Testing a Killer Instinct Trigger Box

Hi, I'm Lance Hanger with Parker Bows. In this segment, we are going to review some important safety features that are built into every Parker crossbow. We here at Parker have a commitment to you, our customer, to provide safe and effective hunting equipment, and we take this commitment seriously. First, all Parker crossbows feature a vented forearm with safety finger flange. The ergonomically designed forearm, combined with following the safety and operating instructions found in the owner's manual, ensures proper hand, finger, and thumb placement on the crossbow during the shot. And the safety finger flange extends laterally on either side of the barrel to further prevent injury to your hand, fingers, or thumb. Second, all Parker crossbows feature the legendary patented G2 trigger system. The G2 trigger has an auto-engaging safety that goes to the safe position automatically when the crossbow is cocked. Plus, you do not need to put the safety in the fire position to cock the crossbow, like some other brands. Additionally, the G2 trigger has a blocking safety that allows you to switch from safe to fire and back to safe again without affecting the functionality of the safety or the operation of the trigger. It is without question the most reliable safety available. The G2 trigger also incorporates an anti-dry fire locking mechanism that prevents the trigger from firing if no arrow is loaded. And unlike competing brands, Parker's anti-dry fire does not release the string when activated, another important safety feature. Third, all Parker crossbows specify the use of capture nocks, the safest, most accurate nock available. Capture nocks provide full string engagement, and this unique patented design prevents accidental dry fires where your string shoots over or under the nock. An accidental dry fire can damage your crossbow. Fourth, every Parker crossbow comes with an owner's manual that includes important safety information, warnings, and tips to ensure that you follow safe and proper operating procedures. In addition, all Parker crossbows include important safety warning labels right on the product as a quick reminder. There is also a series of safety and operating videos available on our website at www.parkerbows.com. We advise you to take full advantage of this important information. Read the owner's manual and safety warning labels fully and completely. Watch the videos and make sure you understand them. And should you have any questions, please feel free to contact our customer service department directly, either by phone or email. Of course, a Parker crossbow is a lethal weapon capable of harnessing the world's largest big game animals, and it should be treated with the same care and respect you would a firearm. Lastly, Parker crossbows are designed and engineered to perform with genuine Parker components, including Parker and Red Hot Arrows, and Parker strings and cables. You should never use non-factory components, and you should not alter or modify your crossbow in any way. To do so would be unsafe and would void your warranty. We appreciate your attention to this important information, and we wish you the best of luck hunting and safe shooting.
