Prong: Do you already have your Crank back? If so, is there a very noticeable difference after the upgrade from the original model? Has the cord been changed?
I would not be surprised if Jim comes out with a new bow way before the next show. They might have one in the works and just be keeping it quite until it is market ready. I suspect they learned a lesson last year about jumping the gun just to be in the show with a prototype.I see absolutely nothing that’s been reported thus far at the ATA Show that I would sooner have then my Nemesis with the 2020 upgrades Dorge just provided on my ACAD System;....440 FPS with a 448 grain arrow, accuracy, simplicity, still the best trigger on the planet, plus ability to work on it myself. Just hoping the new Sig BDX/ Kilo 1600 Rangefinder compliments it as the complete rig. String serving improvements are forthcoming from Jerry, Marty & Rogue and if I was purchasing a new crossbow in 2020 I’d still be calling Rex at Scorpyd!! Just wish they would have come with a Gen 4 DeathStalker to up the performance( 425 FPS w/400 gr. arrow)and provide it with Barnsdale Limbs. Next year I’m betting Jim utilizes some of those patents he’s sitting on for something really special. For now some of their new auxiliary features will work well on my Nemesis when used out west.
As my ******* friends would say "I heard that"I just can't see spending $3k
I agree, and I plan on calling them. I want to be prepared to place an order if I like what I am hearing and I am about 90% sure that is what I want to do but have not 100% made up my mind yet. I wish I could handle one and try and cock it. I am a little concerned because I am short, only 5'6". I don't think I will have an issue strength wise but not sure about height wise. The videos I have watched on the crank has me really not liking the crank idea, seems cumbersome and slow. Not to mention the weight added to the bow.ApexerER,...... Call Rex & he’ll give you the details on any changes Scorpyd’s made to the 2020 model. Although not huge they will definitely improve the crossbow and supposedly help string reliability. The work Jerry at TappNation, Marty at Marty’s Custom String’s and I believe Rogue is also doing to improve serving life will also help. I just can't see spending $3k on a new high end TenPoint or Ravin when the 2020 Nemesis will give you equal and more then likely even better overall performance with the attributes I noted above that are critical for me.
Ugg, not what I was wanting to hear and what I was afraid of....Thank you for the feedback....Apexer: Hope this my help you some! I tried the long rope cocker on mine and strength wise not.a real big problem but I never got it near the latch, just have to get your hands so high near your shoulders! I am 5 ‘ 10. This was with the long rope cocker. I feel like it would be a very tough pull with the short cocker on the 480. In my case the crank is the only way to go on this bow. But In the Woods this thing is a beast!
I have couple reasons why I am really wanting the Nemesis. First, a lot of people have been telling me to get the deathstalker and I am sure from everything I have read about Scorpyd it is a great bow. But I am afraid if I buy it, I will be wondering what if.....2nd, I can buy a much cheaper bow and get roughly the same performance, maybe it won't be built quite as well, or have as good of a trigger but that isn't something I can say about the Nemesis. My main reason for wanting a Nemesis is, I would really like to use a single reticle scope or red dot and be able to hold center mass out to 40 yds. With all the playing with ballistic charts it looks like I can achieve that with the Nemesis never going more than +/- 2.5 inches out to 40 yds if I zero at 32 yards. To me this is important using a single site picture and when hunting in the woods I will have very little arc that I have to worry about hitting branches etc.Apexer just get the 420 instead of the 480. The 420 is plenty fast and has not had any problems that I have read about. It will be very easy to rope cock also.
