RE: Stryker Crossbow
I have searched and searched but came up empty with any results. Typically a company will tease you a little with a pre-release feature on their site, but nothing? Also,November 1st is a horrible time to realease a new piece of equipment to hunters. Usually everyone has purchased all their gear by then. If anyone can find a picture of this crossbow or some reading material please post it, I am very interested in seeing what has to offer.

RE: Stryker Crossbow
EEEUUUUWWWW!! There's a big black spider on the left limb!! I'm stickin w/ what I know works! Wish I knew the reverse formula so I could figure the arrow weight at 405 fps and 122 fl lbs k.e. Any math wizards wanna figure it? Maybe I can get it by keeping at it on the k.e. site, if so, I'll post it.
Edit: That was easy, but scary!! The ballistic calculator says a 405 fps arrow w/ 122 fl lbs k.e. weighs 335 gr!! Having disinegrated a Barnett Quad 400 w/ 350 gr arrows, I think sum ting wong!
Edit 2: I see another forum has the k.e. at 155 ft lbs. that means a 425 gr arrow. Don't know which is correct, either one sounds like a sure arrow loss to me. Guess we'll have to wait and see.

RE: Stryker Crossbow
Hmmmmmmmmm wonder if you can set it on stun???
And people think my Ultra Tech looks star warish! Me thinks the darkness give the wrong impression. The ad is rather sinister and kinda might probably appeal to poachers. I kinda think this ad is in left field and gives a wrong impression. I think I will send an email to protest the absolutely wrong impression it may give. What do you guys think?
