To the best of my knowledge there is no domestic dealer for them. A beautiful crossbow design with limb problems. I tried but there comes a time when banging your head up against a wall.............hurts.

The only thing I claim to be an expert at is weeding out BS and there is a litany of that on this thread, The last one being your post. Ten Point also has models that the string does not touch the deck, just for your info. You pick your experts and I'll pick mine. What you may deem an issue is not necessarily an issue, as in this case.

Oh, BTW, I have a Ventilator coming that was NOT given to me. Call Wyvern if you want to verify that. I do see what's going on here. Some of those guys whining about my posts I see. That's unfortunate. Aren't politics wonderful? Too bad.

UL, what you posted would hold some water if all I owned or shot was one crossbow. But as you can see..............
I rarely post about crossbows I don't like, as some others have done here repeatedly but if I had known my posts bothered you, well I can handle that too.

So there you go:-) One man's turd is another's jewel. The 350 shooting STRYKER Arrows only shot 341 through my Ohler. Best I can get it to group out of the box with STRYKER Arrows is 1.25"-1.5" at 20 from a bench indoors
Mine will group those lowly little GT Laser II's in a 3 inch circle at 80 yards on a calm day.
The trigger is light, maybe too light for a hunting crossbow. I love it:-)especially for hunting. The SAFETY is POOR and is very FRAIL. It's not positive. Doesn't "FEEL" safe. The Cease Fire thing is like a joke. A safety that needs a safety? Who is actually going to use it and how long before it gets lost in true hunting situations?
The safety and claw lock out is one of the best features of the crossbow, IMO.
There is a lot of CAM lean and limb twist when cocked. The cam lean is by design. I have a 380 and 2 350's and all 3 are identical. When cocked, the string is not sitting on the rail and when you load an arrow you can watch the arrow lift off the rail. More than likely due to the CAM lean and limb twist. Nothing guides the string or keeps it down during firing. I do realize it is a caliber style release but no reason for it to be off the rail. It might as well be a trackless crossbow.
All 3 of my SZ's have the string slightly off the deck when cocked. It does not lift the arrow off the deck on any of the 3. I'm shooting aluminum moon nocks and have yet to see a hint of a problem.
Doesn’t fit me well. The LOP (Length of Pull) is 15"! Not a rifle or shotgun that I know of off the shelf that is that long. Guess it has to be that long seeing I can’t even get the correct eye relief needed with the Hawke 3X I have pushed all the way forward. Still have to back my head away and barely catch the comb.
You have a point there. That long power stroke got priority over LOP.
Stirrup is not wide enough to fully except what I would call a hunting boot.
Fits my winter boots perfectly :-)
Can’t cock it by hand really, but I knew that when I bought it.
Cock it by hand?????? Wow!
I want to really like this crossbow for some reason. It is quiet, it is narrow and the trigger is a pleasure to shoot off a bench. I am still cautious as whether or not all the "issues" have been resolved.
I'm approaching 800 shots on my old 350 and the string, cables and serving have not been touched. No serving separations aqnd the cam marks have not budged.
Like I said, I am trying and this is my experience and my opinion!
Why try? Get one that fits you :-)
