Default RE: Parker Xbow

Thanks for the replys on Parker Xbows. The Buck Buster came in and got it put together. Don't especially like the scope on it though. It's made by Truglo and the crosshairs are rather fine on it. Also the rear scope ring let go on the eighth shot so I'll have to get another set of rings before she shoots it again. Anyhow here's the skinny on it:

First shot out to 10 yards was about 8" low. She shot a second bolt to see how it grouped and almost destroyed the nock on the first bolt. Had to tell her not to shoot at the same spot unless she wants to buy more bolts. Adjusted the scope and moved target to 20 yards. Up until the rear scope ring let go she was cutting thecenters on the target dead center. Seems to shoot real well and pretty fast also. Also seems to be pretty quite except for a distinctive metallic "tink" when shooting it. Probably from the bolt clip as the bolt clears it. Might try to put a piece of sims material on the clip to see if that will take care of it. Bow should work really well out of the ground blind with the short limbs also. I weighed the bolts that came with it and the four of them only had a deviation of less than 1 gr between them, thats pretty good. Was told by the Parker people that they are actually Beeman Thunderbolts with the Parker name on them. Got to say I'm rather impressed by this little bow so far. One question I have though, do you wax the serving on the string? Seems to me if you did it would put wax on the rail which would be a no-no according to the manual. I can see waxing the string but not sure on the serving. Thanks again.
