Default RE: Dealer dropped bowtech.

Straightarrow is spot-on on this one-- there could be a number of reasons as to why they dropped the line. Business decisions are made on just that, business, and not always on what happens to tweak the likes of a handful of customers or loyal followers, no matter what brand it is. I also was one of the first dealers to carry Bowtechs in my area but do not any longer. Another guy close to me picked them up, no biggie, if I ever want one or a customer does, we work things out. I return the favor. Things change, peoples' likes change--- Pro shops try different avenues to enhance their businesses, and until you know the exact reason as to why they may have dropped a line, (directly from the horses mouth) it is better to leave things be IMHO instead of trying to speculate.

I also must say that the original post didn't seem to be that far out of bounds, but can also see why substantiated questions about the validity would be raised,(in other words why he got flamed) especially on this board!

Bottom line---dealers try different brands all of the time, I've been through many also over the years. Until dealers truly find a couple or three that will generate the highest sales in their particular area, and couple those sales with top-shelf customer service to boot, it is not an uncommon occurance to see them swap brands around from time to time in an attempt to stimulate their customers. Good shooting, Pinwheel 12
