I am not well informed on the MathewsMQ32, and I have never tried it so I couldnt say ya or na to it but I can give you a big thumbs up on the Parker Ultra Lite 31, Ive been shooting one for a while now for 3D and hunting and the UL31 and the company have surpassed my highest expectations.;) Parker also backs their bows with a lifetime warrenty and a top notch customer service department.

I have shot both & they are both great bows..... I have had my Parker UL-31 for a couple years and can't say enough good things about it. I to have a 30 in. draw & had serious concerns about string angle, but my brother talked me into trying one & I have not had one problem shooting this bow.... for some reason I can shoot this thing like there is no tomorrow, very accurate, pretty fast & to carry this bow around is a real joy ( very light ).... I am shooting mine set @ 64#'s with acc 3-39's - 125 grain steelforce's and it spits them out like darts.....

I do have to say it took awhile to get used to carrying around a bow that my arrows were almost as long as... lol and when I bought it my wife thought that I bought it for my son who was 10 at the time, the look on here face when I told her it was mine was priceless, " That is a kids bow " lol

Great bows, either one.... try them both & good luck

Ive owned both and they are both great, but..... I thought the Parker was more critical to small mistakes in my form or other things I did. I shot both bows a lot from 3-D, to hunting, indoor,anything I could but I just always shot the Matthews better than the Parker. Dont think the Parker is a bad bow, I still got 2-3 inch groups out to 30 yards, but the Matthews always would group arrows touching one another out to 40-50 yards.

I've had my UL 31 for a year now. It's fast, quiet and accurate...and I absolutely love it. I really come to appreciate the short axle length and the light weight...makes those long days on stand go much easier.

Alot of mathews guys say the mq 32 was the best bow mathews ever made . If you get a good deal on it Id say go for it , I think they have discontinued that model so that sould be barganing power for you . Nothing wrong with a parker either they are very nice looking bows . If your paying anywhere near original price I'd look for a bow with the newer technolgy of a hybred designed cam , but thats me some are happy with their single cams .
