Gimphunter. I almost bought a Stryker myself but had heard bad things about them on this forum. Still, I wanted to handle one myself and when I finally was able to I was glad I didn't buy one off the internet sight unseen. The weight of this thing would have been too much for me. I own an Exocet 200 @ 6.3 poundsand a Vixen 150 @ 6 poundsand couldn't be happier. Of course neither of mine is anywhere close in speed to your Stryker. Bowtech is a good company and I feel they will get the bugs out of them pretty soon. I hear their Desert Stryker weighs a lot less but I haven't handled one of those. Good luck to you with your Stryker.
