Advanced Archery, your only stop for all of your archery needs

 

About Us

Advanced Archery is owned and operated by husband and wife team Carol and Kevin Watson who between them have over 40 years experience in archery. It is this depth of experience that allows them provide to you with the benefits of this expertise. Advanced Archery supplies archery equipment to archers and hunters all over New Zealand.

Regular trips to the United States ensure that Kevin and Carol are kept up-to-date with advances in equipment. These visits to manufacturers and trade shows provide the opportunity to evaluate the latest products on offer and their suitability for New Zealand conditions. New products are rigorously tested by the staff shooters and if the products don't measure up, Advanced Archery don't stock them.

Carol is a five times NZBS (New Zealand Bowhunting Society) ladies champion, and is only the fourth woman to have shot deer and the first we believe to take a tahr with a bow in New Zealand.

Kevin has taken many big game animals including chamois, deer and pig and is a three times NZBS champion.

You have the opportunity to share in Kevin's bowhunting adventures in the "NZ Outdoor" and bowhunting tips from Carol in "NZ Hunter" magazines. Designed to entertain and educate bowhunters and archers, these articles provide great tips gleaned from their years of bowhunting experience and also introduce you to the Advanced Archery staff shooters and their successes.
