What ever happened to Bighorn bows
« on: July 30, 2011, 09:01:00 AM »
I know Fred Asbell originally owned and made them, and then sold the company.  Is it still in existence?

Hi Whitetail: I could be wrong, but I think it was bought by a company named King of the Mountain in Colorado in the early 90's. I have a Bighorn built in around 1998 and it was King of the Mountain at that time. Hope that helps!

I just Googled King of the Mountain, they are still in business in Lovland Colorado, the phone number is 970-962-9306, the site is kingofthemountain.com

I don't see any Bows on the site, although he does mention buying it from Fred Asbel in 1991, so it has to be the same outfit, you might give them a call, they might have a sister site or know who makes them now. DK.

Bighorn has changed hands many times since G. Fred sold it.  Things have not gone well with the brand for some time.
