My thoughts on Fury, Tornado F4, and TP Carbon Elite

Went to my local archery shop today and to my surprise they have some new 2012 bows (BPS didn't!).

I did not shoot any of these bows so my thoughts are only of fit & feel.

I'll start with the Fury:
I hated it. IMO the Vision feels SO much better to shoulder and aim, and the overall quality of the Vision seems better to me.
In no way does the Fury come close to feeling as good as the Ventilator. You may as well get a non-RDT bow because the Fury feels just as front heavy as a standard xbow. The Vision balances well tho so I'm assuming the Havoc will (they didn't have the Havoc).

Tornado F4:
Was disappointed it's still front heavy, but I think I could over look it for this bow. It's super compact and the stock feels great. Feels very narrow and it just feels like a good quality bow. However it's still front heavy but not excessive. Pretty much like normal. So I would prolly take a TF4 over the Fury.

Carbon Elite:
This is the first Ten Point I've ever liked. Doesn't balance near as well as the Ventilator, but it's the best feeling TP bow I've shouldered by far. And of course there's no arguing Ten Point quality.

Again these thoughts are without shooting. Shooting could change everything AND fit & feel is a very individual thing. You should definitely decide for yourself. I am in NO WAY an expert.

Buck_Slayer,

Thanks for the review. I like this kind of stuff. I'm like you I thought the Parker x-bow was on of the best feeling bows ergonomically than any I have shouldered.
One thing I will say though, even though the Parker Tornado F4 feels a little front heavy to you (I think due to that fact your used to shooting a reverse limb bow which usually is more balanced than a regular limb) that the Tornado F4 is not even close to being as front heavy as most x-bows. It really isn't that bad at all, but that of course was my personal impression of the bow.

It's too bad you didn't get a chance to shoot the Parker. It seems to have a pretty decent trigger, of which I was surprised. The one thing about the Fury is it had one of the best triggers I have ever shot on a x-bow so far. It had virtually no creep or travel at all. Everything else about it I wasn't all that impressed with.

Thanks again for the post.

I would if I thought I might buy one. I don't want to waste the owner's time when I know I'm not buying one. This review was strictly a fit & feel review. Actually it's not really a review at all, just my thoughts. Maybe I should have put this in a different room.

Buck_Slayer,

I don't think there is anything wrong with testing as many bows as you can to really know the differences. Besides the dealers know the down side to allowing these bows to be shot for free and the upside as well. Don't feel guilty.

You know I suppose you do have a point. I may not be buying one that day, but I might later. Or something else if I'm treated right. :)

I'm sure the owner would be more than willing. I may go back in a few weeks and shoot the Parker and the TP.
