Parker compound bows was founded in 1984 by Bob Errett who is still the president of Parker today. Bob started in the archery business with Bear Archery and was a personal friend of Fred Bear. Every year they spent a week at Fred's Michigan hunting camp.
When Bob left in 1984 he started Nationwide and they became a major accessory and arrow supplier for over 17 years. In 1996 Nationwide merged with Parker and the focus changed to manufacturing compound bows.
In 2002 they developed a crossbow that are lighter in weight and have many new technologies in their design. They have quickly moved to the top in crossbow sales and in 2008 the Cyclone set the standard for crossbow design.
Today Parker compound bows are sold in over 1200 retail stores and Inc magazine named them the 300th and 231st fastest growing company in the U.S. They started their 3rd expansion in 2007.
Parker compound bows are known for their speed, smoothness and overall shootability. They also have what is arguably the best customer service in the archery industry. All bows come with a lifetime warranty to the original owner and Parker stands behind it 110%.
