Default Bad Day at Blackrock??

As much as I don't care for Barnett xbows, it saddens me to report based on the info I have they are now teats up. Supposedly, they have laid off their entire work force and are done. I hope for you B-nett guys someone picks them up or whatever can result from filing bankruptcy. Feel free to write this off as internet rumor or whatever, and in addition to that, Bear is headed out also.

wow I can remember shooting a red white and blue Bear 76`er in my early teen years, would be a sad thing for either of those companies to go out of business, but it is getting hard for a lot of manufactures to compete these days..

Just called the Barnett 800 number. The recording states that they are at the SHOT show in Orlando and that they will be open for business on the 15th. (800) 237-4507.
