Bowtech Stryker 350 & 380

Post by flightattendant100 »

I was at Cabela's yesterday and they have racks full of Bowtech 350 & 380 bows in the bargain cave, with scope , quiver, arrows for under $ 400.00 ! I know its a "Wheelie", and I know that at one point they had some trouble with the limbs, but supposed to have that corrected. Sure seems like a lot of bow for that amount of money. Just curious if anyone has had one of these or just a heads up if you were looking for one.

I too have thought about one of these refurb 350's. I know it's no excalibur and it has wheels but does anyone have experience with one? Good or bad?

The stryker 350 was the more reliable of the two. However, since I've come over to the cool side of crossbows :lol: :lol:

I cringe at the thought of dealing with timing, cables, cam rotation and servings pulling apart ..

Every time I start to show a little interest in buying another compound crossbow, I look over at my Excaliburs and smile.

I smile because I no longer need my $450.00 bow press to adjust cam timing, I no longer need my bow press to change out my string or cables

When I'm up in the tree hunting all day and it is time to leave, I smile at my Excalibur because I know I can let the bow down without an issue with my rope cocker and not have to shoot a discharge arrow into something to let my bow down.

I smile while sitting on stand and if I cut my string somehow, I can pull my string changer out of my day pack and put on a pre-shot string, twist it to the predetermined line on my rail and be GTG.
