I love the Parker Blackhawk but beforeyou decide to buythe Guardian check out the new 09 line of Bowtech's Admiral, Captain and Swat. Each is extremely quiet and fast and I think lighter than the General. I am waiting to shoot the 09 modelBlackhawk, I will probably be buying it for my trip to Alaska next year.

Wessner's Taxidermy in PA deals in Parker and Bowtech, 717-647-2946.He is currently selling all 08 Bowtech models at $100 off original price. He has 2 Guardians, one60# and one 70#. He also has a General fully outfitted for less than $600.

I purchased a Parker last year and something happened to it which wouldn't allow me to get my max poundage. Wessner sent the limbs back to Parker and replaced my winner's choice strings with new ones at no extra cost. I recommend him to anyone. He's also a National Champion Taxidermist if you needto get something mountedafter you buy your bow.
