The Stryker is a monster...but it's great.
The crack is as loud as some...even for it's power though, not as loud as some.
The cocking mechanism works very well.
The trigger is one of the best I've felt.
Very accurate...as most modern bows are.
Just a tad nose heavy...other than that...worth every penny.

Sparhawk is also asking about the Darton line.
I've got two of those also. Again very happy with these bows.
See my note attached to his post.
