Simo,  I was talking with Joel Scholtz last weekend and he has told
me that they were bought out by another company.  Sorry, don't remember
the name....but I'm sure we will hear soon.

I called my contact at Beman Archery, USA to check this out, and he
confirmed that they had a new owner, and as far as he knew the name would
stay the same. In the process of the ownership change they had filed a
bankruptcy procedure to attempt to shed some of the debt.. I was told that
the company was basically heathy, and that the new infusion of $$ would
allow for new/upgraded machinery and better production capabilities.. He
also said that the kite division would expand its scope..
