“Catch Us If You Can!”
McPherson started making recurve and compound bows in the early 70’s. Many designs and years later, McPherson decided to take one of his newest innovations; the Inner Cam (patented 1985), and started McPherson Archery. The company was sold in 1989 and in 1992 Mathews, Inc. was born.
In addition to a lifelong passion for the sport and boundless energy, McPherson had one major advantage: an invention that would revolutionize the archery industry.

McPherson leads the research and development team and has produced nearly 100 patented (and patent pending) innovations including the Harmonic Damping System™, Zebra® ZS Twist Bowstrings and the V-lock Zero Tolerance Limb Cup System.
