I've got one. it is called the stryker. 400 fps. After shooting mine about 5 shots at the house it is being sent back to bt to be replaced for a couple of problems. Don't know if I'm gonna stick with it or not.

Lee,
Even though you only got to shoot it a few times, how did you like it. Was the crank worth the hassle?

Lee,

I shot it probably 10 times at the pro shop and then maybe 5-6 shots at home. The riser wasn't machined correctly and the cables were wearing on the riser when the bow was being cocked and shot. The crank is the main reason I went with it because I'm having some troubles with my hands and it makes it easy for me to cock. I really do like the fit of it but the position of the safety is a bit akward.
I still haven't heard just what bowtech is going to do(either repair or replace my xbow) but I'm gonna need to hear something soon because bow season is not far away. I called an excalibur dealer last week and he said he could set me up an excalibur with the 10pt accudraw system on it. So there are a few different options out there thankfully.

I shot one many times. The crank is good. As for the rest of it...the crank is good.
When you build speed, you build problems. When you shoot speed, you accentuate problems.
Just as it is with a compound. If speed is your desire, I have a 243 with a bull barrel that smokes.
