Bowtech did jump the gun a little with some of their initial Desert Strykers going out with problematic triggers. From yor explanation, your bow was one of those. The problem was corrected with a trigger replacement. I've shot mine daily for months now with absolutely no problems. The Desert Stryker is one awesome crossbow with unbeatable accuracy and minimal recoil. I've not heard of anyone having trouble after their triggers were replaced until your post.
