Setting sights high – Washington company, Martin Archery Inc., in Walla Walla has made a name for itself in archery circles

Bo and Luke Duke used them in the "Dukes of Hazzard" and will again in an upcoming movie based on the old television series.

Actor Patrick Swayze used one in "Red Dawn," the 1984 movie about Colorado high-schoolers fighting Soviet invaders.

They were also used in the target-shooting scene in last year’s "Princess Diaries 2" and will show up once more in the still-in-production sequel to "The Scorpion King."

The local celebrities are bows made by Walla Walla-based Martin Archery Inc., a 54-year-old company that also has a manufacturing plant in Yakima.

Outside of archery circles, few people have heard of the company. But the products have been seen worldwide, operations manager Ryan Martin says.
