EspressoBuzz Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Oh yeah this oughta get the anti crossbow hunters foaming at the mouth! It's a gun! It's a Bow! No look It's a reasonable hunter taking an ethical shot with just another tool. Let the fur fly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFieldArcher Posted August 14, 2014 Author Share Posted August 14, 2014 Very nice crossbow. Sounds quiet compared to the one i have. sounds like a damn 22 going off lol Scorpyd is quiet out of the box, the Limbsaver X-Bow kit will quiet it down even more... got the new Broadband on order.

TheFieldArcher Posted August 14, 2014 Author Share Posted August 14, 2014 I can't find the uncocked axle to axle dimension on their site. I just measured it, 19.75". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Culvercreek hunt club Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Bummer. Isn't that too big for NY? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhe Wiz Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 NY has a MINIMUM width, but no Max. See here. http://www.dec.ny.gov/outdoor/68802.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VT Outfitter Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Nice video. I bet if you need a follow up shot on a deer, your gonna be cranking that cocking crank with fire coming off your finger tips......LOL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First, how the heck do you cheek wield that thing with the auto cocker? Seems like it gets in the way? Oh, and how many months financing is available? 60? 72? I've bought cars that cost less.

fasteddie Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 You can get the .......... ORION Scope Plus Package-camo with AcuDraw $1,924.00 USD ......... according to their site . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, and how many months financing is available? 60? 72? I've bought cars that cost less. The cocker housing actually makes a nice rest... price wise, not the most expensive! And what ever floats your boat, some guys will spend more than 10 X that on a gun... and then X 2 fine tuning their gun just the way they want it!

Zhe Wiz Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 (edited) Don't get me wrong guys! I'm likely to buy one of these eventually. Kinda waiting for NY to get its act together and allow xbows for the entire archery season. When that happens I'll be unloading my bow and current xbow (reverse limb Horton) and buying one of these. But damn, they are expensive!! Nice to hear the cocker doesn't prevent a good cheek wield. Edited August 15, 2014 by Zhe Wiz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can order the Orion without the AcuDraw and save $$$, I have a Ventilator 125 and had no problem cocking the 125 LBS with the short direct pull cocker... well, the 150 LBS is not bad either with the short handle cocker! If you have no issues with your back or shoulders, you really don't need the AcuDraw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WNYBuckHunter Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Nice looking bows, but the price is out of range of what id spend on one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
First-light Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Not knowing much about crossbows when do you crank that thing up to shoot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No look It's a reasonable hunter taking an ethical shot with just another tool. Let the fur fly! ha. 1911 style pistol grips, auto cocker and scope will throw us off a little wont it? I think this looks great for the disabled or elderly hunter and I'll leave it at that. Not knowing much about crossbows when do you crank that thing up to shoot?

SteveB Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 so you dont get busted drawing silly Like a compound hunter in a ground blind with shoot thru windows? Or 20 ft up in a tree? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhe Wiz Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Leave poor Belo alone. He's still hurt that his beloved "tradition" (compound bow = tradition??) is nearly dead. Poor thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Five Seasons Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 (edited) Like a compound hunter in a ground blind with shoot thru windows? Or 20 ft up in a tree? i'm just happy i can smoke a cig and drink a beer now while i pull the trigger Leave poor Belo alone. He's still hurt that his beloved "tradition" (compound bow = tradition??) is nearly dead. Poor thing. tradition can be anything to anyone regardless of length of time. i will continue to hunt with a compound. you can hunt with what you want. the compound is not dying. you will see most records and serious hunters continue to use them.

SteveB Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 i'm just happy i can smoke a cig and drink a beer now while i pull the trigger So you are suggesting that crossbow hunters drink and smoke hunting but "traditional" compound ones don't. Does it really sting so bad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
