About Black Gold
Black Gold Archery manufactures bow sights in Belgrade, Montana, producing precision hunting sights and competition sights used by compound bow hunters and competitive archers who demand repeatable accuracy in the field.
Heritage & History
Black Gold Archery was founded in 1997 in Belgrade, Montana, developing bow sights for compound archers who wanted precise, durable, and lightweight options. The company built its reputation on sights that combined photochromatic pins — fiber optic pins that automatically adjust brightness based on ambient light — with machined aluminum construction that could withstand the vibration and impact of hunting use.
Belgrade sits in the Gallatin Valley near Bozeman, in the heart of Montana elk and deer country. That proximity to serious hunting gives Black Gold an authentic connection to the application its products serve. The company's hunters and engineers test sights in the field under real hunting conditions — ensuring that product performance reflects actual use.
Made in Belgrade, Montana
Black Gold manufactures bow sights at the Belgrade, Montana facility. The production process involves CNC machining of aluminum components, installation of fiber optic pins, assembly of windage and elevation adjustment mechanisms, and final calibration. The photochromatic pin technology — a distinctive Black Gold feature — involves lens systems that darken in bright conditions and lighten in low light, automatically optimizing pin visibility across different hunting environments.
Montana manufacturing supports jobs in a state where outdoor industries are central to the economy and culture. For compound hunters who want sights built in the same kind of country where they hunt — by a company whose employees live the hunting lifestyle — Black Gold's Belgrade facility provides not just gear but a shared perspective.
