Not in the current context

In the early 2000s, when technology was advancing and guys were buying a new bow every year or two, archery shops were profitable. Post 2008, lower incomes, inflation, cabelas/bps, and really not much reason to upgrade bows…no profits. Arrows by the dozen won’t keep the lights on.

It’s always been a small customer base. I think we saw a one time bubble and it popped
