Me and a buddy compared short bows a few years ago. We shot a UL31, a MQ32 and the other short one by mathews the SQ2 I think? Something like that. We also shot a Proline mountain and a Darton magnum 33. I shot the Force Multiplier as well, that goofy looking 3 cam bow that didn't quite catch on.

The parker was pretty nice we thought. The mathews had less vibration and recoil for sure, but it also weighed more, was slower and cost more. I actually liked the MQ32 and the price was about the same if remember correctly. No where near as fast and light as the parker however. I actually liked the UL31 more than I liked the Force Multiplier. The darton magnum and Proline bows were pretty nice as well. I'd say the Proline Mountain was in between the mathews and Parker and was cheaper yet.

I wouldn't have any trouble owning a UL31, I thought it was a pretty nice bow for the money. I would check out some of thier newer offerings for sure though.
