PERRIS ARCHERY STORY

Perris Archery is a Certified Beiter Dealer

New armguard from Flex buy it here

Dear Perris Archery I have just read your article on choosing new arrows and, for all those out there who are tempted to order over the internet, don’t! I was at the Braintree branch under a month ago thinking I wouldn’t mind buying a set of X10s….until Tony took me aside. Not only did he save me well over £100 by recommending ACC's, he also spent nearly two hours preparing them for me (including standing me in the range and making me fire unfletched arrows to find the correct spine) and then reminding me of the basic technique that he, after all, had taught me in the first place, and then allowing me to spend more time on my own in the range testing out the new arrows. I cannot recommend Perris Archery high enough (and it’s not just Tony, it’s everyone) for their professionalism, their friendly and expert service, and their sheer and obvious love of archery. If the shop had not closed (and if my partner had not returned from the nearby designer village) I would have stayed there all night.- Many, many thanks. JE

Hi guys,

Just a big thank you for helping me select all the correct goodies when I came to you recently. Derek was the most patient of people, carefully guiding me through everything I required with no bias towards the more expensive kit and I fully appreciate the time spent with all the help and advice (free as well), I have already returned to your Aladdin's cave in Braintree and will always continue to do so. What more could a budding novice require!!!!!! again many thanks. .

"Having just purchased my BMG/Kap Recurve I can only say how impressed I was with the friendly, patient and professional attention I received. There was never any sense of hurry and spending nearly 3 and a 1/2 hours choosing and testing was a very enjoyable experience. Now the proud owner of some fine equipment 100% happy! I have no hesitation in recommending your service and shall be a regular visitor! Thank you".
Mr. T from Herts

The Perris Archery Story

When time permits we be putting together the history of Perris Archery. We hope that it will be of interest to archers and provide a greater insight in to our experience in all matters archery. Which is all put to good use when you visit us.

To start things off, attached is a brochure about our famous Perris Whitehart Bow. Which perhaps a testament to it's design and build quality is still highly regarded and shot by a number of archers all over the world today, some 25 years since it was launched. In it's hey day, especially all over the Southeast there was not a weekend competition somewhere, where the winner was not shooting a Perris Whitehart.

The brochure also includes some technical data, which may be of interest to anyone who has recently acquired one of these bows, as they still command a good price on auction sites like ebay.

Sadly, production of the Perris Whitehart ceased just over 3 years ago, not because of a lack of demand but because it was not possible to get the limbs manufactured to our exact specifications. So it was felt it would be better not to continue with what we would consider to be an inferior product. If you ever get the chance to handle, or even better shoot one you will then understand what all the fuss was about.

The Perris Whitehart

5/2/2011 - Thought I would share this email with you

FAO Tony and Suzanne Preston

Dear Tony / Suzanne,

I was just looking over your website when I came across the following mention of your Whitehart:

Although I was devastated to hear that its no longer in production, I just thought you'd like to know that there's one still up and running in Suffolk. Inspired by Rob Markham's apparently faultless shooting with his Whitehart, I bought mine (a sliver and black, 66", 34 lbs with the Sherwood TFC limb bolts) second-hand from a chap called Mitch Vaughan when we were both shooting for Mayflower Archers in 1992 or 1993. Just after I bought it, you were kind enough to help me set it up with a set of ACCs and a set of aluminium Arten stabilisers plus a Spigarelli Grand Prix sight. I think that this was in the shop that you used to have (still have?) in or near Capel St Mary.

I've replaced the longrod, V-Bars and mono with Arten carbons, but aside from that this is the same set-up I was shooting in the early 1990s (even the arrows - 1 Doz, refletched and re-nocked, but otherwise intact). This took me all the way through Uni (Southampton 1994 - 7) including a few BUSA events and local tournaments down-South, and is now still performing well (527 on the British Archer Portsmouth last Tuesday) as I shoot at Deben AC near Ipswich (this is a weird experience, as I went from Mayflower where every second person had one, to Deben where mine is the only one....). Inevitably I probably will buy another new bow at some point (and destroy any hope I ever had of achieving any decent scores in the process, I've no doubt), but I just thought you'd like to know this Whitehart's still going strong. Even if I ever do buy a new bow, talk of Ebaying mine fills me with a sense of dread! I don't think I'll ever be able to give it up! Thank you; this bow has given me years of pleasure and remains one of the nicest bows I've ever shot.
