Gearfire Closes Technology Gap for Archery Retailers, Debuts at the 2026 ATA Show

 

 

Gearfire, a proven leader in shooting sports retail technology, will attend the Archery Trade Association (ATA) Show in Indianapolis, January 7-8, 2026, to showcase technology solutions designed to remove the long-standing obstacles preventing archery retailers from competing effectively in today's digital retail environment.

For years, archery retailers have struggled to modernize due to limitations in software functionality and data refinement. Forward-thinking archery retailers have long been seeking reliable, purpose-built solutions for these challenges. In response to this growing demand, Gearfire has expanded capabilities designed to close these technological gaps.

Chad Seaverns, Gearfire's Chief Operating Officer, noted that the archery retail sector has often been overlooked by mainstream technology providers, recognizing this oversight as both a responsibility to his existing shooting sports clients and an opportunity to help an underserved segment of the broader outdoor sports community.

Seaverns explained, "From time to time, some of our shooting sports retailers had asked us to expand our service and support into the archery segment. As we looked at the request more closely, it became clear that archery-only retailers have largely been left without technology built for their needs and too often have been forced to rely on generic, one-size-fits-some systems that largely come up short."

He continued, "Archery retailers deserve the same level of dedicated functionality and support that our firearm retailers already enjoy. We believe they require technology tools designed for the way they truly operate, and I'm proud to say that we have now made that a reality."
