Well, we have 2 serious buyers in the forefront, both with deep traditional archery roots, and several other interested parties and corporations in the background. We've moved forward with the 2 serious prospective buyers. They have signed confidentiality agreements and are reviewing financial documents right now.
I would feel comfortable with either of these folks taking over. They have both mentioned me staying on in some capacity, at least short term, but that will untimately be up to the new owner.
I'm still enjoying it and will most certainly miss it but I am swamped. My biggest helper, my wife Karen, is back teaching in the classroom and her assistance is limited now with that and both of our daughter's schedules. And the printer delays have not helped but that's part of being in business.
Most of my spare time away from my full time day job is spent handling every aspect of the magazine. A new full-time owner and staff will have more time to devote to expanding and promoting the journal, which will make it even better. Both of the serious prospective buyers plan to make this their full time job. I cannot commit to that at this stage in my life.
Again, sorry for the delay on the fall issue but it is out of our hands. I know they are being mailed and people should start getting them any day now.
