Tell ya what. I've been shooting compounds for over 35 years. I was once a sales rep for a bow company. Been a staff shooter for 16 years now.

There is nothing special about Parker strings. Most all strings are made of various "fast flight" materials. And unless Parker has changed their ways their strings have never really impressed me. There bows, on the other hand, are pretty good---worthy of better strings.

My advice. You have a good bow shop with some common sense. If he makes good strings like you say then I'd say his price is fair, too. You have a keeper there.
