Parker Bows is the first in the industry with a patented Quick Draw System (1^st ever automatic cocking crossbow).  THE CONCORDE CROSSBOW is a top of the line weapon with push-button ease of operation and also delivers a 300 plus feet per second performance.  The Concorde‘s push-button cocking system features a CO2 powered internal mechanism.  It is operated by pressing a button recessed into the rear of the stock.  Pressing the button the bow automatically draws the string to the fully cocked position.  It is just that easy!  The Concorde draws the string onto shooting position and all within 2 seconds and is quiet as a church mouse.

The CO2 is contained in a refillable 9 ounce bottle and a full bottle will cock the Concorde around 50 times.  Not only does the automatic system quietly and quickly cock the crossbow but will uncock the bow by pushing the same button.

This effortless operation crossbow come in Parker’s “Vista” Camo with soft touch finish, string suppressors and Red Hot String.

As with any crossbow, the bolt and nock must be properly aligned or a dry fire could occur. Red Hot or Parker bolts should only be used in the Concorde equipped with Moon Nocks or Capture Nocks only, the minimum bolt should be 400 grains.  ALWAYS inspect bolts and string prior to each use of any crossbow.

By Luanne Bragg

TalkHunting Pro Staffer, Luanne "Beaglepup" Bragg, started hunting (going hunting) with her Grandfather in the fall of 1965.  He loved to squirrel hunt and would carry her into the woods and sit her on a rock and let her hold his prizes.  He took Luanne on her first Pheasant and Rabbit hunts when she was 7.  Shortly after that he had a massive stroke and was never able to return to the woods again.  When Luanne was 9 her Father, who was about to retire from the Marine Corps after 20 years active duty, and Uncle decided that since she could shoot she could remove the ground hogs and crows from the farm fields.  Luanne spent the next few years watching all the wildlife and removing varmints from the farm.  She took herself deer hunting for the first time when she was 15 and took her first deer at 17.  There was a long time between Luanne's first deer and her next deer due to college and work and general life.  She did a lot of small game hunting with her ex-husband starting in 1985 and killed her next deer in 1988.  She has not missed a deer or turkey season since.  When not hunting she is fishing or working in her garden (when not WORKING...).

Luanne has raised, trained and field trialed Beagles in the UKC and ARHA formats for 20 years and has produced several Field and Show Champions and Grand Field and Show Champions.  There is usually at least one litter of puppies born on her place every year.

She holds a Real Estate License in Virginia and owns a Dog Boarding Kennel.  Luanne belongs to the National Association of Realtors, Central Virginia Beaglers Association, NRA, NWTF and Buckmasters.  She was born in East Liverpool, Ohio,  and started showing Appaloosa horses in 1969 and was the Pennsylvania Appaloosa Queen in 1980 and runner up to the National Queen Title the same year. When she gets the chance she still enjoys a long trail ride.  She graduated from Kent State University in Kent Ohio in 1982 with a degree in Applied Science. Luanne relocated from Ohio to Virginia in 1984.
