🏹 An Ozarks Innovation That Changed Archery 🏹

Did you know the compound bow—one of the most important innovations in archery—was invented in Billings, Missouri?

In 1966, Holless Wilbur Allen revolutionized the sport by designing a bow that used pulleys and cables to increase power and accuracy while reducing strain. His invention didn’t just change archery—it sparked a multi-billion-dollar industry, with compound bows now used worldwide in hunting, competition, and recreation.

This small-town innovation put Billings, MO, and Christian County on the map in the world of outdoor sports and manufacturing. Today, the legacy of innovation continues as Christian County remains a place where ideas take shape and industries grow.
