Stalker Bows - Testimonials

I've been hunting with a bow for 54 seasons/years. In that time I've found "A few" bows that I thought were a new standard,,,,,,I went to those bows as my new hunting partner. Mind you, most bows that I have shot have been ok bows, some of my favorite are the old Howatts, Wings and Bears, I still enjoy shooting them but, these bows have long been replaced as my hunting partner. The bow I have been shooting up to now has served me well the past 12 or more years and quite frankly I didn't think I would ever find another bow that would shoot as well, for sure not better.

I have one think to tell you about the Stalker Striker bow that you sent me to try. This will be my new hunting partner, you won't get it back. I have been very pleased with the speed of the bow, it's definitely quicker than anything I have shot to date. The impressive thing was, the extra speed did not show up in the performance, in regard to smoothness and hand shock. There is no hand shock, which makes the bow completely forgiving. The smoothness of draw is commented on by all that have shot it but, the first thing out of everyone's mouth is "how in creditably quite" it shoots. My personal favorite features is, the way it fit's my hand. It is without question the most comfortable feeling bow in my shooting hand that I have ever shot.

I thank you for the opportunity to try your bow. It has become my new hunting partner.

Bowhunting for me began 33 years ago -- wielding a recurve bow. My first game was taken with recurve. Some of my most notable archery trophies have come by way of a trusty traditional bow. Through the years I've had the opportunity to handle a huge variety of single-string models, from the cheapest pawn-shop beaters to the most expensive carbon/foam-limbed target bows available. I can honestly say my Stalker shoots right up there with the smoothest, most forgiving recurves I've ever shot.

It's also remarkably fast.

I received my Stalker in the middle of hunting season. Understandably, I wanted to play with my new toy, but quickly found I would have to bump arrow weight 100 grains to maintain the sight picture and trajectory I'd become accustomed to with the custom recurve preceding it.

Within days I'd stalk and shoot a fall turkey with my Stalker, harbinger of good things to come. Later that fall I received complete pass-throughs on an 800-pound brown bear; hit a string-jumping Idaho doe in the hind quarter, driving to her opposite shoulder; blasted through the shoulder blade of a quartering-to Nebraska buck, the arrow exiting behind the last rib on the opposite flank, dropping to the ground.

a accomplished all of this while pulling only 54 pounds to 30 inches...

Finally, I've never owned a bow more beautiful. It's a bow that inspires pride, stands out in a crowd.

I I own a lot of recurve bows. My Stalker is now my number-one.
