Yep!
The 115 bow is real easy to cock. I hate pulling the rope cocker over the scope on the 130lb bow. Kinda reminds me of when my wife is mad at me
Some people just like stepping on rakes
Re: Took the plunge on a Scorpyd DS 380
360FPS for the 110#
380FPS for the 130# limbs...
360 is plenty for me.....I guess Im not a speed freak!

The original bows had all kids of issues including rails not being straight. They have improved these bows immenselyBoo wrote: ↑Tue Aug 27, 2019 5:13 pmI have a 130 lb and a 115 lb. I've had troubles getting acceptable consistently with the 130 but the 115 is a charmer. Norm gave me some nocks and a cable slide to try so we shall see. The troubled one is the first generation that had no arrow support at the reat of the mainframe and the 115 has support. I've been told to crank down the arrow retainer and it didn't help. I've also been told that the faster bows are more difficult to shoo. Didn't respect that last one.
I still have a 150 Ventilator that shoots well and had a 125 and 165 and both were great. Scorpyds are good bows but the 130 DS I'm not liking. As much as I like my Scorpyds, I do not hunt with them. Excaliburs feel like my Browning 20 gauge SBS and I can fix anything with very little effort no matter what goes wrong.

Re: Took the plunge on a Scorpyd DS 380
guys, I have to follow up with an update:
after a few weeks of shooting the EXCAL is more proving to be more accurate than the scorpyd...
The DS seems to just be a bit all over the place even with the great trigger and off a rest...

as of right now the Matrix Grizzly is going to be my bow come our archery season opener of 10/1
Re: Took the plunge on a Scorpyd DS 380
They may need some tinkering but the Skorpyd's are deadly accurate. I'm not a wheelie bow guy myself, but do like the Skorpyd's. Normous is the man to talk to on here for sure. Carnivorous has tons of trigger time on the DS as well. You may consider switching to U nocks as they were proving to be more accurate out of the backwards arra flingers.

..,,, all over the place.,. Hmmm, exactly what I have been experiencing... my DS will be on its way back to Rex.... so far it’s been an expensive paperweight!
And let me say that I’m not pleased that I had to pay for Rex to ship me a box ($29) and what it’s gonna cost to ship it back.... right now I’m looking at, well I really can’t say!

Re: Took the plunge on a Scorpyd DS 380
I switched to the U nocks on my DS and it made my groups shrink big time.
I won't shoot the same dot with a second arrow anymore it's getting expensive!

A touch of frost has heightened your awareness and your heart steadily beats in anticipation. Your senses are suddenly alert to the movement on the forest floor and you realize that the moment of truth is at hand.
