we got a parker bushwacker...havent had any issues...just bowstring wax is all you need. and extra arrows...6 dead deer so far with it...one I lost but it wasnt the bow's fault it was my bad shooting. I enjoy it and my wife loves it! You can spend a lot more but this one is reasonable IMO...20-30 yds you wont miss...unless you misjudge the distance like I did...
