About Parker

Eccentric Systems - Parker Bows has been known for smooth drawing bows for many years, but their EZ Draw Cam has set itself apart. This is one of the smoothest drawing cams in the industry.

Limbs - Parker's limbs do not fall short of their high quality standards, their limbs are meant to take whatever you can dish out. Each of the adult model bows are manufactured with a Parallel Limb design to optimize performance.

Risers - Parker machines each riser from lightweight aluminum for strength and functionality. While these risers may not look as fancy as some of the competition, they get the job done every time.
