Now, it also depends on what game your going for? Are you only going for whitetail? If you plan on going bear hunting, then i would choose the stryker, otherwise i wouldn't give up the defender.
Me and my friend shot 5 shots at 50 yards and there was only 2'' spread! I is very accurate! I love my DEFENDER!
...you wrote about if i were gonna shoot bear..(stryker)......whould like to know if the defender has what it takes to take down big game....lets say at 40-50 yards...????...i still not shot a crossbow yet....i will be picking one up in the next week or two....
