I finally got to shoot both of these bows. I am left handed so I had to drive 2 hours to a large shop in michigan called Jays but it was well worth it. The only bow I wanted to shoot that I couldn't was the Hoyt Havoctech. They have not done the left hand run on them yet. Anyway back to the point.
The Mathews was everything everyone says it is. I loved the bow and can see why everyone loves them. But Im going to buy the Parker. The reason being I liked it just as much. It shoots smooth and the feeling I just couldnt believe was how the bow is dead in your hand after the shot is released. What I mean is the energy is all transfered into the arrow it just feels great after the release. It isnt beter then the mathews in my opinion but its just as good and its a litle over 100 bucks less. Oh and also it is SO LIGHT !!!. If you are looking into the short bows take the time to consider this one too.
