No one with common sense on here wants to spend that kinda money on a CB that is the first off the press just waiting for people to find the flaws in them only to have problems. Good speed is nice and all, but that is a little to much in my opinion and will only make people think they can shoot farther then they should. People are going to have a hard time finding arrows that will withstand that kind of punishment, let alone a target that will work for them.

Some people might be offended by that statement ..

from what I have read about the Stryker they put a lot of reserch into it and hada long testing peroid before releasing it , someone had to be the first to buy a Horton,, a TenPoint ,, and an Excalibur.. were the first to buy those bows lacking in common sense??
