About B.U.P. Sports
The catch phrase in the hunting industry seems to be "the next hunt begins with the last one ends" or some variation. We believe that with archery hunters, the next hunt has begun during previous hunts. We learn and grow each time we hunt and yes, we daydream about the next chance we have to enjoy what nature has provided. Between investigating that twig snap or the gut feeling that something is there, we take time to plan our next trip to the woods, observe the behavior of the game and think about past hunts and what we've learned from them.

The truth is that the archer is a special breed. We walk instead of drive so we can look for sign even in the off season. We scout when the bugs could carry us away. We go for months without scented soaps; detergents, and colognes. While others are spending their off season recreational time on other sports, we are shooting 3D and leagues. It is this kind of passion and commitment that drives us to come up with unique and better sporting goods. Based in Minnesota, the company proudly manufactures all of its products in the USA.
