There is still a glimmer of hope that production will start up again but other things have got in the way this year not least opening up a new shop. Personally I am trying to push this along as there is definately a market out there for the Whitehart - British built, good looking niche product built to a high standard which in terms of accuarcy and speed and in the right hands can compete with the best. As it was in it's prime an ideal bow for those that just want to go out and shoot not spending all their time bow tuning and wondering if they have got it right, as it is very difficult to set one up badly so long as long as you do the basics right, perhaps thats why there are still quite a number on shooting lines today.
Thanks for your encouragement. |
I am a fan of british built. I always loved the look of the whitehart but the limb pocket system, although very good idea and solid, did not suite my style. I like to mix limbs and risers and this is not possible with Whitehart. Still if it goes back on sale Im sure people will buy it again. Also if border were to get involved again it would be an even bigger seller.
