Parker cyclone
 

I am going to get a Parker Cyclone, Hurrican, or Tornado.
What are your opinion on each one. I was going for the Cyclone, but I had someone tell me that the adjustable stock makes noise. Does it? Any opinion on the other models? Thanks

we cant hunt with xbows here in wv, but my wifes grandfather has a permit for one due to shoulder injuries and he has the cyclone which he let me shoot it a while back and the thing was wicked accurate considering ive never shot a xbow before this one and could touch three arrows everytime at 30 yards if i were to buy one the cyclone would be at the top of my list for sure.....Also i never noticed any noise while i was messing around with the stock.

me and my brother both have cyclones and love them,2 other guys we hunt with have tornados and they love them as well it really comes down to which one you like.shoot both and decide i think the cyclone has a little better trigger,and i like the benefit of an adj stock.as far as the stock any collapsable stock will make a little noise.to solve just put a small peice of velcro on top of the round portion of the stock and no more noise.

Cyclone
 

As long as you don't get a black cyclone, you should be okay. The first batch of blacks had longevity issues. The adjustable stock can be easily quieted, although neither of the ones I owned lasted long enough for me to need to deal with the stock.

I like the cyclone alot! A friend of mine from pa recommended it! Im glad he did!

I went to a store and held the Cyclone and Tornado.
Both nice. The Tornado is compact, but felt short in the stock for me. I liked the adjustable stock on the Cyclone better.
I picked up the Cyclone.

I own the Cyclone as well. I love that bow. The adjustable stock is in no way noisy for me, I love it because I have such long arms without it the bow would not work for me. But I hear the tornado is a great bow as well. As said before, you should shoot both and see which one you like the most.

Held both
 

I have held both and the Tornado seems to be very compact for tree stands and has the better feel to me. But thats a personal choice Im sure. Buckeyefootball

STAY AWAY from Barnett Nothing but porrly made crossbows. You're asking for problems if you buy a Barnett, No warranty, losy coustomer servive, poor reliability. All round cheapply made undepenable crossbow.

Look at Parker, TenPoint, Excal, Bowtech.

Most all all do not listen to Buckeye Bozo!!

I have aTornado. I absolutely love it.

I put the Cyclone together tonight and took her out for some shooting.
All I can say is WOW.
It came with the 3 dot scope, but I am changing it over to the cross hair scope.
I never like the red dot scope on anything ( just me ).
So it anyone looking for a brand new 3 dot, let me know.

Yeah, I am not a big fan of three dots either.

The cyclone that I have came with a sticker on the underside of the scope that said made in china.

You're refering to the scope being made in China ?

I am not sure how one can take it any other way???

The Truglo scopes are made in China, but the crossbow is made in the USA.
When you said ( The cyclone that I have came with a sticker on the underside of the scope that said made in china. ) I took it as underneither the scope there was a sticker saying made in China on the crossbow not it being on the scope.
:guiness:
Let me have another one.

I have a Tornado, and even though its one of the most compact crossbows out there, I don't have any problems with it, and I'm a fairly big guy with long arms.

I was also looking at the Cyclone, but was told by Wyvern (who is well respected when it comes to crossbows) that the Tornado in his opinion was Parkers best crossbow. It's more balanced than the Cyclone.

But I'm sure you'll be happy with either of them, because for the money, they're hard to beat! I know I'm extremely happy with the Tornado.
