Review of the one-piece longbow from Southwest Archery. Scorpion @ Southwest Archery: swarchery.link... === Follow me on Facebook: / nusensei Twitter: / nu_sensei
I appreciate your thorough review and demonstration. I'm currently taking an archery class and considering purchasing my own bow. It is a very beautiful bow, with a simple elegance. You've convinced me that at 60+ years of age, I really don't need to spend much more money to acquire something worth owning and perhaps passing on to a grandchild. (I'm not a noob at shooting arrows, by the way, I was first introduced to archery in college many moons ago.) Thank you again.
I absolutely LOVE my Scorpion longbow! It's one of my most favorite bows. Southwest Archery really does a great job at offering some very nice quality bows for very affordable prices. The Tigershark Pro recurve takedown, The Spyder Recurve Takedown, and Scorpion Longbow are all excellent bows whether you are just starting out, or you are a seasoned and experienced archer. You simply will not find better quality and craftsmanship for the price.
I just started bare bow...of course i had no intention of getting a sammick sage....but then on vacation i found a used with 2 sets of limbs for a good deal. I'm enjoying it so far but looking forward to advancing to some more stylish bows
Good, Quality, and Well manufactured. Hopefully. If you've been shooting it for the last four months, may I ask if it has sustained any tip fractures, Laminate separations or limb twisting please? Considering buying one, but I have a 31" draw. Thank you again for your expertise and enthusiasm and amazing explanatory abilities and efforts!
The thing about long bows is they have a slow string speed so I shoot heavy arrows with them, it preserves the energy better. I have a bow just like this but the one marketed by Cabelas as the Frontier long bow. But when I take that thing to the club to shoot I tell people that i'm using the force 😊' But yeah I shoot the Gold Tip traditional classic 500 spine 10.2 GPI cut at 31" with 125 grain field point and they fly very well.
I just have this Scorpion Longbow from Southwest Archery five days ago. This is a great bow. Beautiful bow, and quiet. I like to hear the sound when I shoot: quiet. And I don't have any silencer on the string. I will do it and want to know how quiet it is. Thank you NUSensei for doing this video.
Nice review!!! I love the simplicity of these type of bows as well. For a long time my only bow was a Sky Archery Trophy Longbow of similar design. That Silence is awesome! They are very stable and accurate, and can be hard on arrows because of that ;)
😊 The Silence of the Limbs 😄👍. Nice vid Nu Sensei, I can see that you get a real kick out of shooting trad style with no sights, that grin says it all 😊. A serious question though, youve got me suffering from target boss envy syndrome really badly 😮!!! what are your target bosses made from ??? It looks like some sort of compressed wood/straw type building construction type material board 🤔, what is it called and what is its longevity like ? I am intrigued as I destroy my own home made targets pretty rapidly. I tend to use plastic woven mail bag or fertilizer type bags stuffed with pallet wrap but as said I do destroy them rapidly and dont like the fact that little bits of plastic are forever being pulled out and im having to continually pick them up before they blow away into the environment 💀.
We used to use a straw matting material called Strammit. It's used as insulation material. It's proven to be very durable, though it isn't very good in wet weather as it becomes too compact. The main disadvantage is its weight. It's ideal for targets that you don't move around.
@@NUSensei Thank you Nu Sensei, just the info I needed, I will investigate if this is available here in UK and if it is an economically viable option 👍
Another nice review. Would you consider a review of the Southwest Archery Tigershark one-piece recurve? I have found no reviews on it and would be curious to see a review since it is a 60-inch one-piece.
I'm very curious if this bow is quiet enough to be less likely to cause deer to reflexively drop, which is so problematic for hitting their vitals with a bow.
Hi Sensei, are you using fast flight strings? My longbows have much less hand shock with fast flight. I think you should give it a try. Thanks for the video!

You are good at that thing where you shoot things!
He is also good at doing the points and winning the thing
What a great sound from that bow

Wow. So this is gonna be my first bow huh? I’m excited!😍😍
How is it?

As one black belt to another, I can tell you really are a Sensei by the way you twirl that longbow similar to a martial arts bow staff. Well done!!
Bo staff not bow
Always enjoy your reviews. The strike plate pad seems a little high? Perhaps why it seems so quiet, arrow passing under it?

So how quiet did it end up with string silencers? Video?

Place whisker silencers on it, I want to know how silent we can get it lol

Just Imagine it after putting some fur silencers on the string! I might have to pick one of these up
The sas pioneer is also a very good value starter longbow for even less
Great review and nice looking bow. So are you going to show up at your club's next shoot with it :-). Thank you. Alan
Where did you buy and how much did it cost you?
Man, that is a quiet bow! What's the brace height? Your string?

I love this review, you look to be having so much fun!!! Especially when you hit that arrow. :)
Hi
Is 34 pound draw weight ok to learn with..I’m your size but 30 percent weaker..haha
I swear that you are an elf from lotr in disguise, nice shooting I might consider getting a scorpion
I want to buy one of those targets. Can't find them anywhere though/:
He mentions in another video that they were built by a club member.
The angle you stand at while canting looks like you’re doing an MJ dance. XD
Good video sir
Honestly with all the bow reviews you do I would love to see you get into hunting if you don't already do that ...
Live to see you hunt with one of your favourites that's not a Olympic recurve something traditional of yours
er, yeah that's a logical progression.. or not
What goofball installed the side plate lol
