ATA and "Black's Archery & Bowhunting Annual Buyer's Directory" renew agreement for fifth straight year to provide ATA members industry contact information, which includes online directory access from www.archerytrade.org.

The Archery Trade Association has again selected "Black's Archery & Bowhunting Annual Buyer's Directory" as its official guide to the archery industry because the 144-page manual is comprehensive and easily navigated, according to Denise Jordan, ATA communications manager.

"We're pleased to again have the Black's directory as our official guide," Jordan said. "This directory continues to provide important industry information in an easy-to-use package. The incredible amount of work Grand View Media devotes to the directory is reflected in the outcome. I know the Black's directory is a handy desk reference for all ATA staffers, and throughout the industry. We certainly appreciate that everyone using the Black's directory can quickly identify their fellow ATA members and recognize their support for growing archery and bowhunting."

Lee Hetherington -- group publisher of the Black's Sporting Directories, Bowhunting World and Archery Business - commented, "We're proud to be named the official directory of the industry. Each year we strive to improve and enhance the value of our product and 2008 is no different. Together with the ATA, we're excited to provide the most comprehensive directory resource available to ATA members. It's a strong partnership that adds value and benefit to everyone in the industry."

Jordan said Grand View does a thorough, accurate job gathering contact information from the industry's many companies and extensive product lines, and then assembles it into a user-friendly publication. Information in the Black's Directory is also available online at the ATA's website, www.archerytrade.org.

"This is the fourth year we have placed the directory online, an added benefit to ATA members that brings industry information to them even when they aren't carrying the actual publication," Jordan said. "Doing business in today's world means accessing information with the touch of a few buttons. ATA is pleased to offer its members critical information from just about anywhere."

The directory's contact and product-line information is categorized and cross-referenced in a thorough index. The 144-page, 8.5x11-inch publication includes website listings, a calendar of events, a list of current ATA retailers and other helpful resources for industry members.
