The rest of the story(so far anyway... it ain't over yet) Got my CB back from Parker today, or should I say got a different CB back than I sent in to get repaired. They did the same thing they did to me as they did to 1deadturkey and others they sent me back a buck buster. I had spoke with Parker on the phone on several occasions to make sure the Terminator would be repaired and returned and I would not be sent the buck buster, I had even offered to pay extra money for a newer model if they could not fix the terminator, they assured me the Terminator would be repaired and returned to me. At this point I am refusing to accept the buck buster as a replacement for the terminator.(something you should have done 1deadturkey) I owned a buck buster and sold it to get a terminator, the person who bought the buck buster has experienced problems with it also. Beside the ergonomics being completely different, I find the buck buster to be a lesser quality CB than the terminator.( It was kind of like sending my pickup in for repair and getting back a passenger car) the parts on the buck buster are not the same quality that were on the terminator, they appear to be cheaper import parts. I know almost all CB manufactures in the US import parts( I think Carbon Express is the only 100% USA make) but some are much better quality than others. We pay very high prices for these crossbows(heck you can by a good rifle cheaper! that will perform and last 3 lifetimes) and we deserve and should demand quality parts on them. Right now, I hate to say it, but the cheap import CB's($200.00) seem to shooting longer with less problems than some of the higher end and higher priced($500.00 plus) CB's on the market. I only shot my terminator approximately 100 times apparently 1deadturkey did not shoot either of his very much and they broke. I know some one who is testing an import CB and claims he has shot it 1,000 plus times with no problems so far. I am not saying anyone should by a cheap import, not at all, parts for them at this time are almost impossible to get and they have very little warranty if any at all, that will change some day and if some of the higher end CB companies can't build more reliable CB's they will be forced to go out of business. One more line in the Parker story, the Buck Buster I received had no quiver mount bracket, the front end was very loose and on one rail the camo material was on half the rail the whole length.... you see what I mean! I have never seen a cheap import with those kind of quality defects brand new. I will keep you posted on the rest of the story with the Parker.
May all your hunts be fun.
