Nice shooting, Chris!

 

Theres one here that is a competition. If you use your range finder you are out and its just a fun shoot So needless to say we just use a range finder and have fun

 

Looking for opinions on the Parker Revolution bow. Thanks.

 

best thing to do is find a bow shop near you and shoot one, what one person may like another may not. We have a Parker crossbow that is great, but I dont know how the compound bow stacks up.

 

Parker has been around for awhile so I think there quality is good and the price looks great compared to Mathews,Hoyt and others.For me it’s like @wilcam47 said,it’s all how it feels in your hands...

 

Parker makes great bows, but as others have said, I wouldn't buy sight unseen. Shoot one first.

 

The more casual competitions here have two divisions in each age/sex group. One is "known distance" where you can use a rangefinder and one is unknown.

I have been practicing without knowing the distances, and I have lost a few arrows...

 

I never knew this page existed. I love bow hunting and I am a avid shooter. this was my first shots of 2017.

 

Nice!!!! That one arrow looks longer than the others lol.

 

I did that twice last year it gets expensive.

 

It’s a double edged sword,cool feeling when it happens but yes gets expensive...

 

I did it once, put it in my garage, and now I shoot for different spots. These gold tips ain't cheap!

 

right! but sometimes you have to see if you can replicate results.

 

I know those carbon express aren't cheap either haha.

I will shoot for the same spot past 20 yards. I am not a good enough shot to robin hood outside of that!

 

both of mine were at 20 I think. this is a group I shot one arrow from each 20 30 40

 

That's some sweet shooting there! We need to get a VA Taco/Archery meet in the works.

 

ya man that would be awesome. im looking into getting a new bow this year. my Fred bear is getting some age on it

 

I shot my Bear Element for 8 years and just picked up an Arena 34 at the end of 2017. I loved and still do love that Element, but man, what a difference! This Arena is redonkulous. Super smooth, super quiet and super fast. My buddy who has only shot Matthews and currently has a Z7 is even pretty jealous - no offense @Z7Xtreme !

 

Im not in the market for a bow, my Mathews is still holding up great even though its considered and "old" bow...lol I just chuckle when I take it to get string work done...

 

im addicted to Fred bear for the price points. hard to beat a bow that is sub 600$ and shoots like mine. not to mention the countless beatings that its taken on hunting trips.
