You should be asking if Mathews, Bowtech and Hoyts are worth the money. Parker has one of the best bows for your money than most any company out there. The other guys top of the line bows are going for well over $700 while Parkers top of the line (UL31 & UL35) are going for $530. A fully outfitted Parker with good accessories will cost about the same as some othe bows bare.

Parker sets their own prices for the dealers to sell at so you don' t get any price gouging. At least they did and I think they still do.
