Look around the hunting world these days, and it feels like everything’s made somewhere else. Lower labor costs, container ships full of knockoff gear, and global factories have flooded the shelves with products stamped from everywhere except here.

But Easton? Different story.

Easton still proudly stamps Made in the USA on their arrows. That’s not some marketing line, it’s a fact. Their shafts roll off the line in Salt Lake City, Utah, which is the only dedicated arrow factory still in this country.

This July, as part of their America Month push, Easton is reminding bowhunters exactly where their arrows come from and why it ought to matter to folks who care about what they carry afield.

“We set out to provide the highest quality, USA-made arrows for all types of archery, to instill maximum confidence when an archer draws their bow,” said Gary Cornum, Easton’s Marketing Director.

Confidence is everything in the woods. But Easton is about more than that. It’s a century of tradition, grit, and American craftsmanship that’s been holding steady for over 100 years.

Easton’s roots? Like many great American companies, hard work, stubbornness, and a garage.

In 1922, Doug Easton started handcrafting wood arrows in Watsonville, California, chasing something better for himself and other archers. By 1929, he had a small archery shop in Los Angeles and a reputation for building premium, consistent arrows that worked when needed.

Then he changed the game.

Tired of the inconsistency in wood shafts, Doug pioneered aluminum arrows in 1939. It wasn’t perfect overnight, but by 1949, Easton’s aluminum arrows were winning national championships. The 24SRT X shaft? Absolute game changer.

The 1950s brought the XX75, the arrow that arguably put Easton on bowhunters’ maps everywhere. And decades later, they did it again, rolling out carbon and hybrid carbon aluminum arrows, which still dominate Olympic podiums and serious hunting camps today.

In a world where most gear is shown up by the container load, Easton planted its roots firmly here. Their Salt Lake City factory and operations in Indiana keep American workers building, testing, and packing arrows that find their way into bow cases and backcountry hunts across this country.

Look, it’s not just about waving the flag. American-made means better quality control, better materials, and confidence when that moment of truth shows up at full draw.

Easton could have packed up and gone overseas like many companies did. They didn’t, which still means something to folks like us.

That’s why this July, during American Month, they’re putting the spotlight on what goes into every arrow they make, because it isn’t by accident.
