    my buddy is a prostaffer for G5. He said that G5 has filed a claim against Ross. G5 was making parts or the whole bow ( I can't remember which specifically) for Ross. Ross allegedly defaulted on paying G5 & owes them some real big coin. In their contract w/Ross, it basically said that if Ross failed on payments, G5 gets the inventory of bows. That inventory includes what G5 has, Ross has, and stores. Hence G5's new bow line is born. They changed the name from Ross. I guess he also allegedly owes quite a bit in back taxes also. My buddy is getting one of those rigs to field test in the very near future.

    Yeah, I just wish someone would step up and clear the air already. We have absolutely NO idea what to tell our customers, and it's making us look like a horse's ass.....I guess the best thing to do at this point would be to just drop them.
