Hey Guys i guess you heard the word that grizzly is moving. I just want to give a little insight so hopefuly the rumor mill will go in the right direction. Back in 1997 i purchased the broadhead business from Jim Abel after the fire destroyed the business. At that time i was working at a ski area and had the warm months off to work on broadheads. In the following years i was able to purchase the ski area which is leased from the state. A couple years ago i was faced with a hard decision to make, i own a ski area with a lease that will end with the possibilty of not renewing, a chance to purchase another ski area a hour and half away, and redesign the broadheads to make them bevel on either said. The ski purchase looked like it wasn't going to happen so i redesigned the new grizzlies. A month later i was running another Ski area in New York which took all my free time away. Over the past couple years i have tried different ways to keep the broadhead business moving forward without any great success. I tried farming some of the work out and hiring people to work without any good luck. So now i have made the heart wrenching decision to sell the business and put it in somebodies hands that can make it grow and be commitied to it year round. i know i am making the right decision and am picking the right guy to put grizzlies on the map again.It' just hard to let go of something that is so close to my heart and i really enjoy doing. It was never about money problems-it had more to do with time and looking at my families future and right now that is in the Ski Business. In late July i started working out a deal with Bill Dunn to take over the business. i know he will do it right and make grizzly broadheads well and keep improving on them and work on them year round. I would also like to applogize to everyone for letting a product you love to use not be available, and not being good at customer service and taking care of business. It is not how i wanted it to be and for that i am sorry. I know Bill will do great things and am just as excited as the rest of you to see the improvements and changes. No i haven't sold my bows( they are just collecting some unwanted dust right now and hopefully my family and i will make it to some shows next year and actually shoot and not have to work.
