I currently own a Parker Ultra Lite 31 Hunting bow, A Parker Ultra Lite 31 Competition Bow and a Parker Phoenix 34, I shoot 50-60lbs on all of them and love them all.
I have taken bucks and does , coons and possums with the UL31, its a great shorter ATA hunting bow with good speed. My Comp UL31 has been performing Flawlessly for ASA Comp. The Phoenix is my latest addition to my Parker Stable and I am very impressed with the bow and speed, I got the 50-60lb and checked the weight right out of the box was 63lbs, it actually shoots faster than my UL31 set at the same poundage.I will be bowhunting with the Phoenix 34 this year. Phoenix sits in the hand nicely and balances well and was a breeze to paper tune and group tune, I also dont care for the grip because of the way it positions my grip, I prefer a much lower wrist grip and it was causing me to have to shoot a higher grip, the hubby likes the grip though.
I have only ever had to have a service repair from parker on my UL31, I was shooting in the ASA Worlds Classic and had a twisted limb, sent the bow back to parker for limb replacement, what I recieved back was a bow with 2 new limbs, a new Stone Mountain String plus they returned the string which I had on the bow which was a brand new Stone Mountain Dakota Pre Streched String that didnt need to be replaced, They sent new Limb Savers to me, New Axles , new Bushings, new cable slide.
They set the bow all up and set the center shot so the bow was basicly ready to shot right out of the box, and has been a dream to shoot ever since. The bow was if I remember correctly back in a week.The overall impression they left me with was ..... PARKER HAS TOP NOTCH CUSTOMER SERVICE And a GREAT line of bows If you have the chance Try one out and see what you think of the Parker bows for yourself. They sell very well around here, but not every bow is the right bow for everyone.
