I have a parker blackhawk, shot a parker extreme ultra lite 31 for the past 4 years. I cant say ONE bad thing about them. Even if I had a bad thing about Parker, they fixed it for me. My blackhawk has some cam issues because it being a new bow. Its kinda like a new ATV. I remember when I bought a new raptor 660, it had kinks that needed to be worked out, but yamaha never overed to fix it. Parker realized this problem and fixed it free of charge! Every company has problems, im sure mathews, bear, diamond, ect...all have some issues, actually just seen where Bowtech generals or something was being recalled. Parker is a great company and makes a great bow! I guarentee you could find a bow in their line-up you would like. They actually have a great competition bow, SHOOTING STAR, it is a sweeet looking bow. The raptor XP is also a sweet little bow. The parker blackhawk is nothing but GREAT!!!! I absolutely LOVE my bow. Everyone that sees it wants one or it. Check them out before you buy one, promise you will like em.Hope this helps
