i love my predator............i bought mine around 4 months ago.....i have owned hortons,excals,and the desert stryker.....this is the fastest xbow i have ever shot and i have probably shot it 250 times on the same string......i had a stryker last year that turned out to be a lemon but i understand they have those trigger problems fixed now...for the price i think its a great deal compared to the strykers,ten points and such....i have the top line shooting 2 inches high at 20 yds and up to 40 it is dead on and extremely accurate.....hope my input helps
