I have two Scorpions and I like them! The last seventeen (?) inches if the limb is reflexed slightly, but it's hard to tell if this is any different in performance compared to a Howard Hill. I would like to lay them side by side with a San Marco because I can't see any difference in the craftsmanship just looking at San Marco pictures. They feel great in the hand which is a big plus IMHO. I made up some 900 grain Bemans for my 65#er and it very quietly flings them out there with excellent results in the accuracy dept. There are a fine example of eye candy, which is another plus.
