On their web page they were saying that they were having with legal issues and fire code compliance issues. Resorting to GoFundMe to finance new drywall etc. Not sure when that was updated and if the issue is still current; it has the hallmarks of an abandoned web site.

An important update. As you all know, these past couple years have been trying for all of us. Through all of this I have stayed open, been fined, had the fines withdrawn and a lawyer provided to me by Rebel Media. However the fines were just the tip of the iceberg. The government has done what they can to make things even more challenging for me because I questioned their ethics and morals and reasoning behind them attempting to shut me down. They hit me with “new fire codes” which resulted in me having to add another layer of drywall in the retail area and unfortunately this is coming out of pocket at a cost of around sixty thousand dollars ($60,000). Needless to say that at this time I don’t happen to have that kind of cash just laying around, so I’ve resorted to starting a GoFundMe account to try and mitigate some of those costs. I hate asking for this, but sometimes I have to swallow my pride and ask for help. I would much prefer selling products and providing services, but I need to do what I need to do. Any help is greatly appreciated, and even a kind word means the world to me! Thank you for everything you have done and I appreciate every one of you. Take care of each other.
The web certificate has lapsed too.

But checking FaceBook, there's recent activity, as recent as this month.

They are listed as a sponsor on this forum, hopefully they can chime in and provide some illumination on the topic.

Ya i heard he was having some legal issues. Never heard of a go fund me page though. I guess i will order my broadheads online.
I would laugh when i would stop at shoot from time to time and if you hit the day just right could listen to the medevil dudes talking about the weirdest **** ever.

Thanks, Lefty. That's encouraging to hear!

Last thing we need is to have good local shops closing down.

glad to hear someone got good service from him. A friend of mine and myself dropped off our bows about 6 weeks before bow season to get re strung. We called a day before the season was open to pick them up and he never even looked at them. Last time we ever went there.
