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.

RE: mathews mq32 or parker ul 31?
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

RE: mathews mq32 or parker ul 31?
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.

RE: mathews mq32 or parker ul 31?
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 .
