Parker Concorde???
Was at the Va. Sportsman show this weekend and got to looking at the Parker Concorde xbow. It looks good and I guess I could get real serious about getting one. The only negs I could see was the weight. It does seem to be a bit too heavy for a xbow.
My question is has anyone taken to plunge and got one and if so how do you like it???
Thanks.

Is it as heavy as the Concorde? I did notice that the Concorde is very heavy. Someone has stated that it is over 14 lbs. I like the idea, but if it is too heavy it may not be worth it. I may just hold on to my Ten Point.

My 10 point was 24 years old and the limb cracked so I was down to the local archery shop and shot a few xbows. I tried the concord talk about long heavy and award did not like it much bought a Tornado and am very happy with it but have only had it a couple of weeks been out shooting it 4 times, so far am happy.

Oh well I think I will stay with the Ten Point, it serves me well.

Well my suggestion is shoot it some if you like why go for it that CO2 ****ing system is pretty slick. I hunt my own land and while some of my stands are snug I stand well over 6 feet and pull the 200 pound Exocet with one foot in the stirrup and the rope set up while setting in the stand, but I am 74 and am concerned about a few year down the line which is why I was looking at them.

Hope you have as good of luck with your Parker.

I looked they are still to heavy and so over priced compared to the competition I started looking at the ones with lifetime guarantees, I still have the ten point it being repaired. The Ten point has a good ****ing mechanism for when I get older and need it the Exocet is the most accurate but the new Tornado is still being tuned and is very handy in close spaces. I like them all each has its advantages and if a person chooses the right one for the circumstances it makes a difference.
