Default How come there are so few in here..

Shooting Parker bows?

They seem to have a good product going. Stopped by my dealer this morning and priced a new Parker Wildfire XP. Felt REALLY good in my hand and such. Didn't get to shoot it 'cause he didn't have it set up, and I was kinda "on the clock" if you know whatI mean.

Ready to hunt and out the door he priced it at $415. That's transferring my sights, Whisker Biscuit, and quiver. All the leaches, loop, nock, jax, stabilzer, peep, etc. are included that I couldn't transfer. Whatcha think? It draws MUCH smoother than my current bow, and is oh say 10" shorter BTW. Much lighter too. I know at 300fps it's not the fastest, but I don't need "the fastest". This bow would be a great improvement over my current Golden Eagle Falcon Flame I think. Yep, it's time to upgrade.

Just haven't seen many (if any) in here shooting Parker's. Wondering how come?

My backup bow is a parker deer hunter. Never had any problem with it and still shoots like a dream. I ended up wanting to upgrade and went with a hoyt vtec a couple years back and hopefully wont need another bow for some time to come.

I have a parker buck hunter and I like it for my first bow. It gets the job done.

I shoot the Parker Trailblazer xp. Its a great bow! I choose that bow over many of the top of the line bows like matthews and hoyt just by the feel, quietness and smooth draw cycle of the bow.

I shoot a Parker Hunter Mag, I've never shot another brand, but I've never had any complaints either.

I shoot a Parker Challenger now. Purchased it earlier this year and I absolutely love it. Smooth, easy, light and pretty as well.
