Dang I know a guy that just bought a Parker, he is the kind of guy that is going to melt down when he hears this.
That was the problem really. We all "used" to have one, nobody was buying new ones though. I am guilty of that, I liked the one I had all those years ago, but I never bought a second one. I see a lot of posts on forums saying it's shame and they always liked them, but none of those posters have a Parker in their signature. It's hard for a company to stay in business that way.
Guilty as charged. I still have a Parker in the basement alongside my Bowtech but haven't bought any bow in the last 12 years.
Never got to try any of the new parkers after i got mine. Shop never carried there flagship bows. Only one he has now is there newer entry level bow. Think its the revolution. Its a shame they went under there flagship bow this year looked real nice and at a good price.
I have never seen one on a shelf, the closest retailer is 1.5hrs away from me. Sad, but they have to be accessible to the consumer.
I love mine I think they made a great product at an awesome price but did not do a well enough job promoting it. Just like everyone is saying here they like theirs but they didnt repurchase, Parker couldnt keep up with staying relevant in the consumers mind. Definitely a bummer the lifetime warranty was a big selling point for me.
That could be said for a lot of companies. You could drive hours just to shoot some small companies bow , but on the way pass dozens of shops all carrying the same top 3 bow companies.
