Sad way for two monarchs to go...

It is scary where this country is headed. To us it is common sense but in the real world pretty darn close to 50% of the population is going to vote for one of these clowns.

He was a great guy to deal with and one of the people who helped me decide on this crossbow even though he couldn't sell it to me. I can't say enough good things about him. His arrows aren't cheap but I am always willing to support the people that have supported me.

Will do, If it works how I am thinking it will, it should be great. Waiting on a few more pieces to the puzzle and then I will be able to give it a try. Instructions with the optimizer say to site in at 20 yds and then 60 yds then find the tape that matches and all other yardages will be right on in 1 yard increments. Not sure where I am going to shoot 60 yds where it is flat. Hoping at my parents house I can get to 60 yds but not sure. I know I can at the hunting lease but it is always windy there.

That stinks Cynthia. Sorry. I was looking forward to seeing the progress with tweetie.

Ballistic chart is pretty incredible.

It is 19 or so inches axle to axle and a little more limb tip to limb tip and 180lb draw weight. I actually ordered a what is for some reason is called a night train riser conversion for it that a forum member on AT was selling incase I decide I want to go that route. The night train conversion will make it 17" axle to axle and only 12 or so " cocked so it will still meet NY minimum requirements. Had we not had those requirements I may have gone with a Ten Point or Ravin but I know Scorpyd makes a high quality bow that is legal and I am tired of waiting on stupid laws that should but never change....I figure I will be happy with this bow no matter what they do with the law.

Got the scope mounted up. Found out I need an extension for the HHA to space out the wheel so the cocking sled can get past the optimizer. I ordered a dozen 22" spinal Tapps from Jerry at South Shore Archery and a Hurricane 600FPS target so I should be ready to try this sucker out in a week or two....

Yes, it meets the BS min width and draw weight restrictions.

I am heading to Canada to go snowmobiling tonight, I'll be back on Monday. My buddy and I are both married and both our spouses love when we go away. I think they like their me time as much as us guys do....

Tried to mount the HHA and scope but the rings that came with the scope are too short. I'll have to get some different ones tomorrow.

Grampy, if you ever make it to Zacks, stop by the Sunoco station down the Road. I run the store and will buy you a cup of coffee!

No, I bought the bare bow. One of the things I really liked about Scorpyd was you could get a bare bow instead of a package. Anytime I have gotten a package, I have upgraded everything. Although with Scorpyd, they give you options with their packages. I purchased a HHA Optimizer and the Hawke Scope that goes with it from a Member at Crossbow Nation. I will get that mounted up when I get home. I still need to get arrows for it and a target that this won't blow through before I can even try it out....

Its an Aculeus. I really wanted a Nemesis but I spend a lot of time researching it, spent some time on Crossbow Nation asking questions etc. (great forum by the way) It seems the Nemesis has a lot of string issues and nobody that had one would recommend it. They all recommended this or the Death Stalker. I went with speed....

I was going to wait until I got home to open it since I had it shipped to my work but I couldn't wait!

I know alot of you guys are against it but I am really hoping for full inclusion.

I have had my Bowtech Assassin for I believe 7 years. It is the first bow I ever bought. I really don't see a reason to upgrade. It kills deer if I do my part and if crossbows ever become fully legal I will probably never take it out again....

I have had my pistol permit since 1997. I don't carry very often. I really probably should. I run a store and I am always going to the bank with lots of money. I guess because I do it everyday I don't feel unsafe doing it. I know if a situation ever arises I am going to be upset that I wasn't carrying....Hopefully that never happens....I bought a S&W body guard intending to carry it everyday and I did for a few weeks and then I just stopped. Maybe I should start throwing it in my pocket everyday again. All the stupid laws make it so it seems like the one protecting themselves, at least in NY wind up the criminal.

Congrats Biz!!! My baby girl turns 15 on Thursday...Enjoy it all, it goes by fast....

I get the same thing Turkeyfeathers posted above, then I just put the URL back in and I am on to this site. Weird.....Happened again just now...

Good Luck! Pulling for you......

Happy Birthday! Have a great day!

So sorry to hear. Few things in life are harder.....

I can't get behind any of these stupid laws that only attack the law abiding gun owner.....What is the statistic on criminals building a "ghost" gun? The percentage, if it isn't 0% has to be so low it doesn't even make a blip. You have to ask yourself, what are these laws doing to stop criminals. The answer IMO is nothing. Safe Act, Safe Act part II, Safe Act part III if it is put into law. None of it does anything to protect law abiding citizens and nothing to stop the criminals. Every step is an attack on the law abiding gun owner and it's purpose is to make it such a PIA to own a firearm that law abiding citizens either won't bother or become criminals themselves. Win Win for those that want to rid us of our firearms and rights, all while claiming they believe in the second amendment and our right to own a gun. You just have to jump through so many hoops to own that gun it isn't worth it.....How many people don't get their pistol permit for no other reason than it is a giant PIA?
