    I assumed all of the major bow companies were American made? Who isn't?

    Hoyt and Easton are part of the same company. Hoyt bows used to actually be hoyt /easton. Made in utah.


    I believe you are correct about goldtip as well.

    I have emailed Goldtip asking about country of manufacture to be certain. They are great arrows, I am trying to keep my archery set-up all made in the USA and want some heavier and normal shaft size arrows for next season. I do believe they are back in the USA now though as Cabela's and ****sSportingGoods's removed the Imported/Made in China from the descriptions.

    Response from Goldtip, their shafts are still made in Mexico:

    "Thank you for the email. Our shafts are manufactured in Mexico, however, 95% of all materials and components are of U.S. purchase and origin. I hope that answers your questions and have a great day."

    "Made in America" does not necessarily mean what you might think it should mean. From my experience in the fly fishing world... many rod companies claim to be "made in america" yet they have component made over seas. Assembling a product on American soil can warrant a "made in America " tag... although it may not really be. I suspect a very similar situation occurs in the archery industry as well as many other areas.

    Check the fine print if you are really interested.

    I buy whatever is the highest quality product regardless of where it is made.

    I believe the Obsession bows are American made as well, but now you got me curious. Gotta do some checking.

    Assembled in PA, but is the material made here or, most likely, made in China?

    Good question Dan. I know its assembled in the USA being every suit is custom made for the individuals request. Where the material comes from is beyond me. I'm going to find out though.

    Here is the exact text I got from Chuck just minutes ago-

    I'm not exactly sure where they came from. My last batch was from South Carolina, Milliken made it, this stuff me and Gray Wolf Woolens bought from a converter in Connecticut.

    I'm not sure anyone is making anything close to this stuff here anymore, Steve.

    That's crazy that Chuck doesn't even know where his material is made.
