RE: Parker Bows
I purchased the Hunter-Mag this year. Have not shot at a deer yet. But targeting shooting this thing is awesome. It' s quit, pretty fast, light weight, short enough to not be manuverable while in the stand.
So far so good.

RE: Parker Bows
Rest assured you made an excellent choice! I' ve been shooting Parker for several years now and have never had a single problem with thier bows. I' m currently shooting a UL35 and love it. As for their customer service it gets a big thumbs up in my book. So far i' ve never had to have any work done on a Parker bow but i' ve used their customer service to order modules and ask questions and they have always been very courteous and helpful. Their new bow line will be out on Dec 1 and i can' t wait to see what they have new for 04. Parker makes a quality bow no doubt and i would highly recommend them to anyone.

When I first shot the Parker UL31 it was just the bare bow out of the box, the dealer set it up with the basics sight, rest , peep and nock. When I first shot it I did notice the hand shock you speak of, but the bow shot so sweet, I was hitting center dots with the bow right out of the box, so I was sold.
The hand shock on my Parker UL31 was removed by using a Doinker Stabilizer,Limbsavers,Sims Cable Dampners , String Leeches, a few Mini Limsavers and I put a layer of Clear Silicone under the bow grip. She shoots even more sweet now[8D]

The first time I put the Ultra Light 31 in my hand, I knew I had to have it. I switched from PSE to the UL 31 and couldn' t be happier. The bow shoots awesome and is really quiet. For being a short bow, it is really forgiving which surprised me. Definetely another satisfied Parker customer here

RE: Parker Bows
I guess I gotta agree with the rest of the crowd. Working in a shop and having access to al kinds of bows, not to mention 30+ years of shooting compounds, I find I like the Parker line. Really top quality stuff. I was a bit disappointed with UL 31 tho. Set it up at my 27" draw and 59 lbs shooting a 335gr ICS and it didn' t break the chrono. Best speed I could get was 297fps, three shots in a row. Most will admit, this is smokin.

RE: Parker Bows
I don' t own one, but I have shot them and have friends with UL 31' s. If you want a lightweight bow, Parkers UL 31 is the best short, fast, and lightweight bow in its class.
Good Luck!
