Southland Archery Supply SAS Scorpii 55 Lb 29" Compound Bow Archery Hunting Target Bowfishing Package

I bought this as my first bow with the extra goodie pack. Amazing starter bow with the flexibility of different draw lengths and draw weight. I dialed it back to 35 pounds and shot with my fingers (not too smart). Picked up a release and tied a D-loop. Now we were having fun! Dialed it up to 55 lbs, got some better arrows and pretty much shot this bow every day for 2 months. My daughter is starting to shoot now, so I'm giving it to her - too easy to adjust the draw length and weight back down for her.Even though I've moved on to a "more expensive" bow, this Scorpii is still a heck of a lot of fun to shoot. The quality is very good. I did upgrade the SAS rest with a WhiskerBisket. And will likely replace the string in the near future.

This has to be one of the best bows out there. I also own the SAS Feud 70lb bow and it's also accurate with a smooth release. The string comes very dry. So you need to use a good amount of lube wax and a hair dryer to help melt it in as you rub it on, because you want the string to look wet, glossy, and shiny. Not a dull black color as it comes. You can't miss with this thing. The short limbs keep vibrations low. It's very light weight so it's easy to point and shoot accurately. It has a very smooth draw back with little to no wobble after you release. I tried the Leader Accessories 70lb bow, and that was horrible. The let off valley from the the back wall is too steep. In other words, it gives off a big wobble as the string is released.The plastic cable slide works but chews the string away. I highly suggest buying the Saunders Hyper Glide. I have one. It doesn't chew away at the string at all. My string still looks untouched after my first 100 shots. I also use the Saunders Vudu piston which helps dampen vibrations. The arrow rest that comes with the accessories package is good for starters. Even though the string hits the string stopper very hard, the bow does not shake that much. There is no forward punching movement happening to my fist that is holding up the bow like the Leader Accessories bow gives. I have small hands and weak arms & shoulders. From draw back to aiming and releasing this is a very stable feeling bow all around for me. You can't go wrong with it. And i have a feeling the draw weight is above 55 pounds since its so hard to pull back. To adjust the draw weight properly, turn the Allen key 180 degrees clockwise to add draw weight or counter clockwise to reduce draw weight. Turning the allen key from the 12 o'clock position to the 6 o'clock position is considered one full turn. Its metal handle rubbed on my thumb bone giving me pain, so i just added soft material with shoe string to hold it tight to avoid the rubbing, and it worked. All bets are in with this 3lb 260fps bow. Its worth every penny.

Solid bow for the price. I'm a 5'10" male 195 pounds. Comes out of the box within 2 pounds of max draw weight and 29" draw length. Just barely right for my size and a caliper release. This is my first bow but from my experience with firearms, I can read into the quality. It's good. The limbs and cams are metal despite what people say in the reviews. Keep in mind this is an out of the box review. I haven't had time to get the peep sight installed. Everything else is quality for the price though. Wish I got a bigger bow but this will do. The 55lb draw is pretty tough. Can't wait to let some arrows loose

I purchased this bow strictly for bowfishing. I have been a bow hunter for years so I'm relatively knowledgeable about how to set up a bow.The SAS Scorpio came packaged well and in good shape. It was already set up for my 29" draw length but it can be adjusted to other draw lengths without a bow press. The first thing I normally do when setting up a bow is to use blue threadlocker on all the screws including the ones attaching accessories except for the main limb bolts of course. The bow did come with some allen wrenches, a cheap one pin sight, a cheap rest and a mount to attach a quiver. I did not get the package version. I think the mount, sight and rest are unusable but didn't need them for my application. It did not come with a nock or D loop string attached or loose in the package. The finger savers I had installed at an archery shop as I do not have a bow press. I dropped the poundage to #40 and have shot it 5 times with a heavy fiberglass bowfishing shaft without any issues. I will see how well it holds up to using heavy shafts and add to this review later. With the axle to axle length only being 28" it can pinch your fingers which is why I opted for the type of finger savers I installed. With the bow being so short the maneuverability should be great for bowfishing. As an adult I would probably not use this bow as a dedicated deer hunting bow, but with the draw length adjustability, should be okay for youth.I should note that the para cord on the grip, rest, finger savers, bowfishing reel and shaft seen in the picture does not come with the bow.

Awesome bowfishing rig. It's a back up/loaner bow. It has deep cams to keep the string from rolling out. It can be turned down plenty low enough. The arrow fell of the string twice and got dry fired both times. Just have to tune the bolts out 6 turns then roll the string back on the cam. It's worth the money if it can be dry fired, fixed and a couple minutes and still put fish in the bow.

First of all, the sellers are excellent and the company also sells many other excellent items, as for the product, this bow exceeds expectations. It shoots with incredible accuracy, the craftsman ship is excellent, and you couldn't ask for a better price. I bought this bow with the accessories and I highly recommend doing so. I also recommend buying an arrow release. This is not my first bow, but it's definitely my favorite. It's great for beginners and experienced archers. However, it is very powerful and can be used as a deadly weapon if the draw weight is augmented to its full potential so keep this in mind when buying it.

I used it a lot and reliable
