The shooters listed here have been ardent supporters of the Feather Visions line of products. We are both fortunate and proud to have these people lend their names and reputation to our lines. We have a few true sponsored shooters on many levels of competition, the rest have been long time fans and supporters and we want to thank them, and recognize them publicly. Without their support we would not have become the worlds leader in competitive archery lenses that we are today.
Thanks for your support-
