i don't know about the striker, but i do have a phantom and i love it! good luck with whatever you end up with! phil

Thanks I need luck. I said stryker but was mainly looking at the dersert stryker vs. phantom cls. I think I would like to be able to cock the xbow with out a crank. Are the cranks noisy?

The AccuDraw system on the Phantom is pretty good You can use an electric screwdriver if you want.I have no experience withthe chain crank system on the Stryker
The Ten Point AcuDraw 50 is a great rope assist system I really like it and wouldn't be without it. The rope cocking assist for the DS is a real pain in the arse. Itis two seperate pieces of rope that loop on seperate studs in the stock, Not at all handy!

The crank on the Full sized Stryker is silent. You can also use an electric screw driver to cock it but you need the 18 volt driver. I shoot the bulls eye at 20, 40 and 60. I hear people say not to shoot further than XYZ but gotta say that if one is within 60 yards it'll be freezer meat. I have no doubt the arrow will pass through at 60 yards. The only drawback is the overall weight. But I traded that for other advantages. I was also worried because my bow would not fit in the case with the scope mounted and had fear I'd have to sight it in each time I took it out. Now I've learned that I put the scope on and hit the center every time. Didn't turn out to be a problem. Oh, I've also found I don't fully lock the case because the Stryker will not completely fit inside the case.

I had problems with the company because I was one of the first to buy one. The company just wasn't quite ready for the initial demand. It gives me confidence now.
