Default $1600 worth of parts...

Had an interesting happening in the store last week.

A gentleman wanted to test fire the Striker (the original, not the Desert).

I showed him the ins and outs and he took his first shot. He liked it. Loaded it up for the second shot to have another go. On the shot, I thought I heard parts skipping down the concrete range... (reminded me of some of Pete Shepley's old experiments)... sure enough.. bow came undone.

Upon inspection, it looks like the string acctually CUT THROUGH the nock of the bolt! You could see where the nock had been (and the pieces of the nock were what I heard flying down range), and the carbon fiber subsequently cut the string, and the vibrations popped the cable.

Could have happened to anyone, just an unfortunate happening I suppose. Seems the thing is too powerful for its own good!

Anyone heard of any issues with a stryker, or own one? Any feedback good or bad?
