Wyvern, is the new Strykeforce comparible to the Phantom?, what are the main differences besides speed?

Not "really". It is quieter and faster, but ergonomicaly the Phantom is nicer andit is a much more complete package and all the accessories you could ask for are integrated onto the bow. The StrykeForce is more of a bare bones performance machine and there is a bit more creativity needed to make accessories work with it (quiver and such). Both are great bows but they "feel" very diferant and I would recomend you shoulder both and see which one fits you best. The one you are more comfortable wiht you will shoot better with and that is more important than the speed...

thanks, i have shot the phantom but need to shoot the strykeforce, really dont think the speed is all that important over 320 but speed sells over alot of things these days in archery

I personaly find they shoulder quite diferantly. I really like the SF but that is personal preferance. Also look at the Shadow. It is basicly a 10lb lighter Phantom and not quite as "pretty" but it is alot less money and if you dont need all the extras it is a nice option...

Actually it is more like a ProSlider on steroids I personaly think that is gonna be a good bow for them The pricing is better than the other CLS, it comes with their good scope, and it is alot lighter. If it shoots well I think it is going to be pretty popular...

That is really personal preferance. I found it quite comfortable though a tad short lenght of pull for my tastes. One of the reason I like the SF is the comparitively longer LOP. It is a comfort thing, and I cant stress enough that if you arent comfortable with the bow you will not be happy/accurate with it. I sell more by comfort than performace generaly, they all will drop a deer...
