I just purchased the tornado on friday it only took 5 arrows to get dialed in at 20 yards I went out yesterday and sighted in all the way up to 60 yards this bow is a bad mabajamba,i already own the parker enforcer but handed it down to my son. I did alot of research and my heart kept telling me to stay with parker!!! I am very impressed with this bow I have shot about 80 arrows since friday and no problems for all of the doubters out there. If you are looking for a fast,light,and great all around bow i would recommend the tornado,thanks parker for another great product

thanks briarpatch,i,m using the redhot arrows i,m still trying to decide if i want to stick with the rage broadheads i do love them they have never failed me yet,i,m a little concerned that they may open up now that my new bow shoots faster than the old one! i heard that g-5 is making a crossbow broadhead and i know that rage also makes one any sugestions?

I love it when people ask me about broadheads.....after a while...you'll know me as the Grim Reaper salesman....I love them....field point flight....great penetration....blood trails that'll make a shark try to walk on land.....I use the Xbow model Razortip in 100 grain.....absolutely devastating!!!

Now for the sales pitch...(this gets 'em every time)...try them....if you don't like them, I'll buy the unused heads from you....haven't had to buy any yet!!!!!

I have just read your post. When we took our trip trough Virginia, we stopped at bass pro. There i had one in my hands, it looked and felt great. I am saving for it now. I stick with Parker too.

I and my  hunting buddy both use Rage 2 blade 125gr. These heads are fantastic complete pass throughs and massive blood trails. Of course we wait for the best broadside shot we can get within our comfort range. Oh by the way we both have Tornados and no problems. Hope this helps.

Hi BBD  Congrats on your new xbow.

I have a question regarding the Tornado. I just went on a NEPA tour shooting just about every xbow that is currently produced. By my count I only have to shoot 3 more bows with my buddies this week. The Tornado we shot had a trigger that had side to side movement, long travel and, was a flat trigger.  I read posts on this bow and they were very favorable on the trigger.  Is the trigger on your bow like described above? or did we shoot a bum one?  Other than that the bow we shot was quiter than several other models we shot.
