Thanks, I had checked early this morning and it was not updated and now it is!! COOL.
The F4 is 1" narrower than last year model and 10fps faster as well!!

HI' NO problem   IT'S pretty amazing how just a few tweak's here and there can make guy's like us foam at the mouth!! Look's like they changed cam's, narrowed the width, added a different riser and limb's noticed the overall length is a inch longer and power stroke is a little longer.I wonder if it has the soft touch finish?? Also they include string suppressor's!! Should be fun to shoot!!

Thanks, checked earlier today. Going now....

UPDATE; Nice looking bows. Man I would to have one of those new four arrow quivers. There was no Kinetic energy numbers posted, just speed. Nice though, maybe they have not had time .....

Depending on how old your Parker is...you can buy 5-arrow quivers from Alpine Archery that have the same mount as the 3-arrow quiver.  I have one on a 2009 Tornado.  Kinetic energy can be calculated if you know the speed and the mass. Here's a link to a kinetic energy calculator for archery equipment:

My 2010 Tornado shot 335 with a 400 grain arrow when it was new.  I never check it after I installed the string stoppers, but it seemed to be the same speed.  Love my Tornado.  I will be looking for one to get my son, since there is a new version.  They will probably have the old models marked down.  

I really like the new Challenger youth crossbow though.  I will have to think about this one for a while.

I have been told the new tornado trigger pull is a Lot easier at 4.5lbs or less compared to the old 6.5lbs + pull.

Hey guys, all the speeds posted are with the use of a Parker hunter arrow with a 100 grain point, (400 grains total) so if you are interested in KE, take weight X speed X speed / 450240.

The Challenger youth X-bow is shipped at 125lbs and will shoot the 275 posted speed like that. However it has limb wedges that you can remove with out a press, take the bow down to 150lbs and will shoot 300FPS!!!

The new 4 arrow quiver is now produced by Parker and is no longer a Bohning quiver. All X-bows will come with 4 Parker hunter arrows and 100 match grade field points.

Any of the Premium multi reticle scopes can now be used with the "redhotadc" app from the i-tunes store on your i phone that will let you pop in your speed and reticle. Then it will tell you where each yardage mark comes in. If you down load it from www.parkerbows.com you can then print it out, pop it on your stock or under your scope cap. With the I-phone app, you can point the phone down to where your shots will be and it will tell you the correct aiming point on your phone for angle compensation! Get the app and play with it, it is awsome.

The Conchord, Gail Force, Tornado F-4, and Hornet all come with string suppressors installed.

And of course 100% Made in the USA and life time warranty from the best customer service in the business!
