Need some feedback on Parker Bows--thinking of buying

I am loyal guy and have always been interested in Parker Bows because they are from Virginia. I am thinking of buying a new bow late this spring....have you guys shot a Parker Bow or know of someone who either liked or disliked a certain model? Thanks all for any comments/suggestions on buying a good bow.

I was thinking of this:

I've always shot Parker and loved them all. I'm told that their new line-up for 08 is going to have a couple of killer shootin bows, so if you are serious going towards Parker, I'd wait until their new line is out. Otherwise, I really like the trailblazer xp along with the Pioneer and Hornet bows.

I used to own the Huntermag, killed several deer with it, it was a good bow, Parker make a great product.

I was in the No. 1 Parker dealer in VA's shop, yesterday (Green Top....in Glen Allen, VA). If I was going to go with this bow....I'd call them up and ask them the questions I had.

They look like a solid bow.....the ones I saw, there.

Good luck.

Damn GMATT, you were only about 30 min past me. Wish I would've known you were in the area. How did you get there? I-95?? I guess?

I have only shot a couple of Parker bows, but they were nice. My business partner shot one for 5 yrs. and loved it. It should make a good bow for you.

VA I'll be back up there, next week. I have two projects being built in Richmond. I'll be there Tuesday and Wednesday of next week. If you wanna come up and have a beer or 3.....let me know.

GREEN TOP is a place I would spend all my money in under an hour...I avoid that place like the plague!

Thanks guys. I am not sure I will have the cash to buy a new bow this spring, but just in case I do, I would like to take a look at that Parker Hornet. As usual for me, I want something that draws silent and lets loose like a bat out of hell!
