How many of you shoot a parker? Are they worth the money? I shot a cheap Darton last year, my first year hunting. Would this be an okay bow for me? I' m not that good, but the Darton is basically crap after a year. I need to continue learning form. Can someone give me prices on these bows? I' ve searched but can' t find em...

Parkers are great bows. I own two UL31s and are pleased with them. In my area, a Hunter Mag goes for $319 and a UL31 for $529.

You should be asking if Mathews, Bowtech and Hoyts are worth the money. Parker has one of the best bows for your money than most any company out there. The other guys top of the line bows are going for well over $700 while Parkers top of the line (UL31 & UL35) are going for $530. A fully outfitted Parker with good accessories will cost about the same as some othe bows bare.

Parker sets their own prices for the dealers to sell at so you don' t get any price gouging. At least they did and I think they still do.

Across the country, there seems to be quite a spread of prices people pay for Mathews bows. In the Atlanta area all the dealers are getting $569 for the Legacy and $599 for the LX. Not much differnce in price from the Parker UL series.

About the same prices in my neck of woods here in Louisiana. Actually I believe I can buy Mathews cheaper than Hoyt or Bowtech.

There must be cause I see them here, depending on model, from $550 - $750. Same with Bowtech. Hoyt aren' t quite as much. Don' t get me wrong, they are great bows but that' s a lot of money. My wife would whoot me with my own bow for that.
