Just like the ad says, it has grown so big we can barely keep up with it. I started this business for fun, something to keep me busy when I retired. Now it is all I have time to do. I want to go to the shoots and have some fun shooting and missing targets like the rest of you fine folks. The phone calls are too fast and furious!

John,

I know what you mean!!  I started Dryad Bows as a hobby to keep me busy after I retired.  Now Jason and I are working 60 hours a week and talking about hiring a third guy.

I thought retirement was supposed to be relaxing.

LOL

When I started Back To Basic Bowhunting it was  a similiar experience. I was working a full time job and running the biz. Grew fast and I can say I enjoyed every minute. A nasty divorce killed me and the biz. Taking care of customers can be very demanding so you better like what your doing (which I did). Wish I could do it again. Maybe someday.

Best wishes in selling and to the new owner.

If you weren't so darn good at running a great business, John, you wouldn't have the stress!

Sad to see an awesome company like yours on the block, just from the service you gave me I can understand how it became a monster.

Health and family first, I hope it works out for you, bud.

Thank you for the comments.
I have been swamped with calls about this. I will do my best to find a new owner who will treat the customers right!

John,it's been great working with you over the last few years. You've always had a class operation. I've always thought you and Jerry Deweese were the two hardest working guys in the circuit. I hope that things work out well for you in your future ventures.
