Although it's highly unlikely you'll need it, Parker's customer service is excellent. I had a Buckshot and a Challenger. I had to call tech support a couple of times. Each occasion, the guy on the other line took the time to walk me through what was going on and the issue(s) were resolved or it was made very clear what I needed to do.

The new Parker Raptor looks pretty sweet. I have a thing for parrallel limb bows. It's handle sort of mimics the Matthews with the wide grip.

There's just not many complaints with Parkers vs. alot of other bows....

By all means.... my PSE is a piece of crap...
It was built in
The paints wore off the edges of the limbs and the grip...
The edges of the cams are all tore up.
The let off isn't too much....
But that bow drives tacks against alot of newer bows. I'd love a new one but this bow is just flat shoots "FOR ME"
Its not my buddies bow.
Its not Dave Cousins bow
Its not even my dad's bow.
Find one that you can shoot well and kill with and don't worry about what other people spend their money on, they look nice, but thats about the gyst of it.

I've shot a PSE Baby G for3 years now. I bought a Mathews Switchback and hated it. I sold the Mathews for nearly nothing and I wouldn't trademy PSEfor anything. My first bow was a Browning rage and you want to talk a piece of crap but my sight NOW probably cost more than that whole bow.

My first was a Browning Timberwolf that ran me 135.00 brand new. It's scary but I think that my stabilizer is the only thing that costs less than that now.

Dont worry what other people think. I have shot some parkers and I like them. They make a good quality bow for the money. I can remember when parker used to be in the top 10 list. but that was when they advertised quite a bit. I know hunters that have been using them for years and wont buy anything else. You do not own a piece of crap ill tell ya that right now.
