RE: Need some feedback on Parker Bows--thinking of buying
Ive shot a Parker Buckunter for 3yrs now and i love the bow it's light and accurate plus besides Hoyt i think that their one of the toughest bows they make, ive shot the trailblazer and really liked it (it's a little faster than the Buckhunter) my bow shoots an arrow weighin 340gpi at about 250fps which may not be the fastest bow but it is extremely accurate. Plus it helps that the Parkers don't wipe out your wallet

I really like Parker Bows. My girlfriend has one and so does my Dad. Their customer service has been very good. One time I noticed some worn cam bushings on a used bow I bought, I called Parker and they sent new bushings for free. We just did a grow up with Parker upgrade for $50 and got basically a new bow. Parker gaveus a new riser to match the newer camo pattern on the new limbs.

My Wildfire was the only left handed bow in the shop and I didn't plan on buying a new bow. Shot it, bought it and have no intention of getting a new one. Until Parker fails me, I won't buy anything else.

Parker bow have a smooth release and as for hand shock they are about the same as any other bow but i cant tell anymore because i decked mine all out with limbsavers and there is no shock and hardly any noise i dont even use string silencers when i hunt

My son has the parker hunter mag, great bow, he kills deer with it, but it did come apart once on him, there is a flush mounted screw on the lower cam module, that sheared off when he was drawing, it was less than a year old, parker replaced every thing no problems, and suggested using lock-tight (blue) on the screw.

i have the hunter mag extreme....c/s at parker is top notch, had to order a wood grip,did it over the phone and i had it in about 4 business days......i have only shot a reflex, high country, and the extreme........i really like light bows and parker has one of the lightest in the market today....there is no real aftershock (compared to those other bows)...very smooth draw and release is very nice....it has a great breaking point..not too short...the reflex had a very short breaking point.......good bow all around, imo...
