Our compound bows are all made in the USA which is really nice. Our parent company (Savage Arms) is all US made as well. All of our parts are all made here on water jets, CNC's, etc... all forging is here. This is a rare thing....
Now, if we picked up & moved to China to make the same product, we would immediately save 11% in excise tax right away. After that, labor would be reduced by over 50%. At $900,000 every 2 weeks just for our bow company, you can do the math... we would save a ton. Materials would cost less, we would not have to give the government near as much.
With all of this in mind (plus the benifits I do not even mention)... I can see why so many companies all have moved away. Some to make more money to be more profitable, & some just to stay alive (like Briggs & Stratton). You guys are all right... very few USA companies are around any more. Obama wants to tax us USA companies even more now with "carbon taxes" & other energy taxes... it is sad that we are all dying as it is. scoot
