I love this bow. The last new bow I bought was a Pearson Spoiler 19 years ago. The Raptor is quiet, easy to handle, affordable, (did I mention quiet?). That has been the one thing everyone says when I shoot this bow, Quiet. The only problem I have is the sims string leaches have broken or fallen off after 30 or 40 shots. I have been shooting since I was 6 years old, and hunting with a bow since the late seventies. I bought a Parker for a couple of reasons. 1. My son bought one used and really likes it. (He had a Reflex that literally fell apart in two years). 2. My brother bought one for his 11 year old son last year (grow up with Parker). He killed 3 deer with it. The grow up with Parker program is a great idea. 3. You are located in our Great State of Virginia (I am a native Virginian). I looked at Mathews, Mission, Bowtech, and still came back to Parker. Keep up the good work.

I рυrсhаѕеԁ a nеw Raptor a few weeks ago. I Ɩονе thіѕ bow. Thе last nеw bow I bουɡht wаѕ a Pearson Spoiler 19 years ago.
Thе Raptor іѕ qυіеt, easy tο handle, affordable, (ԁіԁ I mention qυіеt?). Thаt hаѕ bееn thе one thing everyone ѕауѕ whеn I shoot thіѕ bow, Qυіеt.
Thе οnƖу problem I hаνе іѕ thе sims string leaches hаνе broken οr fallen οff аftеr 30 οr 40 shots.

They were heavy, loud, and the risers were not even milled out. I figured I would test this bow out and see how it shot b/c not only did it look great, it was pretty light. Well, I was pleasantly surprised when the bow drew back easily at 65lbs, slung the arrow out pretty darn fast for a non aggressive solo cam, and did this very quietly as well. The built in string tamer is a nice feature. Good job parker for finally making a good mid priced bow!

He had just bought one for himself and was just stunned by the accuracy. Several other associates, some whom I had dealt with before and trusted - backed up his story. The rest is history. I was shooting more accurately with this bow setup after 10 minutes with it than I have been able to achieve in a year of shooting with my recurve. What a confidence-booster! I'd definately buy one again, though I don't think I'll have to. Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend
