About the Company and its people.
Magnum Archery has started back in 1991. A small business that was run from home has become a dominant force in the archery industry in Africa. Magnum Archery is currently the biggest archery supplier in South-Africa. In 2005 we have opened Archery Warehouse, an affiliate company of us. Archery warehouse is still serving archers from all over with world class product. Dale Yeager is the shop manager at Archery Warehouse and is an experienced archer packed with knowledge that is hard to find. He has more than 30 years of archery experience and has numerous national and international titles behind his name.
In 2007, a new venture was born in Pretoria. Just outside Pretoria on a scenic 15 minutes drive, you will find Magnum Archery Academy. On a farm with beautiful landscapes, it offers archers ranges to practice and compete on. A well stocked shop offers all archers to escape from the city and to come for a fun filled day on the shooting range and to get all the bits and pieces fixed and ready for the next hunt.
Magnum Archery is a proud supporter of Archery South-Africa. We are Major sponsors of ABO, SABA and sponsor many shooters in the SANAA and SANIFAA field.
