From what I' ve seen at the Bass Pro near me, is that they know a little about everything, and nothing about a whole lot. A local shop told me that someone brought in a bow that Bass Pro had put a new string on. They didn' t have the right size, so they put a longer string on, and wrapped the extra several times around the peg. It' s a neat store to go to, but when I want professional help, I go to Len' s.
Mathews does not own Parker. Mathews developed the Genisis bow, and it is marketed under Mathews, Parker, and True Flight.
I may be wrong, but I believe that Mathews was licensing out there cam, to High Country and others, long before Parker was around.
