Strange question! I own a PSE Bruin and I also own a Parker Hunter Mag. You really wouldn't go wrong with either. Both are fast shooters. Both will shoot accurately. No, you don't have to part with $1000-$1500 like some of these guys on here to get a decent bow to hunt with. Dead is dead....the deer won't know the difference. In fact, I have a 25 year old PSE that I kill a deer with almost every year. Keep your money in your pocket...you don't need a Mathews or Bowtech. Some of these guys buy new every year. Bows depreciate faster than Korean made cars...they ain't a good investment. Besides, bowhunting is a solo sport....there ain't nobody out there to impress. Some of the fella's on here shoot homemade bows with remarkable success rates. You should be able to buy the PSE Bruin for a little less money than the Parker.
