We got one in about a week or so ago and it shoots relly well. The poundage can be adjusted to fit a broader range of shooters and as mentioned it has a flange on the fore grip to keep fingers below the string line. Its quiet, easy to operate and plenty fast. For the shooters in that market, they should move fast.

I dont really get the poundage adjustment that much. But if I were in the xbow market I would really be lookin at it. Like I said im glad someone put some more thought into keeping folks fingers away from the rail. I wonder if it has as good of a trigger as the Stryker 380 does? And I may have missed it when I read. I wonder if it is equipped with an anti dry fire device???

For as many people who bash crossbows, there are just as many, if not more that enjoy them. And with it being released under the mission line, doesnt that mean all the profits from this go towards supporting missionaries worldwide anyways? I dont see a problem here.
Maybe I'm biased because I started out with a crossbow and went to a vertical bow, but Im all for having more archers, Vertical or Xbows.

i sure by now most of you have looked the new crossbow up but i thought i might add some pics of the one we received in the shop last week. We usually don't carry crossbows but we do order some in prior to season. I have nothing against crossbow shooters as long as they are using them for the proper reason (handicap,shoulder issues, wounded veteran, ect ) but i cant stand young adults my age coming in the shop who are in 100% fine health asking for the cheapest crossbow we have for sale so they can bow hunt and add another month to there season. This issue is getting way to common for my liking. Just my two cents....sorry here are the pics

Hate to admit it...

Stuff started going south at 40. I plan to shoot a compound as long as I can do it and be a realistic shot. People don't understand that it's not just your shoulder that fails, but simple things like fingers, and wrists, and elbows, and things that help you to hold still - oh, and eyes.
When I don't feel that I can be fair to the deer any longer I'll get me a crossbow. Might as well be a good one.
