what are you wanting to know?
does it launch bolts? yep.
is it accurate? as long as the person pulling the trigger is.
is it heavy? you betcha. you better get your significant other a tripod.
it is bulky? yep.
is it loud? its a crossbow.
does it have a cocking mechanism? yep.
if this is for your wife i would get something much smaller and lighter like the horton recon 175. its more compact and in my opinion more woman friendly. now don't get me wrong this is by no means a womans crossbow but def. more friendly then the bowtech. for the price they are running in about the same neighborhood maybe a lil cheaper.
good luck. -
the stryker is by far the best in its class, a 5 year old could turn the crank and cock it, its NOT that heavy, launches bolts at 400+fps and is VERY accurate, the noise is moderate but it dosent have the rattle of most cheaper crossbows like the Hortons or Barnetts its more of a pop. The only downside to the stryker is price @1750$ +/- its not for everyone.
I used to do alot of work for Gov Perry and he got a Desert Stryker for his Kids, same basic design as the stryker but downsized in every department including Price.
If i had to reccomend a crossbow to anyone it would be a Stryker seriesComment

I have a Barnett Quad 400, paid less than 400 for it, it is extremely accurate (I was really suprised hittinng 4" groups at 60 yds) , it is not as heavy as other I have held, but it is LOUD!, Of course I dont have any type of silencer system on it. My 2 cents, and probably an easier way to work into the sport by about 1600 lessComment
