Default New Bows Coming?

Anyone heard what's coming for new xbows? I read a rumor on Excal forum they might be bringing out a new wheel bow. Our buddy Randy has a thread on 10 pt forum called "Faster, Lighter, or Quieter?" Looks like they have a new goody or two. Having met Randy, I'd be willing to bet that's a loaded question, they prolly have addressed all three of those issues at one time in one new "bestest yet". I'm betting some company is going to offer an adjustable length stock for the slighter stature market, and that those who ordered Strykers are still getting emails saying "coming soon" lol.

Dan,
You hurt my feelings. I would never ask a loaded questionI am always dead serious when I make statements, never any sarcasm
Nowhere in that thread did I say we had addressed any of those issues. I was simply asking which people thought was the most important to them. Have we addressed any of those issues? Well maybe some, but some we just have to wait for technology to catch up with our needs.
I will say I really like the new"Bestest Yet"bow. They are shooting the photos today and Monday for the catalog.
The Strykers are not supposed to ship until mid December. I got that from a good source.
If you ask questions, i will answer as best I am allowed to right now.
Randy

Lol, Randy, you know all my questions have been answered EXCELlantly.
I'm betting that faster, lighter, and quieter comes in the same box, lol. A good salesman never asks a question he/she doesn't have the answer to already. Being the natl sales mngr for 10 pt is far beyond "salesperson." Imho, 10 pt has a winner there, you do a good job!

Actually we did not get all three in one bow, but we got 2 out of 3, so it is a good start. We go 2 out of 3 on 2 bows in different mixes if that makes sense in a cloudy sort of way
One is faster and quieter, one is lighter and quieter.

I was thinking about getting the new Middleton or 10 pt Pro Elite but, after seeing the new Stryker, would have no other.
It's a Stryker or nothing for me.
Of course, I would love a Robin Allen custom but, the one I would want with the features I like, would probably cost twice as much as a Stryker.

I'm curious, what do you have now, or will the Stryker be your first xbow?

Faster isnt better sagittarius, Those things weigh a ton and there might be some problems they havent worked out yet. I'm not going to buy one for a long while, i'll have a phoenix and a ten point b4 i get one.

Why would ExCal go back into making wheel bows when they claimed that the recurve was so much better,,

I said it was a rumor, doubt that it's true. And, they were right weren't they? lol. Their wheel bow which was made from 2001 to 2004 is tough competition yet today, be a sad day in Ohio if they bring it back out w/ no improvements, lol. Hope 10 pt puts out one even better than the Pro-Elite so I can play w/ yours Henry!! I'll even pay the shipping both ways, lol.
