RE: Fred bear Vs. Parker

Not knocking the brands you mentioned, but you have to think resale value down the road. Personally, I'd spend the extra bucks and go with any of the top three. Mathew's, Hoyt, or Bowtech.

But is there a reason i should get the parker over the bear, like quieter, or more reliable, or somthing, because i can get the fred bear instinct which normally retails around 400, for 280 at a place.

I never had a Fred bear so I couldn't really compare the two, but a Parker is quiet, fast, andreliable.If you can't make up your mind, try going to a Pro shop, and try shooting both models. A Parker vs. a Fred bear. See which one you like better.

shoot them both, you,ll like the instinct better. I shot the instinct back to back with a bowtech, very very comparible in smothness, vibration, and quietness.
