Stalker Stickbows makes the prettiest bows I've seen. He does a great job book matching veneers and finding the best looking woods. His bows shoot phenomenal too. Can't say enough good things about my stalker recuves. Great grip, quiet, fast, smooth and dead accurate.

I am not sure that you are comparing apples to apples.  Striker bows are very light and have very small risers in length and diameter.  Stalker use more of a traditional size riser (thicker and heavier).

I personally like the striker fastback.  I would love to get my hands on a stalker coyote with longbow limbs.  I don't think you could go wrong with either one.

I haven't tried a Stalker but I'm very satisfied with my Striker Fastback. You will never see it in the classified page.

I have a Stalker longbow. It is a takedown and has a recurve style handle with longbow limbs. It is a fine bow, and as said above, South builds some beautiful bows!

I own a one piece hybrid longbow and a 3 piece recurve, both strikers. I love them both and would recommend either. Rick and his boys make some quality bows in my opinion.

I've owned both.  I can't say anything bad about a Stalker, but I'd take the Striker every day of the week myself.

I am shooting a Coyote SL and absolutely love it. South is top notch to deal with also.

Tim I am sure you will love your bow! I am hoping to put my pack to good use in a few weeks when spring bear opens up here in Idaho.

I like the striker classic. It's a light bow and handles well and is a joy to shoot. Plus it's very quiet.

I have a Striker STDL that shoots fantastic.  I have shot the Stalker Jackyl and it was fantastic as well.
