I have answered your questions and good luck in the 2011 hunting season.
 
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!

LT. Dan

The 150 limbs are to be shipped toward the end of the week. They will have to be camo dipped and then shipped to our shop. I am hoping they will be at our shop witnin two or three weeks lets hope sooner. Like I stated yesterday that we have had several calls about the 150 limbs so if you are interested in the SLP 150 you need to call Jim are me to get your order in to reserve your SLP 150. There is only a limited number of sets in the last run of limbs so soon as they get to the shop they will not last. Hope I have answered your question today and hope to be hearing from you soo.

Thanks again,
Rex
 
Hi Rex - I'm sure your watching all this. This ADF stuff could be answered on a monthly newletter. I'm sure in the coming weeks there will be a rush of new buyers as the season gets closer. More information on your products could result in more sales.

Hi Tom,

Sorry guys but I have been on business trips and a trip south for a few days and havent got online lately. I know that several crossbows doesnt have the ADF. Jim is concerned about the complaints that you guys have and I am sure that one day all the Scorpyds will have the ADF. Jim is working on that issue so give him time and one day this issue will no longer be a complaint.
 
mabe it cost to much to have suplyers change there setup.prob wouldn.t be cheape an mite not be enough custermers wanting a change.

JWG,

You are absolutely right. It takes weeks to make changes come to life. The cost associated with any change to the bows is not an easy process. This is not an easy process and one that is time and cost consuming.
 
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.

Lt. Dan

we take customer feed back seriously and when its something that we can change to better our product we make every effort possible to accomplish that task. Dan it isnt an over night process it does take time. I will keep everyone updated on all issues.

Thanks for you patience,

Rex
 
Any new news on the ADF ? Rex ?

Obo,

The ADF will be in the Telson models only. We cannot have SLP Crossbows on the market with the ADF not in some of the models and in some of the models so as Jim and I have stated that as of now the Telson models will be the only one with the ADF in them.
