Nope, I hadn't seen that before. Interesting.

But as to speed, what has driven the compound market for the past 20 years? PSE X-Force, Martin Slayer, Bowtech 82nd Airborne - those are just a few compounds that are claiming speeds up to 350 fps IBO. When they bump up that extra 50 fps and break 400 fps, how many do you reckon will holler they shouldn't be allowed in bow season? I'd bet they won't be able to keep 'em on the shelves.

I haven't shot a Stryker yet. Probably won't ever get a chance to. I can't see spending $1500 on a crossbow when I can get a nice Browning Citori shotgun for that kind of money. A few differences between it and my Vixen. It's 175 lbs draw, my Vixen is 150. It's got high performance cams, Vixen is a recurve. It's got a 17" power stroke, Vixen is 13.5". And it weighs over 10 pounds! Vixen weighs 6 lbs. And I don't need a winch to draw the Vixen.

I'm just saying your average green toothed redneck - the guy everyone seems to be terrified will be flooding the woods - isn't going to be waltzing out to the deer woods toting a Stryker. Going on safari in Africa, where you can hire someone to carry it for you and you need the punch, then yeah. They'd do well for that.
