The NZAP Team
Susan


Susan is the brains behind the operation and spends most of her time answering the phone, greeting customers who visit our showroom, doing the books, and trying her best to keep the other members of the team out of trouble.




Jim


Jim (Our Founder) is semi retired and only works half days (6AM to 6PM) but don't worry, he is still foundering.








Derek



Derek
is a former NZ Longbow National Champion a keen bowhunter and a familiar face at the bowhunter tournaments. He is also an accomplished shot with his compound and is particularly interested in getting new people introduced to the sport. Derek will be helping out on weekends with sales, beginner training and any other way his multiple talents are needed.




Laurie Staig



Laurie is our fletch master, chief arrow maker and string maker. He can spin one of the prettiest Flemished bowstrings you will see anywhere. Laurie's primary interest is in medieval archery and he is a noted authority on armaments from the middle ages.






Peter


Peter our shop manager, is is another familiar face on the bowhunter tournament circuit. He is also one of the top bow mechanics in New Zealand (if Peter can't tune it, it can't be tuned!) and is equally at home with traditional recurves and longbows as he is with the latest compound bow. In the photo (that's him on the right) he is hard at work at the ATA show in Columbus, Ohio USA.



Lindy


Lindy
is continuing her quest to bring order out of chaos and get our new stockroom under control finalising the transition to our computer based inventory-control system. With over 2500 items on the shelves and a stock list that is growing by an average of 18 new listings every month, she has her work cut out for her. Lindy is a newcomer to archery and still considers herself a beginner, but wants to further explore the FITA style of target archery.



Sarah


Sarah is an official NZAP Field representative. You have probably seen her at any number of field archery and bowhunter tournaments all over the North Island. Sarah's job is to act as NZAP liaison with our North-Island customers, so if you run into Sarah at an archery event, feel free to let her know about any issues you might have with our service or product line. Sarah is also an internationally published author, in spite of her young age, and many accounts of her bowhunting adventures have appeared in magazines on both side of the Tasman.



Nelson





Nelson the archery Dog Actually Nelson has no interest in archery whatsoever, but does a champion job of checking out new customers and visitors to the shop and keeping the area clear of cats and hedgehogs. (Nelson loves new customers but hates cats and hedgehogs.)

The NZAP Mission


New Zealand Archery Products is dedicated to bringing quality archery merchandise to the New Zealand bowhunter and target archer at the best possible price. We do not have a store but our workshop with a small showroom is located in the Craft Habitat Building in Richmond, just outside of Nelson. Feel free to stop by anytime either to view our merchandise or to sit for a spell and have a chat. You are also welcome to have a shot or two in our small but functional indoor range. This range is not open to the public but is used by Paul for coaching and lessons. However, when Paul isn't using it, it is available to customers for sighting in bows or trying out new equipment. Our nominal hours are 10 to 5 weekdays and on alternate Saturday. However, it is an excellent idea to ring first.

Our inventory is constantly under development so the merchandise and prices herein are subject to change without notice. Also, we are constantly adding items to our catalogue in response to demand and to expand our offerings. Thus, both our printed catalogue and our web site are constantly out of date and popular items are sometimes out of stock. When this happens, we will do everything we can to honour the posted price and order the item in for you as quickly as we can. When we can't honour the posted price, we will order the item for you at the best price we can find. All of our stock comes from the USA and from Australia so delivery of out-of-stock items and special orders can take several weeks. All NZAP prices include GST except thos going to other countries. We try to ship most items that we have in stock on the day we receive the order. Arrows and strings that are custom made, and bows that have to be adjusted and set up will generally be shipped within three days.

We are here to serve you so if there is something you need that is not on the list or if you have any questions at all please ring one of the NZAP team on 03 538 0511 in the Nelson area. Outside the Nelson area, use our new Freephone 0508 ARCHERY (0508 272 4379), or click HERE to send us an email. We will be delighted to hear from you.
