GOEX purchased by Hodgdon

[Birdshot]

As of Jan 2, 2009, Hodgdon Powder Company is the owner of GOEX. 

We are pleased with this purchase and feel that it will compliment our other product lines and broaden our customer base.

GOEX powder will remain in the same plant and will be manufactured by the same personnel as it has been for the past several years.  We feel that the personnel operating this plant know their business and had done a good job in the past.  We welcome them to the Hodgdon Powder team.

At this time, we do not anticipate any immediate changes in order placement, shipping or any other function of operation.  This may change at some point after careful study and consideration. 

There are many questions that remain unanswered at this time.  We will be working out the fine details over time but we do not expect any interruptions in the supply of powder.

Thanks for keeping us informed Birdshot.

It is my fervent desire that the GOEX plant remain in Louisiana ad infinium It has been a boon to myself and numerous other Holy Black users in this state to have a real powder source within arms reach, so to speak.

I'm afraid that we might have some problems with the purchase. Hodgdon lost a multi millon dollar law suit to APP. They make the Goex Pinnacle and I don't see them doing business with a company that took money from them in court. Pinnacle will go the way of Clear Shot. I only use the "HOLY BLACK" but one of my friends has the Goex Distributor market for South Louisiana and that could go away. We will have to see what Hodgdon has in store for us. We have the only American BP plant left and it would be a sin to destroy it. Lets hope that it does not fall as a tax write off.
