SURE-LOC®

1948 – 2007

SURE-LOC® delivers high quality, dependable and durable archery products to its customers world-wide. SURE-LOC® sights, scopes and bow presses represent the very essence of our motto––Nobody Does It Better! Every SURE-LOC® employee works diligently and meticulously to give archers and hunters the best product on the market. We pride ourselves in our continuing innovations and our attention to detail.

The company's initial manufacturing headquarters were in Steve Gibb's basement with friends and family building sights on a pool table. Soon thereafter the operation moved to his and Dianne's garage, complete with machining center and the company's first employee. Not long after C.S. Gibbs Corporation was established, Butch Johnson shot a SURE-LOC® sight in Barcelona and finished 18th individual and 6th in the team event. Later in 1996 in Atlanta he won the Gold Team with Rod White and Justin Huish. Justin Huish became our 1st Olympian shooter to win 2 gold medals.

Today, SURE-LOC® operates out of a facility in Superior, Wisconsin, where employees hand-assemble the renowned SURE-LOC® sights, making sure that each sight meets the rigorous standards set so many years ago. Because of this dedication to exceptional quality, SURE-LOC® Supreme sights have been awarded the Best Buy Award 9 consecutive years from Inside Archery magazine and the SURE-LOC® Lethal Weapon® received this honor in 2008.

Top archers, hunters, and archery shops around the world depend on the quality, precision and endurance of SURE-LOC® products to give them the edge needed for success.
