We have a Parker, just cuz it was cheaper. 6 confirmed deer kills...one I lost due to a bad shot (my fault)...all shots have been under 30yds and the deer only go 40yds max.

I don't think it matters what brand anymore with the exception of super cheap bows...I personally wouldn't go less than Parker priced bows...just depends how much you are willing to pay...I do know super cheap means super cheap made. Just keep that in mind.
