Slash Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 Has anybody ever heard of a Mcpherson bow? My buddy has one that I was going to buy before I decided to buy my Martin Tracer. I've looked online and can't really find much information about the Mcpherson. Any info you could share would be appreciated. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michiganbowhunter_SQ2 Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 McPherson bows are a line owned by Mathews owner/founder Matt McPherson. He sold the name back in the late 80s early 90s and just recently bought them back. I believed they were owned by Pearson,not positive though. I'm not sure of any previous years models, but the new Monster bow is a Mcpherson line put out by Mathews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slash Posted March 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 HMM, I've seen the monster, killer looking bow. I did read that Pearson and Mcpherson joined, not sure when though. So in a sense, the Mcpherson would be a Mathews? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slash Posted March 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 I should mention that the bow my friend has is at least 3 years old, probably older though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NY_Bowhunter14 Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 McPherson is basially a Matthews bow, just like Reflex is made by Hoyt... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitetail Freak Hunter Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 The merger was quite a few years ago. http://www.fastestbows.com/press/2002/pearson_mcpherson_merge.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michiganbowhunter_SQ2 Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 (edited) McPherson is basially a Matthews bow, just like Reflex is made by Hoyt... Not exactly. I think you might be thinking of the Mission line. The older Mcpherson bows were from Matts first company. He sold it, then started todays Mathews company in 1991. Hoyts Relfex, and Bowtechs Diamond are brands put out by those companies, like Mission is a brand put out by Mathews. The Mcpherson is still a Mathews brand bow, but it is a line or series of bows, not brand, with Solocam being their main line.

Using cars as an example, Chevy makes the cavalier and the camaro, ford makes the escort and the taurus. Mathews makes the switchback XT and the reezen 6.5 so years ago before the merger of Mcpherson and Pearson, what Mcpherson "model" did Mcpherson come out with? http://www.michigan-sportsman.com/forum/archive/index.php/t-143847.html Edited March 25, 2009 by Slash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
