Did I buy a complete piece of crap?
I bought a Parker bow not too long ago. It's the first bow I have ever owned and it was cheap to start out with. Im an avid rifle hunter and all I heard anyone talk about was "Man... if you ever kill one with a bow... youll never want to pick up that gun again." So.... I am givin it a try. It seems pretty accurate and pretty quiet. Does anyone have any opinion on Parker bows or know of any disadvantages?

I know the older parker bows were nice I have a buddy that has one and used it the last 5 years, but he said the ones you that the big stores are selling the last couple of years are not half as nice.

Exactly. Just because someone who shoots a Mathews, Hoyt, or Bowtech refers to your bow as a "piece of crap" shouldn't shame you into purchasing something else. If it shoots good and is quiet, it will work at crunch time. A big part of bowhunting is confidence. Don't let yours get weakened with a snooty comment or two.

I have always shot Parker and love them. I think they're hard bowsto beat for the price. You don't hear a lot about them, but that's only becuase Parker doesn't advertise a whole lot.

If your hitting the vitals of a 3d target out to 30 yards, then its a good bow.
