The Bohning Company is one of the conerstones of today’s archery industry.
Bohning is committed to developing & marketing only the highest quality solutions for the problems experienced in the industries we serve. It is our company’s firm conviction that the benefits of growth & the confidence & respect of the people & firms we serve can only be achieved by maintaining or improving the quality of each & every Bohning product.
The Bohning Company was founded in 1946 by Rollin Bohning. He was a research chemist & avid archer who had become dissatisfied with the cements available to bond broadheads to hunting shafts. He developed Ferr-L-Tite™ adhesive for adhering hardware to wood & aluminum shafts. The product formulation has undergone several changes over the decades, but Ferr-L-Tite™ is still the industry standard today.
Throughout the late 1940s & early 1950s, Rollin Bohning continued to develop successful solutions for archers, including Doug Easton & Fred Bear, with whom he had become friends. Their collaboration led to the development of Bohning Fletch-Tite® Platinum™ fletching cement, a product so effective that nearly every archer has used it since its inception.
In the early 1970s, Rollin Bohning semi-retired from the growing company, & Colby & Martha Johnson became chief administrators. They guided the company throughout the 1970s & most of the 1980s, during which time Bohning Fletch-Tite® Vanes were introduced.
Larry Griffith became president of the company in 1987 when the Johnsons semi-retired.
Bohning vanes continued to evolve & in 2004 the Blazer® vane was invented. This vane has been the top vane on the market since its inception & continues to be the world’s #1 vane. True to its founding principles, The Bohning Company, Ltd. continues to innovate new products that help solve problems in the industries it serves. The company also maintains its longstanding commitment to excellence in customer service.
