Late into this thread I realize. If it is any comfort, I have used a Parker Tornado for several years now. No issues. Fast and accurate. Not sure how many times I ahve shot it ... 400-500 at the range I'd guess ... and 23 times in the field. One clean miss ... 22 clean kills. Missed a coyote at about 75 yards on a "poke and hope" shot. Just a wee bit over his back .... about 3' !!!
