ENVIRON-Metal, Inc., makers of HEVI-Shot® ammunition announced today the return of Kelly Sorensen as V.P. of Sales and Marketing. From 2001 to 2009, Kelly worked in accounting and sales for ENVIRON-Metal, helping the company from its beginning as an alloy manufacturer through several transitions to become a leading producer of high-performance shotgun pellets, shotshells, and shooting accessories. Kelly helped develop many of the sales and marketing systems the company uses today. "HEVI-Shot® wasn't just a job for me," said Sorensen, "It was a passion. I've missed working with the many great people I met in the industry, and that is one of the big attractions in coming back." "Kelly brings a unique commitment to our retail and distribution customers, and the many hunters who trust our products for success in the field," said Ralph Nauman, President. "We look forward to her leadership in sales and marketing, and we're happy to have her return." Ron Petty will continue to advise the company in a new consulting role, as part of his long-planned transition to a much-deserved retirement. "Ron got us tremendous 'top-of-mind' with customers and consumers, and we're glad to have his expertise during this transition." As part of this transition, ENVIRON-Metal closed the Prescott sales office on 31 May, and consolidated all operations at the Sweet Home, Oregon headquarters.

Kodabow Review and Interview with Chuck Matasic - Hunting Life Podcast |
HuntingLife.com recently visited Kodabow to check out their Crossbows. See what they thought about the company, the bow and the man behind the company, Chuck Matasic:
A quick trip into West Chester, PA put us in the offices of KodaBow and we really enjoyed the opportunity to meet with Chuck Matasic from KODABOW. We learned that Koda is a Native American word for friend and these guys are committed to making a crossbow that will be your friend in the field or on the range. The Kodabow Crossbow was developed with the tactical hunter in mind and for those that appreciate a quality tool that can be handled well in the field.
The KODABOW Crossbow is built on the AR-15 platform and attention to detail was excellent. We actually walked in and Chuck asked me if we wanted to build a bow, so we picked up the components and put a complete crossbow together. The fittings on these bows are absolutely perfect and putting the entire crossbow together was a snap and I now know why spent so much time focused on detail. From the crisp trigger to the perfect safety, this crossbow is an exceptional tool to help you hunt and shoot. The flexibility on this bow is amazing and I look forward to the opportunity to get out in the field with one of these in the very near future.
