New bow advice
 
I am thinking about buying a Parker bow. Possibly a Hunter mag, Extreme hunter mag, or
Ultra lite 31.
Thumbs up or down.

Thumbs up for going to your Pro Shop and checking out all your options first. :eek::D

What Washington Hunter said.

There are a lot of good bows out there. Most is just personal preference. Just be sure to know all your options and shoot all the different bows before you make a decision. Also be sure to have someone help you with your new bow that knows what they are doing.

I had a Parker Hunter Mag all last year and loved it. I just tryed the Mathews Switchback and had to give the Parker the move over move. I shot my Parker with extreme accuracy. I even took my first bow kill with it. A nice 140lb doe at 8 yards off a pale on the ground. It definetly did the job. She didn't go 30 yards. If you're serious about Parker look at the Phoenix line. I haven't shot one but man do they look nice. They are supposedly the next step up from the Hunter Mags. Good luck on your choice and keep us posted.

If you are looking for a parker then i suggest you dont go shoot the mathews Switchback.
If you shoot this bow i promise you that you will want one.

My experience with Parker limbs breaking has not been good.

I have recently purchased a Parker Phoenix and love it!! After shooting it for only an hour im getting 1.5 inch groups, and its not even tuned yet. No hand shock and a nice smooth draw cycle. I'm thouroughly impressed.
