Pats Archery

Pioneer Archery Designs got its start in 2014 when two teammates were discussing how stabilizers can change the way a bow reacts. As the series of conversations broadened to vibrations, stabilization theory, and gaps in the archery industry, Zach Garrett and Joe Fanchin became excited about the idea of developing a company unlike anything in the market. 

Over the next year, the duo spent countless hours designing and testing Pioneer Archery Designs’ first product line: RamRods. By the end of 2015, prototypes of RamRods half–inch diameter stabilizer were being used in competitions by Garrett and several other archers at the highest international level.

As demand for the company’s RamRods increased, Garrett and Fanchin looked into designing products beyond stabilizers. The two were excited to dedicate the future of the company to pioneering innovative archery products and making archery experts’ technical advice available to the public. 

In 2016 Josh Smith, another teammate of Fanchin and Garrett, joined the team. Smith and Fanchin have taken over RamRods Archery. Together they are developing and launching new products, exhibiting RamRods lines at trade shows, and expanding business into international markets.
