Hunting elk will also be possibly, but you’ll need to limit your shooting range to less than 25 yards otherwise you’re reducing your chances of achieving a full arrow pass through.It’s good for hunting small and medium-sized game (turkey, deer).of kinetic energy, depending on how far away your target is. Decent speed for polishing up on shooting technique before going after a long-range crossbow.The trigger is very responsive and extremely easy to pull.It’s light-weight and very easy to cock due to the low draw weight.This crossbow was designed with beginners in mind: Is The Parker BushWacker 150 Suitable For Beginners? For hunting purposes, get a better scope with better optics. It’s enough for target practice, but if you hunt in varying weather conditions, you’ll have trouble aiming in poorly-lit or misty conditions. The scope is excellent for shooting at 20, 30 and 40 yard targets.While I can attest to the latter, I haven’t had a chance to test the former. It’s supposedly water and fog resistant.You’ll need to sight your crossbow, as the scope is not zeroed out of the package.Any 20″ Parker crossbow arrows will synergize great with the BushWacker.Both aluminum and carbon will work well, though if you are a beginner better start out with aluminum arrows.20″ arrows with 375 to 425 grain total weight are ideal for this crossbow.The package unfortunately did not include any arrows.Arrows For The Parker BushWacker 150 Crossbow However, due to the relatively slow shooting speed, it’s hard to properly aim past the 40 yard distance and accuracy will suffer. Overall: the scope is good and the quality of the design make aiming easy. Expect to hit 2″ groups from around 30-40 yards.It’s quite comfortable to hold, and since it’s also light-weight, this makes aiming much easier.After that, the scope seems to hold zero very well with no need for any alterations in settings. Elevation and windage knobs were responsive and it only took me 10 minutes to get the crossbow sighted. The scope was not zeroed for 20 yards out of the box, so I had to sight it before I started shooting.How Accurate Does The BushWacker 150 Shoot? Overall: avera shooting speed and KE when compared to more expensive crossbows, but powerful enough for the majority of shooter’s needs. Point-blank kinetic energy was roughly 60.35 ft-lbs.Speed tests conducted using our chronograph and 350 grain arrows showed 280 FPS (averaged from 5 shots).Advertised shooting speed of the BushWacker 150 is 285 FPS.Overall: Parker’s triggers are among the finest in the industry, and the one in the BushWacker 150 is no exception. Feels smooth and quite light to pull, though definitely not too light. Based on my test, the trigger pull is 4.2 lbs.Because it’s a sealed construction, there’s no need for any lubrication.There are no plastic components, the whole trigger assembly is made of metal.Otherwise it’s a solid and very safe construction. I only wish the stock butt would have been a little larger for some extra comfort. Considering the resilience of the whole construction, it’s very light weight (7 pounds).ADF (anti dry fire) security system is also availble and the safety is ambidextrous.Arrow retainer is long and seems very durable – no issues with it after over a year of shooting.Shoulder plate is a little small, though given the relatively low shooting speed of the crossbow, it’s still enough to minimize recoil.Most people like it, personally though I prefer different grip designs. The grip is similar to what you’d expect to see in a firearm.It also helps keep your fingers away from the flight rail. The fore-grip is vented, making the BushWacker really comfortable to hold and aim.Foot stirrup is very large, so you won’t have issues regardless of the size of your footwear.The camo finish on the limbs does not come off with time.
First Impressions: Design, Quality, Safety Features Use the bolt to secure the riser to the stockĪround 15-20 minutes of work is all it takes.Use the provided screws to fit the quiver mount to the stock.The actual assembly process is very simple, as all parts of the eccentric system come already installed. Make sure to follow the picture-rich assembly instructions within the owner’s manual. The package does not include any crossbow arrows, so you will need to buy those (as well as field tips / broad-heads) separately.
