Bruce retired and last I talked to his wife Helga he had some health concerns. Lost touch since then. Prior to them making the move to NM they took my daughter who was in Tucson attending UofA under their wing. Bruce gave her an awesome little longbow she still cherishes.

Wonder why they didn"t try to sell the company?? Seems like such a waste??

Yeah, they made a fine bow. I had a couple of their longbows, and currently have an Alpine recurve, which is a great shooting bow.
