Cool Top 5 bow packages under 550 dollras?

I am recently looking at purchasing a bow package from huntingfriends.com, wondering if anyone has used these guys before, and if so what top 5 bow packages under 550$would you recomend. New to archery, had my eye on the parker wildfire extreme. Are parker good bows? Thanks,

Parkers are excellent bows, known longevity and dependability. I know my back up bow (I use it for hog hunting) is a hunter mag that I just recently purchased new in box. It is a 03 model sold as new for 04 season but the guy had this left over. They have lifetime warranties and you won't go wrong if you purchase a Parker. My son has been shooting parkers for over 10 years now and won't buy any other bow even though he could easily afford a new Mathews, he says they're just to dependable to buy anything else.

The only feed back I've ever got back from Parker was that they didn't get factory service from Parker as good they do from the other bow companies.

Parkers are very good bows. I live about 45 minutes from where there are made in VA so they are pretty popular in my area. I have never heard anything other then great things about their customer service.

I would also recommend checking here and archerytalk.com used sections. $550 can get you last years $850 hot bow with most of the accesories already included.
