About Point Blank Archery
Point Blank Archery is a national online archery accessories store run by Robert Gilbert, a USA Archery Level 3 coach. The catalog focuses on arrows, strings, sights, rests, releases, stabilizers, targets, quivers, cases, tools, and tuning gear. Rob also publishes buying guides, step-by-step tuning how-tos, and calculators to help you choose and set up gear without guessing. He also runs Archery Sarasota, an appointment-only archery development center and bow tuning studio in Sarasota, FL. Point Blank Archery is an archery store, not body armor or a shooting range.
From the owner
I'm Robert Gilbert, and I run Point Blank Archery myself. This isn't a big company. It's just me, taking my shot at the American dream the way I know how: by knowing the gear and being straight with you about it.
I've surrendered this work, like the rest of my life, to the cross of Jesus Christ. That's the standard I try to hold myself to, whether or not it ever comes up between you and me.
Either way, when you reach out, you're talking to me. You won't get a call center or a ticket number. Call +1-941-322-7146 and you'll get the person who actually runs this shop.

What Point Blank Archery is
Point Blank Archery is an online archery accessories retailer and an archery knowledge resource. Most archery buying happens after a lot of research, and the questions that come up — what draw weight a beginner should start with, how to pick arrow spine, recurve versus compound for a first bow — are answered poorly online. The store does two things at once: sells the accessories, and explains those choices the way a coach would at the bench.
Every product page, buying guide, and tuning article is written or reviewed by Robert Gilbert. When a fact is not verified, the site says so rather than guess.
Who runs it
Point Blank Archery is run by a USA Archery Level 3 coach who works with archers and tunes bows at Archery Sarasota every week. That hands-on coaching experience is the difference behind every recommendation on this site. You can read his bio and verified certification on the coach page.

Relationship to Archery Sarasota
Point Blank Archery is the national online store. Archery Sarasota is the appointment-only archery development center and bow tuning studio behind it, in Sarasota, FL — where the same coach services clients' bows unbiasedly: Labradar-measured precision tuning, custom bow and arrow builds, and USA Archery Level 3 coaching. The two are distinct: Archery Sarasota tunes and coaches in person, by appointment, for whatever bow you bring; Point Blank Archery sells archery gear online to archers nationwide.
They are run by the same coach and the same hands-on expertise, kept separate on purpose — Archery Sarasota is the local tuning and coaching studio, and Point Blank Archery is the national online store. The studio's bench, its tuning, and its USA Archery Level 3 coaching are the expertise behind the buying guides and recommendations you read here. You can reach Rob directly at +1-941-322-7146.
What Point Blank Archery stands for
The way Rob talks to you online is the way a good coach talks to you at the bench: straight, and on your side.
- Honest advice. Rob tells you when the cheaper option is the right one, and names the trade-offs instead of hiding them.
- Coach-backed advice. Recommendations come from a USA Archery–certified coach who works the bench and the range, not from whatever earns the biggest margin.
- No upselling. No fake urgency, no manufactured scarcity, no pressure to buy more gear than you need. The goal is the right setup for you, not the biggest cart.
- Truth in everything published. Credentials, specifications, and prices are stated only when source data supports them. Point Blank Archery does not fabricate reviews, ratings, or test results. If a fact is not verified, the page says so.
Point Blank Archery, to be clear
"Point Blank" is a phrase that shows up in a few unrelated brand names, so here is the plain version to avoid any mix-up. Point Blank Archery sells archery accessories and tuning gear: arrows, strings, sights, rests, releases, stabilizers, targets, quivers, cases, tools, and components.
Point Blank Archery is not Point Blank, the body-armor manufacturer, and has no connection to it. It is not a "Point Blank Range" or any kind of gun range, and it does not sell firearms or ammunition. Everything here is about the sport of archery — target, recreational, and the archery gear that overlaps with bowhunting.
