I bought a buck buster last year, 2nd time out i was sitting in blind and limb delaminated, got it fixed and it lasted for rest of hunting season, about 30 shots, mostly to unload it. first day out this year and limb delaminated while sitting in blind. parker sent a complete new front end which my dealer installed. lasted about 27 shots and 2 days ago same thing happened. always use only red hot accessories. my brother bought one same time as i and had the same thing happen almost immediately. took it back and dealer gave him credit for a ten point which he has not had a problem with. all the comments about a bad nock, not seated arrow etc, are really inane. bow should not delaminate limbs from a minor thing like that, and with the large number of the same complaints, i cannot believe that Parker owners are more careless than other crossbow owners. Parker has a problem with the buckbuster, which they discontinued by the way, and should own up to it and compensate purchasers of this bad equipment. my opinion.
parker has been very good about repairs, as has my dealer, but it sure is aggravating to go out hunting and have to be constantly worrying WHEN, not if, your equipment will fail.
