Re: Time To String Up & Start Shooting :-D
I have been shooting my Parker all summer. I only got it last year and in my opinion I need to practice a lot to be sure I can make those 50 yarders. I took mine in to the local bow shop in June for it's beginning of the year tuneup, one week turn around, now he says 1 month turn around.
