Default G-5 and Ross

Ok there is a recent post about it not looking good for Ross Archery. This may of been already said by few who know, but to be honest I did not read through all 12 pages of post. But this is the deal. G-5/Grace Engineering manufactured all of the limbs and cams for Ross Archery. G-5 has been expanded there product line quite a bit... Broadheads, sights, rests, strings, the only next step would be a bow. They have the known how already and the learning curve is pretty much set, it was just a matter of time. But before you write off G-5 remember they have been producing all the material for Ross for several years now. And they did not steal the ideas for Ross they created there own version. Much like how Mathews started the "parallel limb" and then PSE made there version and now it is tough to find a bow that is not some short of parallel limb design. Maybe this clears it up or makes it dirty... And this is just my understanding of the situation.

The story from G-5 is that they had a lot of inventory that was made for Ross. I guess there were some payment issues, for what reason it has not been disclosed, but there a plenty of rumors coming from guys on both sides of the line. G-5 decided that since they had a bunch of Ross parts (risers), they would put them to use in the form of their own bow. I have been following this story pretty carfully, and the only things I am taking into account are what comes out of Andy and Angie Ross or those whom have spoken directly with them, as well as the folks from G-5, anything else is just hear-say.
