Found this a while back

PRESS RELEASE

December 20, 2012, Walla Walla, WA:

Martin Archery is For Sale

The Martin family has decided to sell its sixty-two year old archery business. Gail Martin, the company’s founder and President turns ninety next year and has decided to retire.

Martin Archery has been a major player and innovator in the archery business for many years making multiple contributions to the growth of the industry.

Gail Martin said “It’s time! There are so many things I have wanted to do for many years and have reluctantly decided that running the business makes it impossible to do them. Whoever buys the business will get a slate of state-of-the-art bows and will inherit a rich tradition.”

Any interested persons are encouraged to contact Martin Archery at 509-529-2554 ext. 911 or e-mail [email protected].
Love God, Love your neighbor.

I saw a post by Larry Hatfield stating that the auction was for inventory only.  The facilities and manufacturing equipment are up for sale for I think he said $1.9 million.

There is news on a new investment company that is trying to close a deal and prevent the company from going under and resurrect it, but they are still fighting with it.

Really hate to see Martin go under - owned many of their bows through the years and still do own a Dreamcatcher I'll never part with.
