We've been making arrows or products for fletching them for about 50 years now.

It all began with the Ol' Codger - that would be Dad - who rented a corner of a dilapidated cowbarn and started building the equipment that would one day crank out one wood arrow shaft after another. One of his favorite stories is about the first shipment he made to a fellow in New York. The feedback of that first delivery said that the archery industry is small enough that good news would travel fast. And news about a bad product would travel even faster.

So Dad learned one of the hardest lessons right off the bat, kept pursuing his vision and was able to support his small army of a family with the business. Oh, yeah, we all got our turns working at the "Salt Mine," as he so affectionately called it.

There have been a lot of changes since those days of stacking cedar planks for the dryroom. Our history includes machining golf putters and rescue equipment and we have successfully supplied all the aluminum components for a top-of-the-line car top carrier company. But archery is our home, our core business.

Our vanes are used worldwide by everyone from beginners to the most seasoned competitor. You'll even find them at the Olympic training center these days. (Yep - in Red, White and Blue!) We've got the supplies and tools that make your fletching life easier, help your arrows fly truer, make your hunting season more successful.

Our latest new product line is the Fusion® Vanes. It's always our goal to make our products enhance your archery life, and we think the newest in our vane lineup serves that cause. Easy to fletch, quality flight characteristics, tough as your leather boots - you'll be spoiled for sure.

The next generation of StringTamers® have hit the market this year, too. Lighter, quieter, sexier. Doesn't that about say it all? The StringTamer® GII's real secret to a quiet shot is in our rubber baby buggy bumper (say THAT one five times really fast - we dare ya!).
