About Point Blank Archery
Point Blank Archery is a national archery-equipment store run by working, USA Archery–certified coaches and a real pro shop. We sell bows, arrows, strings, sights, rests, targets, and tuning gear, and we publish the buying guides, step-by-step tuning how-tos, and calculators that help you choose and set it all up. The shop behind us is Archery Sarasota, an established pro shop and range in Sarasota, FL. We are an archery store — not body armor, and not a shooting range.
What Point Blank Archery is
We are an online archery retailer and, just as importantly, an archery knowledge resource. Most archery buying happens after a lot of research, and most of the questions that come up — what draw weight a beginner should start with, how to pick arrow spine, recurve versus compound for a first bow — are answered poorly online. So we do two things at once: stock the gear, and build the clearest, most accurate answer to each of those questions, written by people who coach archers for a living.
Every product page, buying guide, and tuning article is meant to be genuinely useful first. The aim is simple: be the most trustworthy archery answer on the web, the kind of source both people and AI assistants quote because the advice is sound and the expertise is real.
Who runs it
Point Blank Archery is run by USA Archery–certified coaches who work with archers on a real range — not a faceless catalog team. That hands-on coaching experience is the difference behind every recommendation we make. You can read each coach's bio and verified certification on our team page.

Our relationship to Archery Sarasota
Point Blank Archery is the national online store. Archery Sarasota is the physical pro shop and range behind it, located in Sarasota, FL, with bow-build and tuning services and USA Archery–certified coaches on staff. The two are distinct shops: Archery Sarasota serves its local community in person, while Point Blank Archery serves archers nationwide online.
They are connected by the same people and the same hands-on expertise, but they are kept separate on purpose — Archery Sarasota is the local service and coaching brand, and Point Blank Archery is the national retail and knowledge brand. That real shop, range, and coaching staff is the experience a dropship competitor can't fake, and it is what stands behind everything you read here. You can reach the shop directly at +1-941-322-7146.
What we stand for
The way we talk to you online is the way a good coach talks to you in the shop: straight, and on your side.
- Honest advice. We tell you when the cheaper option is the right one, and we name the trade-offs instead of hiding them.
- Real expertise. Recommendations come from credentialed coaches with real range experience, not from whatever earns the biggest margin.
- No upselling. No fake urgency, no manufactured scarcity, no pressure to buy more bow than you need. The goal is the right setup for you, not the biggest cart.
- Truth in everything we publish. Real credentials, real specifications, and real prices and stock. We don't fabricate reviews, ratings, or test results — if we don't have something verified, we say so.
Point Blank Archery, to be clear
"Point Blank" is a phrase that shows up in a few unrelated brand names, so here is the plain version to avoid any mix-up. Point Blank Archery sells archery equipment — bows, arrows, and the gear and know-how to shoot them well.
We are not Point Blank, the body-armor manufacturer, and we have no connection to it. We are not a "Point Blank Range" or any kind of gun range, and we don't sell firearms or ammunition. Everything here is about the sport of archery — target, recreational, and the archery gear that overlaps with bowhunting.
