The Legacy is great bow. I have seen several for around $500.00 on classifiads. I love mine. I have no reason to shop for another hunting bow.

Parker, Parker, Parker. When I bought my UL35 I talked to numerous pro shops, and their dealings with parkers customer service was far superior to Mathews. Maybe these guys had some bad luck with Mathews but I didn't want to take the chance. I also just couldn't see spending the money on a Mathews and not get any more performance than the Parker. Just my opinion, but I am very happy with my choice!

They are both great bows you need to shoot them both and decide which is best for you, your the one who will be shooting it, buying a bow is an individual decision, you have narrowed it down now, figure out which one. good luck!

JCA. I would not leave out the mathews sq2. If you like the fx then you will also like the sq2. It is 31" and has a brace hight of 8.5 which makes it more forgiving and easier to shoot, but it is only rated at 305fps. So if speed is important to you then go with the fx, if not then look at the sq2.

GOD HAS BLESSED AMERICA!

My choice would definetly be the Parker. They share alot of the same technology. The main thing that would steer me towards Parker is that the factory is only about an hour and a half from my house. So getting parts quickly and customer service is very easy. Plus i know several people who have them and havent heard any complaints. My next bow will probably be a parker.
