I know for a fact they purchased Horton to obtain all licenses and patents they owned. I also know many of those were the owner of Tenpoints work! Rick Bedner was one of the original folks that started Horton, and responsible for much of their early success, as he has proven how successful he can make a crossbow company on his own. I also know he was very corruptly robbed of his work, and position by legal, but very backstabbing unethical means.
In the end he not only left to start the obviously most successful crossbow company in the USA, and ended up with everything he was sow wrongfully robbed of years ago. I am sure those contracts, patents, and licensing were all assets he wanted, but one has to think taking it from a group that failed miserably without him was much to his satisfaction, and to bring it back solely under the same name, while dissolving it into the two brands he was already solely responsible for may just of been the icing on the cake to bring out the most successful models under that name they had ever brought to market.
Speculation yes, but those things did happen. Once that was done, and his RDX design came to fruition, I don't think there was much financially, to have a third name compete with two successful brands he was already responsible for. It would only make sense to continue with a reliable no frills line under the Wicked Ridge name, and of course the premium top of the line bows branded under the great Tenpoint name!
I just don't think once he made his statement under the Horton name their was much to gain in having a line that quite frankly he already had covered with both ends of the crossbow so widely covered!
Like I said, knowing the history and the facts, this would just be my thoughts, take it back, make it solvent, then liquify any hint of anyone else, and make it known all his past work truly was his, and now his alone! Just my thoughts, and if I'm right,,,,, Great job Rick!
