Bare Bows

If you're thinking the Sidekick XP looks just like a modern high-performance parallel-limb hunting bow, YOU'RE EXACTLY RIGHT! Although the Sidekick is made specifically to be an ergonomic match for short-draw shooters, it's a full-blown top-notch compound bow that's loaded with features. The Sidekick sports the royal treatment of compound bow technologies, just compressed into a smaller youth-friendly frame. And this little dynamo isn't short on performance either. The Sidekick is as quiet, shock-free, and forgiving as any full-size model on the market. So it's the perfect choice for serious youth and lady bowhunters.

The Sidekick starts with a crisply machined aluminum riser, compression molded fiberglass limbs, a hot-performing dual cam system with TEN full inches of adjustment, soft rubber comfort grip, and a beautiful Next G-1 film-dipped camouflage finish. Put it all together and you have a market trend parallel-limb bow that out-hunts and out-performs other so-called "youth" bows......cams down. The Sidekick is the Real McCoy!

And like all of our Ready-to-Shoot Youth Packages, the Parker Sidekick system arrives complete with arrow rest, sight, arrows, stabilizer, hard case, wrist sling, mechanical release and MUCH MORE. But don't expect to get a box full of loose parts and assembly instructions, because this setup comes ready for action the moment you unpack it from the case. Our pro-shop does all the work in-advance; professionally installing the accessories, custom building the arrows, tuning and testing the finished rig......the whole works! So this rig arrives 100% ready to shoot.

Hostage by Bowtech

Never worry about an arrow falling from the rest again. The Hostage rest captures the arrow like other popular rests, but doesn't damage fletching or slow down your arrows. Triple brush block design ensures perfect arrow alignment and easy loading. A very quiet and rugged design. *Best used with straight or offset vanes.

Provides excellent penetration and knock-down power as well as unmatched durability. Fletched any way you like - vanes or feathers in your choice of colors. All arrows come with practice tips installed.

Bow Package Details: Services Performed

SETUP
Every 2008 Parker Sidekick Package is hand-assembled at our Pro-Shop by a qualified archery professional. Every detail is attended to. The peep sight is served in place, the nock or loop set is installed, the draw length and weight is set to your specifications, all hardware is carefully installed and properly adjusted, and your arrows are custom built to suit your particular bow and settings. The string gets waxed, axles lubricated, and the bow is given a thorough inspection - top to bottom - for any flaws in manufacturing.

PAPER TESTING/TUNING
We actually test-shoot each bow. Every bow is paper tested by our staff shooters, to ensure that your arrows will fly like a laser beam when launched from your new 2008 Parker Sidekick Package. Adjustments are made as necessary until each arrow tears a clean "bullet-hole", indicating perfectly level and straight arrow flight for the best possible accuracy. We resolve any and all fletching clearance problems and align each arrow nock for a clean zero-contact launch.

RANGE TESTING
Each bow is tested at distance to ensure that arrows will group tightly. 3-Arrow groups are shot at 15, 25, & 35 yards and measured by our staff shooters. We use the 25/2 rule. If our staff shooters aren't grouping 3 arrows into a 2" circle at 25 yards with your new 2008 Parker Sidekick Package, then we retune until the 25/2 rule is met. While variances in individual shooting form makes exact sighting-in impossible, we test shoot each bow and rough-set your top sight pin for a 20 yard shot. This gets your sight-pins in the "ball-park" so you won't have to start from scratch - possibly sending an arrow into an unforgiving neighbor's yard. When you receive your new bow system, you will just need to make fine adjustments to the top pin, then finish-up by setting the remaining pins for the distances you prefer. And if you're new to the sport, or not so handy with tools and gadgetry......don't worry. You'll also receive a copy of our booklet Getting Started with Your Compound Bow which offers detailed instructions on the sighting-in procedure as well as helpful maintenance and safety tips.

CHRONOGRAPH TESTING
We chronograph each bow to ensure that the actual arrow velocity is within the expected range. You will receive a System Statistics report with your new 2008 Parker Sidekick Package. This report will precisely detail the exact velocity of your arrows, grain weight and length of the arrows, recommended tip weights, the exact bow settings, and dozens of other specs related to your bow system. Keep this sheet for your reference. If you ever need additional arrows or want to make changes and adjustments on your bow, you'll have the original data to refer back to.

PACKAGING AND SHIPPING (excluding AK and HI)
Each fully assembled 2008 Parker Sidekick Package is delivered - packed tightly in the hardshell bowcase. The bow and the arrows are firmly strapped into place and the loose parts, like the release, are all safely tucked inside too. Once full, the bowcase is then returned to it's original box and resealed. Your bow system is then shipped, via FedEx Ground, to your home or business within 1-5 working days. A tracking number will be provided to you, so you'll know when to expect delivery.
