Hi

can anyone help. Is the Parker Sidekick a proper compound in that you adjust the draw weigt by winding the limbs in and out or is it like the Hoyt Rukus were the draw weight increases with draw lenght and cannot be adjusted?


Many Thanks

Where does it say that the Rukus has no draw weight adjustment,or am I missing something?

The Parker Sidekick does maintain the same peak weight regardless of the draw length setting.

However, some bows do change their weight range depending on the draw length. Bear Apprentice, for example. On that bow if the peak weight is marked 50#, at 27" it will go from 40#-50#, but at 22" it will go from 30#-40# and at 17" it will go from 20#-30#.

The Ruckus is the same - the peak draw weight increases with the draw length, but there is still a 20# weight range available.
