It all started 40 years ago…
One man's decision to pick up a recurve bow set in motion a chain of events that would dramatically impact the face of archery.
That man was Tim Strickland and from the moment he picked up that bow in the fall of 1970, archery became one of the driving forces in his life.
It started in the mountains and foothills out west with the pursuit of elk and mule deer. It continues to this day, as he likes nothing better than to outfox whitetail bucks, bears, red stags and other big game around the world.
Tim's quest for archery challenges then drew him into the world of competitive shooting. His mark in that arena is considerable: two world and ten national titles.
As Tim's success in archery grew, so did his love of the sport. He felt compelled to help others have success shooting a bow. That goal has manifested itself in three areas:
Coach/Teacher
It started on a small scale, instructing local youth. It ended on the biggest stage of all, where archers coached by Tim received Olympic gold. His desire to share his wealth of archery knowledge continued, as he was privileged to author the shooting curriculum for the National Archery in the Schools Program.
Television Host
In 2008, Tim started Strickland's Archery Adventures Television (originally New Age Outdoors). He's goal was – and continues to be – to use the medium of television to reach a large number of passionate archers; to teach his insights into hunting and shooting; and to provide an entertaining show.
Manufacturer
The final step in his goal to help others have success in archery was to develop a series of products designed to help shooters and hunters reach their full potential. With the help of some top engineers, bowyers and students of archery, Tim put his experience to good use to develop a line of products designed to be the best. Featuring The Helix Arrowhead and The Stick line of traditional bows, Strickland’s Archery lives up to its motto: "Innovation…40 Years in the Making."
