Brenda is the first woman inductee into the Legends of the Outdoors Hall of Fame. She is also a member of a Sports Hall of Fame for her archery accomplishments. She holds numerous state, regional and national 3-D Archery titles.

Brenda proudly endorses and uses Parker Compound Bow products. 2009 will be the fifth year that Brenda has been shooting Parker exclusively.

The First Lady ® is often described by others as a modern day pioneer in the outdoor industry and hunting’s brightest star. Brenda is a staunch ambassador for women and children in the outdoors; however, she proclaims, that while hunting provides her livelihood, leisure, and will most certainly be her legacy, she will never be able to give back as much to hunting as it has given her. Brenda still makes her home on a farm in rural Tennessee with her husband, Barney, and an assortment of dogs, horses, and various other critters.


Brenda shot this Cape Buffalo bull while hunting with the Parker BlackHawk XP. It is only the second buffalo to be taken by a woman bowhunter.

“No game is too small or too large for a Parker. I’ve hunted everything from bull frogs to cape buffalo with a Parker Compound bow and it has never let me down. Hunting is what I do. It is a demanding job and if I’m to be consistently successful, I can’t be wondering if my equipment will measure up to the task. I know it will. Therefore, I have the confidence to go after some of the most dangerous game on earth. That is why I shoot a Parker”

This critter is a Nilgai, native to Asia, now found in south Texas. It is also known as the gray ghost or the blue bull. A mature Nilgai such as this bull, is one of the most wary animals alive and almost impossible to take with a bow.







Brenda Valentine’s passion and commitment to the outdoors has inspired her entire family, read below:

Nine year old, Caleb Orr (Brenda’s grandson), shot this old gobbler during the TN Youth Turkey Hunting Season. The bird weighed 24 1/2 pounds, had a 10 1/2” beard and almost 1 1/2” spurs. Caleb shoots a .20 gauge Beretta youth shotgun and Winchester turkey ammo. The shot distance was 36 yards.

Caleb says “this is my fourth turkey and by far the best one”.
