The company was founded by a former Ohio resident named H. M. Brading, who enlisted the financial support of three Evansville car dealers to start his small business. Initially, Indian Archery and Toy focus largely on archery equipment, but also made and sold "toys" such as "bat-minton" sets, darts, dart games, and stilts through catalogs and jobbers. In 1928, there were 22 employees assembling bow and arrow sets by hand and shipping them as far away as Switzerland, Denmark, Australia, New Zealand, and China. The Great Depression stunted, but did not kill, Indian Archery and Toy's growth. The company struggled throughout much of the 1930s, its business severely crimped by the reluctance of many consumers to spend their dwindling dollars on recreational products. By the end of the decade, however, the economic climate began to improve and Indian Archery and Toy once again thrived. Larger offices were occupied by 1937, when fiberglass bows were introduced and the company began manufacturing its own targets.
