Parker Cyclone crossbow opinions?
« on: August 12, 2008, 11:45:39 AM »
My Dad wants to buy a new crossbow and is rather intrigued by the new Parker Cyclone. He likes the adjustable M16 carbine style butt stock . Needless to say, he asked if I could get some information on the net as to opinions on this crossbow. I did some research and heard both good and bad. I also heard some horror stories as well.

Thank you for any replies.

I have a 150# terminator and I love it. I shoots muzzy 100 gain 3 blade broadheads very well. I see no need to shoot any more poundage than 150. Complete pass threw on a doe at 12 yds and 8 point at 10 yds hit high in back. When crawling for 10 yds and was done. Service from Parker is excelant if you have a problem.Highly recomend.

i don't own one so this is from others i know that do. the blk models seemed to have problems with their strings breaking while being shot. that in turn was like a dryfire and ruined the CB. lots of warranty work by Parker. the camo one is very touchy about arrow weight and good moon noks on rear or they tend to have dryfire effect. hurricane is same as cyclone non adjustable stock. i am sure Parker will get the bugs worked out, the 2 screws you use on stock adjustments are not doing their job. loctite to the recue ? not if you want to adjust your stock. the good Parker CB's safari-terminator-BuskBuster
