Stalker or Robertson Fatal Styk????

[String Cutter]

Over the past few monthes I have test driven each and can't decide on which one?? It's driving me nutts!!!! I really like the looks and feel of the Robertson. And Really fell in love with the grip of the Stalker Surge..Both shot about the same for me .. Maybe the Stalker I enjoyed shooting alittle more ?? But it was also 10# lighter.
  Also the Stalker is about $500 less... But the Robertson will hold it's resale value much better for years to come...( The Bowaholic in me!!)
Which one would you pick?

It is very difficult make a decision between 2 excellent bows.I never owned a Stalker,but I would;I own several Robrtsons and they are been my to go bows for long time.I like them for elk hunting since they are light, accurate and fast.

A Robertson is real hard to beat. Love mine.

[PA-Spot]

Love my Robertsons also. Bet if you ordered a bow from Robertson. Dick or Yote could make you what ever type grip you want. Probely would just need a detailed picture.

Different limbs designs.Robertson has a wide limb w/ lots of preset.Stalker has a narrow limb w/ a reenforced core(like a widow).I may faver the Robertson because of it's lighter mass weight but I like the Stalker's limb design.SOOOOO????????//I think both will TEST DRIVE?

40 yrds group with my Fatal Styk.

This is a 2000 Vision Falcon XP with Pierce Points.I owned 12 Robertson recurves amd most of them had a little different grip one from the other.

[cacciatore]

Not my best kill with a Robertson,but it was a small target.

This is another beautiful Pierce Points bow:the Gyrfalcon

This Bear was taken with my 15 year old to go bow.They are really tough bows,this one has survived  many expeditions in the Rocky Mountain.

Overbo, What do you mean that the Stalker is like the BW limbs?? Widder limbs seem to be pretty wide to me... Can you please go into further detail?? I'm not following?

[Steve Clandinin]

Don't listen to Felix! It'll cost you twice as much ,He'll have two of each!LOL.Only you and you alone can make that decision.( I think I would get both,SEE I 've been listening to Felix!)

Test drive one of South's bows. He offers a 2 week free try. I have never shot a Robertson, so I am a bit partial. I love my Stalker...it is the only recurve I own. I just killed 2 coyotes over the weekend and it performed perfectly  

[PEARL DRUMS]

Robertson narrowed the last 25% of their limbs. So the width is not what is once was. I have never shot a Stalker....Robertson has my vote as well. If resale is important to you then a Robertson is probably an obvious choice. I just got mine from Carpenter and cant put it down. 62", 51# @ 28". Awesome bow now that I got it quieted down some and got used to the 3/16" beyond center cut.

[cacciatore]

I have not the gut to sel, my bows.But I immagine that the resale value is sometime determinated by how much people is talking about a certain bow in a certain period.More reviews you have on a bow more people is looking for it.

[cacciatore]

By the way,our good friend Steve is starting to have a heck of a collection.

[R. W. Mackey]

Never shot a stalker, although they look like a very nice bow.  I do own two Robertsons, a 1-piece and a take down, both are great shooters.  this may or may not mean anything to you, but Dick Robertson has been making bows for a very long time.  There aren't many around that have been in business as long as him, he must be doing something right.  RW

Dude this is so easy. You answered your own question in your post...get both.  

[wapiti792]

 

Felix posted a pic of his beauty of bow, so to be politically correct I will do the same    The problem is my amigo Felix has killed some critters on several different continents with his and other than a mangy coyote, My Stalker is an ungulate virgin  

[cacciatore]

Michael,I wish you a lot of pics with your bow and many different nice buck from your Illinois.
Good luck my friend,keep us posted.
