Crossbows are rediculously easy to shoot and are a complete joke. I have zero respect for any able bodied man that cried for them to be legal, and they were only legalized to kill deer for pgcs antideer crusade and to gain archery tag sales. I am opposd 110 percent and legalization hasnt changed that. Ive fought this tooth and nail and despite 4 to 1 speaking out against, pgc chose to include them. End of story.

As for the crossbow manufacturer crap that you posted info from, its a bigger joke than the pgc is. Money grubbing greedy sobs who couldnt care less about hunters or hunting in pa, only a well padded bank account.

"Myth: A crossbow shoots much faster and farther than compound bows.

Fact: Under controlled conditions, a series of velocity and kinetic energy tests were performed on two compound bows with 70# peak draw weights (248 and 205 feet per second) and 2 crossbows with 150# peak draw weights (228 and 242 feet per second). The bottom line was that both the compound bows and crossbows produced similar ballistic results. That is, the crossbows did not shoot farther or faster than the compound bows. "

Dont know if you were to dumb to realize it or what, but 150 lbs. isnt the max weight of crossguns. Many are 175 and 200#. And one that shoots 228 to 242 fps is a total piece of chit! Many are WELL over 300 fps, and the STRYKER is 425 fps!!!!!!!!!!

Btw, tenpoint doesnt make the Stryker. But if they are gonna compete, they better up their performance, and Im sure they will match it soon enough, if not exceed it.
