Did Bowmar buy PSE?

[3forks]

Actually, if you go to Levi's website, there is no longer any mention of Bowmar products.

And our Mathews rep said that a current "big name" with PSE is looking to join the Mathews team.



Aron is owner of Kifaru and a PSE shooter.

Interesting.

I don’t stay too current on some of this stuff, so consider me now a little better informed.

Dudley going to Mathews would be noteworthy if that actually happens and is the big name your rep was referring to.

Rogan and Dud were originally going to buy PSE. Rogan owns the building PSE is in and leases it to them. But Rogan and Dud had a falling apart, so he's back to Hoyt with Cam.

What happened with rogan and Dudley?

 

[Shadowcaster]

Bowmar or Bomar?

I don't know much about either other than I'm trying to get a part from Bomar. But it does seem there's lots of confusion as to which ones...

Definitely the Bowmars. Bomar is just a guy who makes good parts

This made me laugh. I thought the same thing. I teach high school full time and it made me think of something that I'd overhear on a Monday after a long weekend. Didnt Rogan just hunt the Deseret with Dudley in Utah? lol

I can see it now...a new line of PSE spears coming to a retailer near you.

With a camera built into the spear tip. That way you can see the world record spear throw at a world record doe whitetail.

This would be disappointing. Maybe. I don't know. He is a tool, but clearly knows how to market and make dough. If he keeps his ideas out of the mix and listens to the shooters, maybe it'll work out.

That said, I'll be watching to see what shakes out and may be a Bowtech or Elite shooter when it's all said and done. Or Darton. Darton has always made some really good sleeper bows. Frankly, though, I'm tired of screwing with cables and twisting and shims and come on bow makers just pay the damn royalty.

This is how I would search for a new bow.

Seems like a super bummer for a long time company. The rumor is also heard was Greg Poole was a partner with Josh in the purchase. I know I won’t consider a PSE if it comes to fruition

 

[Wilderlife]

Is this all just because heaps of people don't like the Bowmars and they don't want to be associated with them, or give them money? Or is it more to do with the fact that people reckon PSE will go to crap and the quality of the products will suffer?

It’s because they have a less than stellar reputation.

The bowmar guy tried to put out a fire with a leaf blower. I don’t know hardly anything else about him, but that’s enough for me. If you want to see it yourself, check out his Instagram.

Could you imagine being employed by PSE and finding out Bowmar, or Bowmar and Greg Poole, were going to be your bosses?

 

[OR Archer]

I will bet PSE ends up being acquired by an investment group the same as Bow Tech, Bear, and Elite in the near future. Might not happen on this deal but it’ll eventually happen to them.

Who’s Greg Poole and why are we mad at him?!

I would be astonished if Dudley goes to Mathews. I don’t think they’d give him the autonomy and name-branding he gets at PSE, slapping his name on a bunch of bows.

Maybe Kyle Douglas or someone else is going to Mathews, I just don’t see Dudley giving up that name-branding and degree of input into the design process.

I will not be buying a PSE then. Thanks.

Seems fair for someone who makes decisions like high school girl.

I was thinking along the same lines. Vista comes to mind as the likely candidate. Seems like a lot of scratch for Bowmar to come up with.

I can't say it has been bad for the three brands you mention. All still make good bows. Service becomes the concern, to me.
