Since 1996, Pyramyd AIR has been known for selling airguns — in fact, that’s what “Air” originally meant in the company name. When the company started its expansion into all types of outdoor gear in 2023, “Air” became AIR —  Adventures In Recreation. Pyramyd AIR has the largest selection of airguns in the world and is the largest airgun retailer in the world, but these days, they have much more to offer than airguns, including archery, optics, all kinds of range gear and shooting gear, and more. Among their most innovative offerings is the Complete Bow Setup and arrow-cutting services, which should interest all bowhunters.

While many hunters and shooters enjoy the personal touch of a local archery pro shop, a lot of us would be just as happy to do our shopping online from home. Now, thanks to Pyramyd AIR’s Complete Bow Setup service, you actually can. Pyramyd has built a virtual pro shop with a wide variety of popular bows in stock, from brands including PSE, Bear Archery, Darton Archery, Diamond Archery, Hoyt and more.

The patented process is simple. You’ll start by picking out a bow. You input your draw weight and draw length, and here’s part of the key that makes this work: If you don’t know those measurements, Pyramyd provides a simple video and a calculator right there on the dropdown menu that help you figure out your draw length. There’s also a handy chart recommending what draw weight is typical based on your age, experience and gender. Do you want Pyramyd’s ATA-certified technicians to determine the height of your peep sight, or would you rather provide your own custom measurement? Either way, instructions and a helpful video are right there to help you get the right measurement.

Now, about arrows. Pyramyd cuts them free, so select the arrows you want and then decide whether you want them cut to your own specs (a length you tell them, to the ¼-inch) or let their experts decide, in which case they’ll cut them ½-inch past the riser based on your draw length and bow configuration. If you’re relatively new to bowhunting or you just don’t know what arrows will go best with your bow and your particular intended use, Pyramyd can help with that, too. Just measure your draw length and let them know the draw weight of your bow and the weight of the tips you’ll be shooting, and they’ll recommend the proper arrows with the correct spine. It’s a tremendously helpful service for experienced and novice archers alike, and it’s unique in the industry. “As far as I know, nobody else in the world is doing that,” says Pyramyd’s Ron Duecker.

Pyramyd’s bow technicians will also cut the arrows for you for free if you’re buying a bow. If you’re buying arrows separately, they’ll cut them to your specified length for just $1 per arrow.

Pyramyd’s technicians configure your bow and arrows to match the specs in your order, with the draw length and weight you requested. They’ll tie in your d-loop and peep sight and mount all the accessories you added, following manufacturer specs or your own setup preferences. And then they paper-tune the bow to make sure it performs as it should before shipping it to you. You should have it in a matter of days, fully set up and with your top sight pin sighted in to be on target at 20 yards. You just need to make the final adjustments to be inside the bull’s-eye based on your shooting style and adjust your other pins to the distances that you desire.

Did we mention that this service is free? That even includes follow-up support after you get the bow in your hands, and shipping is free, too.

The process is fast and seamless — you get pro-shop results and expertly cut arrows without actually having to go to the pro shop. Pyramyd’s Complete Bow Setup service offers an extremely effective alternative to the in-person pro-shop experience, with full-service bow and arrow setup from the comfort of your couch. And they’ve taken all the guesswork out of arrow selection to help you get dialed in and ready to hunt.
