The Stryker Crossbow, just introduced by BowTech in November of 2006, rocked the archery world with its impressive performance qualities and futuristic appearance. Now, with all the pride of a big brother, Stryker is introducing a remarkable little brother, the Desert Stryker.

The Desert Stryker represents a combination of explosive speed and graceful motion in a tight little package that measures 18 1/4″ axle-to-axle with a lean mass weight of just 8.6 lbs. Extreme Horizontal Force Technology, a Desert Stryker engineering exclusive featuring increased limb angle to deliver more arrow speed, throttles 425 grain bolts at an amazing 350 fps (116 ft/lbs kinetic energy).

Even with all this power, Desert Stryker is as covert as they come, hidden behind sound, shock, and vibration dampening WhisperTech technology. Center Pivot engineering attaches the riser near the center of the limbs, so the limb tips move less mass weight and distance. This creates minimal overall limb movement and the result is refined stability unlike anything experienced before.

And remember the Binary Cam System? On Desert Stryker, the binary cam arrangement resists being pulled off center when cocked and self-centers in the string hook. The added value of a Teflon-coated string hook reduces wear to provide long-term string durability.

“We’re filling a gap in the crossbow market by adding a product that’s affordably priced, but with all the features you’d expect from a high-end crossbow,” stated John Strasheim, President and CEO of BowTech. “It’s another option for the serious, value-minded sportsman and it’s just in time for the 2007 season.”

The Desert Stryker is equipped with many of the same components of its big brother: stock, adjustable fore grip, needle roller bearings, Weaver rail, patent pending Bolt Sensor Safety System, and much more. The Desert Stryker is available with an optional accessory package that includes: multiple reticle red-dot 1×30 scope; four 425-grain matched bolts; padded, detachable sling; four-arrow quick release quiver, and quiver hip holster.

MSRP for the Desert Stryker is set at $999 ($1,099 with the accessory package), making it a value-priced, high-end performance crossbow that delivers a big bang for the buck (or bear, or moose, etc.). Effortless loading is made possible with the optional EZ2Draw cocking aid that reduces pull effort by fifty percent.
