The Martin family has decided to sell its sixty-two year old archery business. Gail Martin, the company’s founder and President turns ninety next year and has decided to retire.
Martin Archery has been a major player and innovator in the archery business for many years making multiple contributions to the growth of the industry.
Gail Martin said “It’s time! There are so many things I have wanted to do for many years and have reluctantly decided that running the business makes it impossible to do them. Whoever buys the business will get a slate of state-of-the-art bows and will inherit a rich tradition.”
Any interested persons are encouraged to contact Martin Archery at 509-529-2554 ext. 911 or e-mail MartinArcheryInc@gmail.com.
Wow! Best wishes to Gail in his retirement and thanks for all the innovation and contributions to the archery industry, their's no doubt Martin has helped us get to where the bows are today. Hats of to the company and family.
Wow. My first bow was a Martin Cougar Magnum. I hope whoever gets their hands on the company does well by them. I'd like to see them become a force in the industry once again.
Martin archery and the Martin family have always been number one in my book. I wish Gail the best a luck with his retirement and thank him for all he has done for the archery community.
If this is true, (offers already on the table) then why would they put a big for sale press release out?
I wonder how long they will continue to operate if not sold. There was a post on here the other day about going bankrupt and with some Martin staffer saying not true, all is good.
Good Luck, first bow I purchased was a wood riser Warthog, I was in pre-school. No seriously I was in high school, but PS doesn't make me sound so old. On the other hand a wood riser does make me old. lol
I killed my first deer with a Martin Impala and owned plenty of others since that one. Martin is a great company founded by a true pioneer of the sport. Good luck to you Gail. Enjoy your retirement.
i haven't been able to confirm this "press release" through other sources. makes me wonder if this is just another AT rumor. nothing about it on Martin's web site other than a thread referring back to this AT posting.
hmm....since Martin started AT will it go away when the company is sold?
I hope the new owner of Martin Archery keeps the current name and history of this pioneering company. I do hope that we do not loose an Ameican influence in the Archery Industry. Gail, I wish you a happy retirement.
Terry Martin owns Archerytalk independently of Martin archery.
There are no other ties between the two. Archerytalk will remain as it is, regardless of who owns Martin Archery.
Warrenty no good now? Wonder if I should get a "just in case" set of limbs.
Anyways, happy retirement. Please dont sell out to a foreign company.
