RE: bow recommendations???
Parker makes an excellent product, and probably better suited to a new, or "rusty" bowhunter. The bowtechs are faster for sure, and are great bows in their own right, I just feel they are for bowhunters with some miles behind them so to speak. Hoyt also makes some nice bows, and I would not rule out Darton either.
