Relatively recursive crossbow “Scorpion” produced by Russian company Interloper, the web is a lot of conflicting information. First, it was touted as one of the cheapest, worth up to 5 thousand.
This is outdated information, online shop Air Gun price is already over nine thousand – twice more expensive models of the same level Yarrow. It was affected by the expansion of the assortment supplied, which is now part of the reflex sight.
Secondly, the name “Scorpio” is often pronounced with the “Jaguar PKG” or Jaguar. It’s the fact that the wooden boxes from the Taiwanese company Poe Lang left the label “Jaguar”, located on the bed above the trigger guard. Thirdly, any particularly revolutionary technical characteristics it does not possess. This is a good recursive crossbow medium level that (after the upgrade) you can hunt in Peru.

The cost of the crossbow in the minimum configuration starts from 4500 rubles. When the maximum additional elements it rises to 9,500 rubles.
The owners of the crossbow noted that his power provokes something to try yourself as a hunter of wild boar. When equipped with a staff shoulders the distance of the effective firing does not exceed 30 meters. With reinforced – 50. The ellipse of dispersion of arrows at this distance fits in a square with sides of 10 cm, Many believe that the fuse box is too small. To move him, and not to shoot down the sight, almost impossible.
