I'm shooting at just over 400 fps (original Stryker) and shoot at my smiley face special crossbow box. I had to buy an arrow puller to remove the arrows. I love shooting this bow but it's been hard on my tender shoulders. I'm not shooting it often enough right now because I'm still healing from a successful 2nd round of shoulder surgeries. If I could pull mine out without the grunting and groaning it sure would increase my practice time. Since I have to remove my sight to fit in it's case. So I have to re-sight it in every time I remove it.
