LP Archery Products, LLC was founded by Larry J. Popa of Wyoming, MI in 2001. Larry attended Michigan Technological University in Houghton, MI and Northwestern Michigan College in Traverse City, MI. He studied Mechanical Engineering and Solar Energy Technology, from 1980 through 1985.
In November of 1985, Larry moved to Denver, CO where he was employed as a contract designer. In 1993, Larry moved back to Michigan and began designing internal and external components for construction industry lasers. At that point, he got back into archery and began attending local and national archery shoots. He saw the need for a light-weight bow kickstand that could easily be carried and tucked away. Eight months later he introduced the Pro-POD at the 2001 ATA show. Within 6 months, Larry ended up leaving his current engineering job and began devoting all his engineering efforts on LP Archery Products.
In 2003 the Pro-Light DX was first seen on the tournament circuit and due to its incredible success and archer demand, it has become one of the more common accessories for archers. In 2009, a new building for LP Archery Products was built. It was designed for maximum efficiency and future products growth.
Following up on the Pro-Light DX, Larry began designing a High-End hunting sight, called the Pro-SITE. After initial field tests and suggestions from top archers and bow hunters, Larry is continuing to make refinements. Be watching for this new hunting sight, that combines competition sight features, 3 adjustable fixed pins and a movable scope, into one ULTIMATE Hunting Sight. This new sight will set the bar high- so check out an early proto-type at the LPA trailer at a national ASA or IBO archery tournament. And be sure to watch for our next innovative archery product coming soon.
