I was on www.trophyridge.com today looking at their products.Well what got to me is I seen on their e-mail that it said [email protected] .So my question is did Bear Archery buy out Trophy Ridge???

Trophy Ridge and Bear are sister companies now owned by Escalade Sports, which also owns Carolina Archery (maker of the Whisker Biscuit), and Jennings Archery among others.

Chris Rager sold Trophy Ridge shortly after the ATA Show..... then he told his employees that they had a couple weeks before Bear would show up and clean 'em out.They told me that Bear sent trailors and started loading up everything as soon as some of the employees were told. Their new home is in Indiana. Bear also purchased Caralina Archery (Whisker Biscuit) as well.

Who would be more qualified to make and sell bowhunting accessories than a company that makesPing Pong paddles and PoolCues! [&:]

So..are they going to keep Making Trophy Ridge products?

Yes, they have said they they hope to elevate the Trophy Ridge/Rocket name and improve it's entire product line. I personally don't believe this will ever happen.

I like Trophy Ridge Products..but they do need to make a few Horizontal Pin Sights!

I wonder how much Chris made out of that deal?

I know, IL... you'd hope that when a company gobbles up a smaller one like that to add to its portfolio, that it would keep all key personnel in place which made the company which was acquisitioned great in the first place. From what you report, it doesn't sound like that's the case here for sure.

Wait a second......isn't Hoyt connected to Easton? [8D]
