Scorpyd Ventilator Crossbow

Scorpyd

Coralville, Iowa --(Ammoland.com)- Scorpyd Crossbows is proud to introduce the Scorpyd Ventilator for 2012.

The Ventilator will come with many innovations only found on Scorpyd Crossbows.

Crossbow hunters looking for a compact powerhouse will be pleased to know the new Ventilator is only 19.5 inches wide, axle to axle, and only 12.75 inches wide when cocked which makes this crossbow easy to maneuver in a treestand or the tight quarters often found in a pop-up ground blind.

The Ventilator is a mere 35.75 inches long and comes with a folding stock which makes cocking the crossbow easier in the seated position.

In addition to being more compact than previous Scorpyd models, the Ventilator is lightweight thanks to a vented barrel and a lightweight forged riser. The Ventilator tips the scales at 7.9 pounds.

The solid limb Ventilator is built with top notch components including Barnsdale limbs which are considered some of the toughest, longest-lasting limbs in the archery industry.

The Ventilator will be available in draw weights up to 165 pounds, producing 150 pounds of kinetic energy and will throw an arrow up to an incredible 400 FPS.

Like all Scorpyd crossbows, the Ventilator comes with reverse draw limbs which has a generous power stroke of 18.75 inches thus producing more kinetic energy with less draw weight than other crossbows. As a result, the Ventilator is extremely quiet when shot because large amounts of weight aren’t needed to produce extreme speeds. The Ventilator also comes with a light three pound trigger.

“Crossbow enthusiasts will surely be pleased with our new Ventilator,” Said Jim Kempf of Scorpyd Crossbows. “This bow is super fast, extra quiet, compact and lightweight, everything a hunter is looking for in a crossbow.”

The Ventilator will retail for $1349.

Leupold Optics

BEAVERTON, Ore. --(Ammoland.com)- Designed specifically for crossbow hunting, Leupold’s new Crossbones scope features an exclusive reticle integrated with a special power selector to maximize shooting accuracy.

The power selector is calibrated in velocity rather than magnification, allowing the hunters to easily match the ballistic profile of their arrows to the exclusive Crossbones Ballistic Reticle (CBR).

“Our CBR reticle is ideally suited to the function and power of today’s modern crossbow,” said Pat Mundy, communications manager for Leupold & Stevens, Inc. “The power selector ring allows shooters to effortlessly adjust to their arrow velocity and calibrate the CBR for the arrow at the same time.”

A 2-7x33mm scope, Crossbones offers all the optical performance and ruggedness typical of Golden Ring® riflescopes. Another key feature is Leupold’s Quantum Optical System™, which includes lead-free, precision-ground and polished lenses with Leupold’s exclusive Multicoat 4® coatings for enhanced resolution, clarity and contrast. Carefully positioned in optimum relationship to each other, the lenses deliver up to 92 percent total light transmission.

Finger-adjustable, ¼-MOA click windage and elevation dials allow quick zeroing and fine tuning in the field. The power selector ring incorporates a tactile indicator, making it easy to grasp and turn even while wearing gloves. A fast-focus eyepiece with a low-profile lock ring makes reticle focus easy to achieve and maintain.

Crossbones is waterproof, shockproof and fog proof. The scope is built for rugged use with a matte black one-inch maintube manufactured from 6061-T6 aircraft-quality aluminum alloy. It is covered by Leupold’s Full Lifetime Guarantee.

Weighing 9.9 ounces and measuring 11.3 inches in length, Crossbones sports modern styling with a gold-plated Leupold medallion highlighting the exterior design.
