Can it get any better?
Just got my Desert Stryker replacement last Friday. You know for the cracked limbs on the first one I got. Well today I get an email. Seems they're going to notify all registered owners send them back to get a complete trigger swap out. What you didn't register yours? It was in the owners manual and other papers in the box. What you didn't get any papers in your box? Neither did I on both DS xbows I've had the pleasure of opening up.
Reason was they put Teflon on a part as a fix to cure the hard pull some were complaining about. The Teflon falls off and then it's back to hard pull. Now that the limb issues were posted some have come forth with misfiring and no-firings and having to click the safety off and on to get it to fire. Not sure if this is the Teflon falling off related or another separate issue. Regardless when I talked to them they were waiting on trigger parts and zero were going out till the new parts came in. Not a word that it was going to be a BIG trigger issue in the works or any danger with misfiring and the such when I talked to them. Again to me it seems less than honest service to the customer.
I'm glad I saved the box this time. I'm a slow learner but I'm starting to get it now.

RE: Can it get any better?
I can honestly say I know how you feel. The guys on here will vouch for me. I was the first one to buy the new Horton Legacy recurve, and against teh adviceof everyone on here. Nothing but trouble and just like you when I bought I didnt even get a box-no paperwork-instructions-Nothing but the bow and a bunch of trouble. Luckily I had dealt with Basspro shop in Mmephis Tn and I asked them if I could just bring it back. I had been dealing with Horton but I just took it back and life got a lot better. I got my new pheonix and have not ahd any trouble so far. Hate to see someone else go through something like this but it takes people like us to try this new stuff out or something better would never come along. Sell it-Trade it-Get a Pheonix
