Hey Zwickey Fever....How does the Scorpion compare to the Hunter?
I have been curious about this and your the first person that I have ran across who owns both models.

Thanks

First and foremost let me start by saying that I could have taken the time a took better pictures. Sorry.
 Both the Scorpion and Hunter are equals in speed and quietness. The grip on the Scorpion is a little more beefier versus the more slimmer grip of the Hunter. The Scorpion limbs are slightly wider than the Hunter as well. Here's where the Scorpion and Hunter differ, the Scorpion has little more stacking than the Hunter. The Hunter has a smoother drawl and is ever so slightly more forgiving than the Scorpion in my opinion. Both bows are solid bows and are great performers. I love all my Martins!!

That's the info I have been looking for. They look similar to me in pictures but never been able to see Scorpion model up close.

Thanks again for the information.

No problem. The Hunter and the Scorpion in another mans hands, you may get another opinion about forgiveness, stacking and performance. But there is a significant difference in size of grips and limb widths. Like I said, both bows are solid performers and well made. A person can never go wrong with either bow.
