On Nov. 10, 2009 I harvested this nice 8 pt buck at 6:45 am with my Parker Tornado crossbow on a low fence ranch, Blanco County, Texas. Distance 41 yards (rangefinder) The buck has a 17 3/4" spread and 10 inch tines and weighed 127 lbs. This is my first year I ever hunted with a crossbow, and it was my 2nd shot at a buck. The 1st one was a mickey mouse compared to this one. I undershot that buck at over 50 yards.

I bought my Tornado crossbow at Cabela's in Buda, TX. The knowledgeable staff did an outstanding job to instruct me how to handle and shoot the crossbow successfully.

Thanks Parker for building such an awesome crossbow "The Tornado"! It is powerful and shoots accurate.

All the best,
