About New Archery Products (NAP)
New Archery Products was founded in 1971 by Andy Simo, an aeronautical engineer who worked on the Saturn rocket at Lockheed and Boeing.
Simo combined his aerospace engineering expertise with his passion for bowhunting to create innovative archery equipment in his garage with his wife Cherie.
The company revolutionized the archery industry with breakthrough products like the Flipper Rest, the first broadhead to utilize stainless steel blades, and the legendary Thunderhead broadhead.
Andy Simo was inducted into the Archery Hall of Fame in 1999, standing alongside legendary names like Fred Bear and Ben Pearson as a founder of modern archery.
Today, NAP continues his legacy of innovation and quality, producing some of the most trusted broadheads, arrow rests, and archery accessories in the industry.
