The bushings for the limbs are huge sealed roller bearings, 4 of them. The pins on the end of the limbs should be fine. Doesn't appear to be as much stress there. The stirrup and the link to the riser both move slightly. The stirrup has a hard rubber insert in it that allows the link to move in & out about 3/8 of an inch. Interesting design. It's pretty quiet and has a shorter noise duration for the shot and lower in volume. Different sound more like a loud compound than an xbow to me. Little to no hand shock. Weight is down from the original Striker quiet a bit. Balanced better too. The chain drive is gone and it's a by hand or rope cocked model. Must shoot to uncock it too.
