I don't shoot any bows, but we sell a lot of them at Sportsmans and the guys on the archery counter like them. If you want more info, I'll ask the archery manager to give me the strait scoop on them.
Which model are you looking at?

I tried one out at a sporting goods shop and they seemed like a pretty solid bow. Really light weight and overall pretty smooth. I personally shoot a Mathews Legacy, but I would say that the Parker is a solid bow that is a good choice if you are looking to not mortgage the house. It is very similar to the PSE. It fits that mid range level- not junk, but not the smoothness of a Mathews. No complaints from my trial. Solid back wall and smooth action.

I heard that the original guy that started Mathews went out on his own and started parker? Not sure if its true or not. I agree with the house mortgage part travis, man thier spendy.
Love some info if you can get it Alaskan.

I have one of the first Parkers, a field grade bow. It is fast, quiet and shoots very well. They have come out with lots of new ones that are even better,

I bought one in June from the Nock point, couldnt pass up the deal. I love it though it really spits the arrows out.
