Manboy,
It's all about priorities with Marketing. You can spend your 2.5 million buying bigger building andmore equipment to keep up with the demand of the best bows on the market, or you can be a company with less demand for their brand of bows and spend your 2.5 million training a bunch of pretty boys to travel around the country shooting at targets all day.
I'm sure BowTech knows what they are doing. Once they get their fortress built, they will have time to play games and show off there bows in competition. Work first then play. Didn't your mom teach you anything?
Here ya go:
2.5 Million Dollar Expansion to Begin Immediately:
BowTech's CEO and President John Strasheim announced a $2.5 million expansion to the corporate facilities located in Eugene, Oregon.Construction begins immediately on a 15,000-Sq.-Ft. addition to the manufacturing building which will
house new horizontal machining centers valued at over $2,000,000. "The ability to mill our machined components in-house will have an immediate impact," stated Strasheim. "We will be more effective and more efficient. The increased control, combined with less reliance on outsourcing, will enable us to respond to dealer needs at a moment's notice."The second phase involves a 9,500-Sq. Ft. extension and remodel of the existing BowTech Factory Pro Shop. In addition to 3,800 remodeled Sq. Ft. of retail space, the new pro shop will feature a TechnoHuntª all-digital interactive archery simulator, a meeting/training center for upcoming BowTech Dealer Universities, local archery club meetings, and hunter safety and other specialty classes (GPS use, etc). The focal point will be a 30-yard indoor range with automatic pop-up and retractable 3D targets and a second-story loft for elevated shooting.General Manager, Dewayne Tiller, added

Our state-of-the-art expansion will be another step toward that goal, and will allow us the opportunity to share proven merchandising and marketing programs with our dealers."BowTech manufactures and distributes the world's finest compound bows and archery equipment.
