Got a call last weekend from my cousin to come see his new top-of-the-line Parker crossbow. I threw my crossbow in he truck and left to see a Parker Cyclone. A Cyclone which turned out to be a Safari Magnum[:@](still a very nice crossbow)

We later went to shoot at a local range and there was a guy I went to high school with and hadn't seen for 20yrs. He was a jerk then, but I figured we had all matured. I was WRONG. After 20 minutes of telling everyone else what was wrong with their crossbow and why his Desert Stryker was better, he finally stepped up to the line.

After he cocked his bow he made a full turn and pointed the thing at some people in back drinking coffee. While everybody was gettig on him I said "you might want to take your finger off the trigger, too". To which he told me to "shut the @#$% up he already had a mother".

Now, I was watching him like a hawk and he canted the bow to the left reached over the top with his left hand(I think to take the safety off) and when he did he pulled the trigger and sent the arrow across 3 lanes, through a sheet rock dividing wall, and bounced off the cinder block back wall. Then, even though at least 3 of us had seen him pull the trigger and some of the other people shot 12-15 arrows through the DS without incident, he had the gall to balme it on his safety. Which may have held water if he hadn't done almost the same thing the next time he went to the line(at least that one went down his lane and stuck in the sheet rock).

Some people don't seem to understand that it's not a toy just because it doesn't go "bang". We were very fortunate nobody was hurt.
