Bow Tech Stalker?

TomC1426 · 08-28-2004, 02:49 AM

I'm thinking about purchasing a Bow Tech Stalker from Huntersfriend.com and was wondering if anyone has one of these. With my draw length (33" but can use 32" with release) I'm very limited to what bows I have to choose from. I'm currently using a York Mojave that is 13 years old, so I'm thinking anything new will be an improvement.

Thanks
Tom

Tom, the Stalker will go to 32". You may get a little more with the draw stop. But don't set it too long as the cam will over rotate, wearing the cable serving. With 7 3/4" brace and 33"ATA, the Stalker is a nice shooting bow. It's also fairly lightweight. Though not as quiet or vibration/recoil free as the Liberty or Patriot, it is not by any means loud or jumpy to shoot.

I own a stalker and on some days I can outshoot my 04 patriot with it[8D]!
Not as quiet or jump free, but deadly accurate

The huntersfriend deal is a good deal and will serve you well.

I have a stalker and it is a great little bow.

It is top heavy and has a lot of bottom end recoil but it is very accurate.

I have two stalkers, a lefty and a righty. I like the light weight, don't mind the recoil.

my friend and I both bought a bowtech stalker from huntersfriend close to a month ago now and havent had any problems. i like the bow, its lightweight,fairly quiet, accurate, and pretty quik. im shooting 251fps and thats with about 5lbs of crap on the string and shooting 412gr arrows. i'd recommend it, especially the pacage deal from huntersfriend...hell of a deal IMO

Thanks everyone for the replies. I live about an hour and a half form the Hunters Friend shop and went to visit them last week. They seemed very helpful. I'm proably going to go back again and get the Stalker next tuesday if nothing happens.

Thanks
Tom

I also shoot a stalker and love it. It feels nice in my hands and is accurate and quiet. I recently moved my vibrablocks down to where the were touching the riser and it made a huge difference in sound reduction.
