Your thoughts on the updated Parker Python

[mapache01]

I love it! Before update I use it only for Turkeys , Yotes, good placement for Black/White/Deers and shot up Roes on Hemm now is good for everything.

I rarely used bows before update (except x-bow, as many of you already know). After update i start working on 250 kills for each. When i used Python, i had the huge surprise to get 3 red hinds, side by side, within 15 meters range. So, the power and the low noise makes it a devastating weapon and i think after i finish the work with recurve and long bow, it will be my new favorite "silent killer".

Last night I was in a TS shooting turkeys and heard a bull elk call so answered him, then some females called - oh boy, we know what happens there. So here comes Hanna and her 4 sisters. So, Parker to the rescue! and they came in one after the other - boom-smack-boom smack- couple times and number 4 comes in boom smack- number 5 was 30m out and she spooked. So, it's not guaranteed! I recorded it, and watched it over a couple times and still can not see how she was spooked outside of she was looking directly at me. I know she didn't hear the bow, too far out. And of course she spooked the mess of bulls coming in but that was fine, even the largest one wasn't showing over 300.

Great topic....great responses...I'll now definately buy the Parker once I start bow hunting...thanks to you all.

Just finished a hunt where I took a good number of Red Deer.
These were all pretty much consecutive kills, without spooking the herd. Great change to the bow!

Just used it to finish the Reindeer missions, hit one just short of the 75m and the next one at 76.7m. Both took a while to bleed out but getting the hits was easier than I thought it would be. First in the inventory now.

That reminds me: does the Parker Python Rangefinder display the same measured range vs. shot range offset than the rangefinder and the rangefinder-binocs?

Here's what i've encountered today:



So, in short - Blacktail got hit in body + spine 3 while sleeping and he didn't even woke up. I thought he's dead so I came closer and couldn't catch him with HunterMate. Then I noticed he's just... still sleeping. It took total of 4 hits to finally kill him. So as a summary I can say I'm very impressed with it's noise and pain level.

But seriously, even a blacktail doe has been spooked by my first shot from about 25-30 meters.

@TapChan: from screenshot i see you were in MP. Blame the MP, not the bow, for multiple shots and "weird" spooking. Or just keep hunting and forget, as we all did!
