I've got two Parkers. My hunting bow is the Ultra Lite 35. My 3D bow is the Ultra Lite Pro. The bows are really lite. Can shoot as fast as all the rest and are quiet. How about accurate too. Go to your nearest PRO/ARCHERY shop and have him set one up of your choice and try it out. I like both my bows. They work great for me.

As long as kids are having fun shooting, I don't care if I shoot bad

Parker bows are some of the best bows on the market. They have the best warrenty(life time)around. I do not feel you will disappointed with your choice in a Parker bow.

I bought the UL 31 back in December and it shoots great. It seems to be very durable and hunter freindly due to its size and weight!

I own a Parker Hunter MAg II. It is light, packs a punch and SOLID. If I had a complaint it would be the grip. IT's not bad it's just a tad unsettling for my grip. All around an excellent bow.

I shoot the Parker Ultra Lite 31 and I have been very satisfied with the bow. It did come stock with the high wrist grip and I did not want wait for a low wrist grip to be ordered, so I modified the grip myself mith a dremel and drum sander, I now have a custom low wrist grip that is a nice walnut color that is customized to my specs and is a custom fit for my hand.Parker has a good product line out with a lifetime warrenty on their bows.I personally chose a bow from a company that had been in the buisness for a while with a pretty solid reputation over a bow from a newer company, that who knows how long they will be in the buisness and then if I need customer service where will they be?

I posted this same topic a couple of weeks ago. Two weeks ago I purchaced a hunter mag II becouse I was having problems with a dual cam PSE (it was actually for my 21 yr old son). I'm not an expert but the serving on the bow from the factory was too thin to grip the knocks properly. My local proshop recomended we shoot a couple of hundred arrows through it to get the string broke in then bring it back and he would reserve it and adjust as needed. We did notice considerable string stretch during this period but it seems to have stabilized now. The bow shoots great. When we got it home I just paper tuned it from about 8 ft. (a topic in itself)and it really shoots well.

The only complaint I have is that it seems to have a slight "rattle" when fired. It sounds like a loose screw on a site bracket would sound but it is coming from the limb joints. It's not horrible but it's not quiet either. Good Luck with it....Fletch
