Went to the new Cabelas today in Delaware and came home with a Parker Tornado F4 Crossbow. I have never shot a crossbow before. It was nice that they had a range there so I could try out a few. I was originally set on getting a Tenpoint. I talked to reps from Excalibur and Parker. I test fired a Excalibur, Tenpoint and a Parker.
The Tenpoint I didn't like how it felt when I shoulder it. It felt front heavy. The scope was ok. Cocking it was easy.
Next I tried the Excalibur. It felt great when I shouldered it. It was very comfortable and was well balanced. The scope was nice. It was illuminated. It illuminated red and green. I didn't like the draw weight. I have bursitis in my shoulder and have problems with my elbow on the same arm as well as lower back problems. Cocking it was a little difficult.
Next I tried the Parker. The scope was nice. It also was red and green illuminated. Cocking it was easy. It felt great when I shouldered it. It was also very well balanced. It came with 10 bolts, practice tips, broadheads, soft case, sling, hat, scope, quiver, pull rope, string wax and rail lube. Here are some pics.
The circles in the scope illuminate red and green.
