The original post was only intended to inform. Personally, I am about to purchase the Excal Exocet. It appears to be the best buy for the money. Bowhunters Superstore beats the local competition by over $100.00. See attached link. http://www.bowhunterssuperstore.com/index.php?cPath=40_145 The Stryker will only come as a package deal which appears to mean that you have to buy additional items that may not actually be what you want. I was told that Bowtech has no intention of selling the xbow individually. I can get into the Excal for just over $600.00 fully rigged.
