Parkers are excellent bows, known longevity and dependability. I know my back up bow (I use it for hog hunting) is a hunter mag that I just recently purchased new in box. It is a 03 model sold as new for 04 season but the guy had this left over. They have lifetime warranties and you won't go wrong if you purchase a Parker. My son has been shooting parkers for over 10 years now and won't buy any other bow even though he could easily afford a new Mathews, he says they're just to dependable to buy anything else.
