Here's 2 cents worth from the cheap seats. Much ado about nothing. That thing is way over-powered, which I'm sure will appeal to the speed freaks. I can say that because I was one for a short while, before I got a computer. He11, they should be like varmit rifles, right?? Faster just has to be better!! Once I got an electronic education, lol, I went from an Emax to a Phoenix. Then, I shot a Vixen, realized that they will all do the job, no amount of initial speed will over come physics. IOW: you still gotta range and allow for the drop of your arrow. If a lowly Vixen will shoot clean thru a deer,[pass through] where's the advantage in a much faster bow?? It's like Bill T. [co-owner of Excal] said about the "Swiss Bow""It's not whether or not it will shoot well, it's how long will it shoot well" And, this whole thing applies to your beloved Hortons, Parkers, Barnetts, and 10 pts. Make no mistake, I personally trhink Excal makes the best xbows on the market, got three, but I also deeply RESPECT ya'll's choice in xbows. I don't want one of these Strykers.
