Blessed with an inventive
and restless mind, Jim Fletcher, early in his introduction to archery
starting making archery inventions to help his fellow archers. His
desire was to help his friends who became discouraged by inventing
archery products that would help their shooting. He has helped archers
world wide with the introduction of the string site that splits the
bowstring in half, the kisser button and the over-center trigger
mechanism release.
Jim and his wife Louise started shooting archery together as a
result of buying bows for each other as Christmas presents in 1949. Over
50 years later he is still active in the archery industry. Jim has been
a sponsor of many archery tournaments over the years and has helped
archery clubs maintain their ranges. He has been a member and officer of
several archery clubs and has contributed funds for building projects.
His help with handicapped archers has made archery an enjoyable sport
for all. His family continues the tradition of archery that Jim started.
