I traded for a Parker Cyclone crossbow last week. Just warmed up enough to shoot it today. Very smooth and accurate. Trigger is a little heavier than I like. I have a Barnett C5 that I have enjoyed shooting also, but now I know what you get for the extra money spent on a Parker. Smoother, less recoil and vibration. Both shoot great, the Barnett has a better trigger.
I have a question for the other Parker owners, does the string stop help reduce noise or help accuracy? Mine doesn't have it but on the website it is available for my crossbow.
Guess this post is a little long winded, sorry.
