I hope everybody had a safe 4th of July.

This is the 2nd installment of my Paker Blackhawk Bow review. Well, I have some good news and some not so good news. Don't worry the "not so good news" has a good resolution.

The Not so Good

I had been shooting the bow for about three months, when I started noticing some strange marks on the lower cam serving. At first it wasn't that big of a deal and I didn't think it would get much worse, but it has. It seems that the lower cam is biting into the serving.

This would be a good test for Parker to see how they responded to an issues. So I called and asked to talk to someone in Technical Support and I was promptly transfer to some guy named Dave. I basically told him the situation and he said that he would ship me a new cam and a new string. The entire call took about 5 mintues. When I get the parts I will post another blog on the results.

Below is a picture of the Serving wear/tear...

The Good

Well, my 3-D shooting is the best it has ever been. Why? Is it the bow? I'm not sure, I think it has alot to do with this blog and the podcast. Seriously, writting these entries and being on the podcast has really made me think about about setup and my shooting.

On a more techincal note, this is a sweet little bow. I am getting great arrow flight from a small and powerful package.

So would I recommend getting a Blackhawk? Well, at this point it all depends on how there customer support handles the serving issue. So far it is a nice bow but we need to getting the serving issue resolved.

Take Care
