Parker Compound Bows
Quick History
Parker Compound Bows Inc was originally founded in 1984 under the name Nationwide Archery. The company's founder, Robert Errett, is a former employee of Bear Archery and friend of the famed Fred Bear. Nationwide Archery grew to become a major player in the archery world and in 2003 became Parker Compound Bows Inc. The influence from Fred Bear and Bear Archery is still obvious today in the design of Parker bows. The growth and success of Parker can be accredited to the consistent output of high quality products and unequalled customer service. read more
