I just sold my Parker Hunter Mag (fully loaded) on ebay. It was my second bow (first good one). The nice thing about Parker is you can buy em ready to shoot or hunt with. I shot mine for a year (Dec. to Dec.) and in Oct. harvested my first bow kill. I shot a nice 140lb doe. It did the trick and my arrow blew right through her. I would recomend a Parker to anyone lookin to get started. But remember..................
