Why did the Defender last one year?

[Cougar Mag]

Going to a bow shop either this evening or tomorrow to shoot a Bowtech Defender, the guy has two of them and will switch out cams to fit my draw. They look like a nice bow and I was thinking of using it for 3D or hunting. My question is I wonder why Bowtech quit making this model after only one year? It looks like it would be great in a treestand.

went more parellel with the Tribute and added about 15 fps to it........Defender is a great bow and about $75 to $100 dollars cheaper
