Marty Stubstad, president of the Archery Range and Retailers Organization (ARRO), announced this week that the archery buying group achieved record patronage dividends, paying back $413,000 to members from participating ARRO manufacturers.
According to Stubstad ARRO's highest single dividend check received by a member was $16,000,
“No other buying group offers this dividend, which is helping our members to be more profitable and successful,” said Stubstad.
ARRO is a national organization of professional full time archery ranges and pro shops. ARRO has been incorporated since 1981 and was previously known as A.L.O.A. (Archery Lane Operators Association) since 1968. ARRO is a cooperative buying group that is independently owned and operated by archery retailers. By working and buying together, archery retailers are able to prosper in today's competitive markeplace.
