I can only speak for myself. I have owned Hoyt, Parker, and Jennings bows. For the first time this year I shot a bow that really is far superior, the Bowtech Liberty. I still own two Parker bows and plan on keeping one just for a backup bow on my trips out west. I now own the Liberty. I shoot the Parker and Liberty side by side and there is no comparison on the smoothness in the draw and the hand shock. The Liberty is awesome. By the way the Parker is a 60 pound draw weight and the Liberty is 70 pounds. A good long term investment would be the Bowtech. Hopes this helps. Alan in WI.
