Good question.... they do put the American Flag on their Bow, well at least mine has it on there! I would have to say the more made in the USA the better!

You should have watched Dead Down Wind's American Archer with Tom Nelson a couple weekends ago...

Tom was actually allowed to show more on t.v. than I would have thought, albeit being escorted closely.They showed almost every step along the manufacturing process, from the water jets that cut the aluminum billet into indivdual risers to the film dipping done at the Waterdog facility.

Oh... in case you didn't know, it was filmed in Eugene, Oregon... right here in the good ol' US of A.

I'm not 100% sure about all the parts, but I am confident enough to say that they are. There was a show on the outdoor channel a couple weekends ago that showed the process of how they made bowtech bows. It showed in pretty good detail how they were made tho.

Yep, great show, I have it on the DVR still! The water jets explanation was pretty cool, said it would cut the tank in half if the pool wasn't deep enough!!!!!! Thats some serious cuttin power!

I can tell! I had to break one the other day because it had a crack in it and that was only because I was hitting with tight groups! I hate to have to do this but I am probably going to have to fork over the extre dough for the Carbon Express.
