I hate to say it but traditional hunting firearms don’t seem to be a growing market. Handguns and modern sporting rifles is where most of the action is. T/C was always suppling a niche market, often with little quality competition. I’m not sure what future the company has.

I could probably dig more into it if i had time, so i dont know all details. A friend sent this to me, and thats good enough for me. I don't have much use for someone that calls themselves a professional hunter either regardless.

Not convicted, end of story. It's one that took many twists and turns, but in the end, not convicted.

I wish him the best with his new adventure. Would love to see some high quality items out of T/C again!

Ritz doesn’t have a great rep….. He ran Horton into the ground…..

He wasn't sole owner and only one calling the shots. Hate how it ended up, but the Horton brand has been better since going back to the Bednar family.

Google Greg Ritz poaching, you will find more info then you can read. Some of it internet gossip? I'm sure. But I will not personally be supporting any company he is a part of (I'm sure he will be devastated). Tired of shitbag hunters.
