I fully realise that the market might not exist for the Whitehart, and mourn the fact. Everyone these days just have to have the latest, greatest and most fashionable CNC Swiss Cheese-ed MP3 compatible 10 megapixel plasma screened wireless bow.

Better stop before t' Brass Band starts playing Dvorak in the background, and I develop a Southern accent, by 'eckaslike...
All that (my opinion) need changing is International limbs. This would make it more appealing to the market. With everyother bow on the market taking every limb on the market there is no sensible reason to buy a whitehart. Yes its a great riser with great limbs. With ILF I think it will be a big seller again.

Please note I have raised this point before an I got similar response. The worry is it will ruin the whole Whitehart Package. My argument is if it aint selling thats doing more damage. However I guess Whitehart is not a main focus of Perris archery anymore. Such a shame. Another great british brand dieing out. I may be wrong and they may be selling as well as always but I havent seen a new one for some years. Still would love to get my hands on one before I give up this sport.
