Jim-

I am hoping you see this thread or someone informs you of it...

I am really close to buying a Scorpyd. Most likely the Telson 130 with a slight possibly the RDT150 will be the choice. Anyhow there are some issues I would like to see you publicly commment on...

1. What, if anything, has been discovered about the fraying cable problem on the RDT 165?

2. Would you be willing to, at the customers request, replace the Winners Choice cable/string combo with the Viper-X cable/string combo?

3. Have you had a chance to examine giannid's 165 that he had trouble with? What were the findings?

4. How many Telson 130's have had the same cam problem Super91 is experiencing? Are you going to reimburse customers for replacement strings and are you going to replace the cams that are having this problem; if it's a problem at all and not just an isolated incident?

5. How is the arrow development coming for the RDT 165?


If you could take a bit of your time and thoroughly answer these questions, it would help myself and others a bunch. Not to mention, reinforce confindence not just in your current products, but your company as well.

Thanks

The Carbon Express crossbow case followed by the Tarantula case are the best soft styles, from what I've heard.
I believe, you can order the Carbon Express case from Scorpyd.

I have the carbon express case from Scropyd and it works well with my 165. How well the case fits depends a lot on what sighting system you are using. I am using the scorpyd/Bad Rivers Sight system and it sit high in the case but if you are careful there are no problems. I also always remove my quiver and put it in the outer case. Tony

Dorge from Firenock and I are working on an arrow for the 400+ fps bows. It is undergoing testing right now and so far so good. It has extreme durability and accuracy is very good. That being said, as I tell of the 165 buyers, you get what you pay for. If you just want to kill critters at normal hunting range, 20 - 50 yards, the LaserII will work just fine and not break the bank. If you want to fully utilize the bows speed and accuracy capabilities, you have to pay for Aramid KV's or something similar.

Dorge and I will keep folks updated on the arrows,
Jim,
I have a 165 and am loving it. Cant wait till October 1st for opening of deer season.
I have a quick story for you and the other guys here. I brought my bow to a local bow dealer to have it run thru
a chrony. When they took my bow to shoot it they told me I couldnt go with them. I told them that they needed a
rihinheart or spyder web to shoot it on. They told me no problem, they had a rihinheart block. When they came back
they said I had a Bad A-- crossbow, and they had some bad news for me. The arrow passed thru the target, hit the wall six inches behing the target, and drove the insert two inches up the shaft. On top of that they determined the chrony wasnt working. Upon further investigating, the target was not a rihinheart but a block brand.
