Once the crossbow is sighted in at 20 yards, however, the shooter is advised to shoot no more than two arrows at each bull's-eye to avoid costly "Robin Hoods," arrows that strike the nocks or fletching of previous arrows. Cocking should be accomplished with one short, smooth stroke ending with the click of the trigger mechanism as it automatically moves into the Safe position. The Thunder Hawk is easy to cock and load, although smaller shooters might find it helpful to reduce the length of the cocking rope. Because the scope must be mounted to the crossbow by the purchaser, it might take four or five shots to get the arrows on target. With the Thunder Hawk fully assembled and ready for the range, the shooter's two primary concerns are accuracy and consistency. MSRP for the Perfect Storm package is $839.95. The Perfect Storm package includes the crossbow, an illuminated multi-reticle scope, six 20-inch Red Hot high-velocity arrows with field points and three broadheads, a rope cocker, sling, wax and lube kit and soft case. For the Thunder Hawk with illuminated multi-reticle scope, the MSRP is $599.95. MSRP for the crossbow and basic scope, arrows and quiver is $549.95. The Thunder Hawk base model comes with the buyer’s choice of a 3X multi-reticle scope, a 1X illuminated multi-reticle scope or a 3X illuminated multi-reticle scope. The Thunder Hawk is designed for use only with Parker's Red Hot or Hunter arrows fitted with the company's patented Capture Nocks, which completely surround the string to reduce string jump, misfires and improper nock placement while loading. The Thunder Hawk includes a vented forearm for weight reduction and includes a safety flange to keep fingers well below the rail while shooting. The all-metal, no-creep trigger mechanism requires no maintenance and is accompanied by a 100-percent lifetime warranty. The mechanism includes a nylon arrow retention spring and integrated one-piece scope base. The crossbow also features Parker's auto-engage anti-dry-fire mechanism, which allows the crossbow to fire only when an arrow is properly seated in the firing mechanism. The Thunder Hawk also features Parker's auto-engage ambidextrous safety, which automatically places the trigger in the "Safe" position when the crossbow is cocked. Parker's EZ Pull System, engineered into each crossbow, reduces cocking effort by more than 50 percent when paired with the Red Hot EZ Roller rope cocker, resulting in one of the easiest-cocking crossbows in the industry. Draw weight is 160 pounds with a 10.75-inch power stroke, generating arrow speeds of 320 fps using 20-inch, 400-grain carbon arrows. Lightweight and compact at 6.5 pounds and 34.25 inches overall, the Thunder Hawk is optimally balanced for steadier aim from blinds or treestands or while still-hunting in thick cover. Available as bow only or with Parker's Perfect Storm package, the Thunder Hawk features Parker's proprietary Advanced Split Limb technology with integrated Fulcrum Pocket System. The Thunder Hawk is Parker Bow's top offering for 2013.
