Low spots in our drive have had water in them forever. So one day I saw tadpoles. So I wondered what, toads or leopard frogs. Yesterday I saw the tadpoles gone and thought what the heck. Just sort of eased around the puddles and something jumped I looked, but couldn't see a thing. So I started moving my hand about 5 inches above the edge of the puddles and this tiny frog jumped. So got my camera. This little tyke isn't a quarter inch long. The left line is just above it's head and the right line is pointing at it's right leg. Tried to enlarge the pic, but it just wouldn't show before it got blurry.

This is leopard frog, baby leopard frog that is. They don't live in water, but thick tall grass and we got that. Mowing around the edge of the fields I'll kick one ever so often. They don't get really get all that big, but once in a great while I'll see one almost big enough to think, frog legs. Average wise they are bigger than a tree frog by 3 or 4 times or more. Most tree frogs can easily sit within a half dollar coin.

I have the 60 pound max limbs on them, one set are Barnsdale and the other the powertuff.
As they are now with new spec cables and strings bottomed out all I can get is 51-52 pounds.
At one time I had at least 3/8" before the limbs would bottom out at 55 pounds.
Is it they are just worn out? I really want to shoot back up at 60 pounds.
I shoot at least 500 arrows a week with these 2 bows.
Thank you for any help on this.

At my height (5'9") and draw length (27.5"), I find my Alien Z with NitrousX C cams fits me better.

The Scepter shoots very well with the NitrousX B cams. For the NitrousX cam conversion, I use a Dremel high speed orbital sander and slowly sand down between the limb forks to remove a couple hundredths, just enough to get the cams and an ultra thin nylon washer in there. I have done this on a ShadowCat (sold over a year ago) the Scepter V and my Alien Z. All have worked without any problems at all, but of course, I cannot guarantee anything. Like any bow, I would not shoot them with underweight arrows.

I have the Scepter V at ~59 pounds, at 27.5" with a 323 grain arrow and getting 293 fps for ASA tournaments. I am somewhere in the middle of the adjustment range. I need to check on the drawboard to be certain, but I know it will go longer at least an inch or two, maybe more. I will check and confirm tonight.

The cams are polished, and it has the wide axles. The strings are solid silver with silver serving, including Angel center serving. I make my own strings following the Little Jon (Deezlin on AT) video method. The strings are in great shape. I made them over the winter. I pre-stretch at 300#, so they are settled in. I only shot the bow for practice and a couple of turnaments in January and February before I went back to the Alien Z.

The riser is red and the only mark I have seen is just above the bottom rear stabilizer mounting hole, where my v bar mount rubbed a little. There may be typical marks at the rest and sight mount, but I usually do not use a set screw on the rest to mar the riser. The current limbs are 3L (I know they are 3, not sure about the L, M, H) and I am not bottomed out, so it should easily go over 60#, presumably to 65# or better with these limbs. The limbs are black carbon weave and have the white Martin logo, NOT the green. I replaced the limb bolts with longer length stainless, so the bow can be taken down without a press (like all Martins used to.)

I also have the stock limbs (also white logo) (~60#) and Nitro 1.5 cams and strings (black & grey strings) I can put back on the bow if someone just wants it as a stock Scepter V Pro. Or, if you want both so you can do your own experiments, I will sell it all.

Prices (all TYD in continental US/Canada, elsewhere, will have to check shipping):

Scepter V with NitrousX B cams - $525

Scepter V returned to stock with Nitro 1.5 cams - $400

Scepter V with Nitrous X B cams and extra limbs and Nitro 1.5 cams & cableguard - $ 625

I will post some pics tonight.

If the bow sells as a stock unit, I will keep the limbs and Nitrous X B cams for another project, so please hold the offers to buy the Nitrous cams alone.

Only possible trades or partial trades would be NitrousX C cams with mini mods (including X mods), MAYBE a pristine condition target colored SlayerX with Nitrous B or C cams, a later model short draw lower weight bow for my daughters (11 & 14), or a really good sight/scope/light combination.

Thanks,

It doesn't have the STS system on it. A couple weeks ago I accidentally dry fired the bow while adjusting the draw weight. :mad::o After looking over the bow, it looks like the only thing that needs replacing is the slide. I appear to have got off lucky there. The peep sight popped out, and a string leech I put in last year partially came out. I just pulled it out the rest of the way. The string and cable needed replacing anyway, so I'm not worried about that. My bow never came with the STS system. Since I have to take it in, I was wondering if I should order the STS system from Martin (#8897)? If I do I'll order the Easy Teflon Slide (#BP50) while I'm at it. Does the STS quiet down the bow quite a bit?
