Randy: Stacey got to see/hold one at a function called Does and Dolls or something like that. It was a hunt for women, wait, change that to a hunt by women, lol. Think Tenn Deer or AT or..... can't remember, but there was a lady facory rep there. It has a self cocking mech that is chain!! there is nothing new on Strykers sight, from what I've been told, I haven't been there since I found out you gotta drag your cursor around playing hide and go seek for info. I think she also said they have more orders than they can fill, probably hype from rep, lol. Hope the new owners save the shipping cartons for awhile, lol.

OOOPS: Right forum, [Tenn Deer] wrong author. It was "bowriter that shot it and made the post. See below if it copies ok.

I shot the Stryker. Here is my view after shooting the prototype. Yes, it is as fast as they claim. One pin 0-40 yards and it seemed to be consistent. However it it is he11 on arrows.

It has a long power stroke requiring longer arrows and is heavy at 11 pounds. It will require a rest of some sort to shoot with any accuracy. It has a chain type internal cocking mechanism that adds weight and I feel could use a little more design thought on the forearm, safety position and grip. But it is just as fast as they say.

Bowtechs Margaret Krupp demostrates the new crossbow. They will be ont he market in Nov. and already demand exceeds supply.
