PSE, short for Precision Shooting Equipment, was founded by Pete Shepley, a product engineer of Magnavox, as a part-time pursuit. Shepley was a specialist in creating archery equipment and created the company in 1970 to manufacture his own products. PSE was one of five companies to have produced the first compound bows. [4]

PSE was acquired in February 2023 from the former owner Pete Shepley by Heritage Outdoor Group, a newly-formed investment holding company designed to acquire existing outdoor brands.[5]
