About Us

Open Since 1996

The Downwind Archery Family

Downwind Archery is family owned and operated by Bud and Kathy Robinson. Since opening our doors in December of 1996, our focus has always been on excellent customer service to all.

Downwind Archery is a full service archery pro shop providing bows, arrows, and accessories for all archers—from the seasoned to the novice. Downwind Archery has always been a family friendly, kid friendly environment. We feel blessed to be able to offer our services and would not be here without the grace of God and the tremendous support we have received from the community over the years. Thank you and God bless.

Psalm 38:8 "tase and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him."

As the only tech certified Pro-shop in Southeast Idaho, we pledge the following guarantee:

If your bow is purchased from us, and breaks down during hunting season, and we can't have you back together within 24 hours. We will pull another bow off the wall of equal or greater value, install your accessories, tune it, sight it in, and this bow is yours to use until yours is repaired. This is in addition to the manufacturers warranty that your equipment has, which with the bow lines we carry are the best in the business.

We will also gladly repair or service any brand of bow, regardless of where it was purchased.

Children and adults alike can experience the health benefits of archery training, practice and competition. Archery increases muscle tone, improves both small and large muscle motor control and provides a good cardiovascular workout for everyone in the family. The challenge and excitement of archery competitions and practices ensure that students stay motivated and eager to participate in the activities and form sets presented in class. Our certified instructors are experts in providing confidence-building activities and support strategies for students at every stage of the learning process. Our classes are the perfect way to instill social skills and self-confidence that will carry over into other areas of everyday life.

Downwind Archery offers custom-designed programs for home-schooled children that provide comprehensive instruction in archery in a safe, wholesome environment. Finding the right physical education activities can be challenging for parents; we make it easy with classes designed to provide healthy exercise in a structured environment. Additionally, home-schooled children can participate in one of the competitive teams at Downwind Archery, allowing them to acquire the social skills and strategies necessary to work cooperatively with others. Archery is a lifetime sport, so early training can create the foundation for future achievement and growth.
