Squirrel, are you nuts? The Phantom and the Stryker are not beginners bows. Ya gotta go see a doctor or a witch doctor or maybe acupucnture (in the head).
I appologize for the slip of the young mind but the Excalibur Vixen is just about perfect. Ask Randy(10ptCrossbow) what a newby 10 point would be.
Thomas go and fart in a tent! A Phantom or a Striker????? If I was your dad, you'd be cleaning the udders for two months for that one!
Killzone, check the prices on the internet. The boys will give you some advice soon.
