Easton is a long-standing name in sports / outdoor equipment, especially archery and related athletic gear. Its roots trace to Doug (James Douglas) Easton making bows and arrows from around 1922. Formal incorporation under manufacturing and broader sports product lines came later; the modern Easton Sports structures were built over decades. Easton expanded into aluminum arrow shafts in 1939 (innovating in materials) and later moved into baseball bats, hockey sticks, and composite gear. In 2020, Easton Diamond Sports announced a merger / acquisition deal with Rawlings to integrate and strengthen product synergies. Today, parts of Easton still focus on archery (Easton Archery) with divisions that specialize in carbon/fiber tubular products for sporting, industrial, and military applications.
