Catalyst Ion

I originally ordered on 3/9 at 3:30 PM, when you had to contact them and get a password to get access to the site. Eventually got an email (5/28) saying it had shipped and then UPS never updated. (One of the eight that was mentioned I suppose.)

I sent a follow-up email asking about it on 6/8, got a reply on 6/11 saying that it would be on the way soon and apologizing for delays. It finally came on 6/16. I also have the EWO Ultimate One Stick. Either will do the trick honestly. I have used both in the yard, but haven't hunted out of either. If it was hunting season and this was my only option, of course I'd be upset at the timeline. But I don't really care since it's the offseason and I was expecting delays to be honest.
 
I got mine and, like others have said, this thing is a work of art. It's well worth the wait.

If you're watching the mailbox everyday and have grown accustomed to next day Amazon delivery like me, then you're gonna get pissed.
I know I was getting impatient.

But, if you hang in there, you're gonna be really happy you did.

This isn’t amazon next day delivery expectations.

This is being quoted 4-6 weeks to received an item you paid for. That 4-6 weeks when someone quotes you is taken as 4 weeks. Worst case 6 weeks…

This is going on 15 weeks!!!!!!

If I tripled my original estimate to do a job… guess what? I would no longer have said job.

There is no excuse.

Everything was cut and ready to be coated and assembled by week 3.

This is extreme procrastination and laziness plain and simple.

Let me know if you cancel your order so I can buy it
 
Please say they sent one your way though. Or are you just going an entirely different direction?

I have one. Got one raw sent to Out on a limb to coat. I was sick of waiting just like everyone else.
 
The finish is acceptable. I went with the gray mostly because I thought it would make a good base for a diy camo job
 
Damn guys, at this rate another one is never going to hit the classifieds. :grimacing:


But seriously it sucks to have such a crazy long wait. Hopefully everyone gets them in soon.
 
Do you think these will be available in the future or is this it ?

Says "Coming soon" on the website :tearsofjoy::rolleyes:

I liked a lot about the design & about the potential of this company. I did not buy one, with the hope that one of their rumored new platforms would tick the boxes for a no-sticking platform. Not having any reason to expect to ever see that it seems.

On the positive, it doesn't seem Catalyst has produced anything where manufacturing is questionable. I'd be willing to wait on a quality product given that, quite awhile even, but they need to manage expectations. That's their Achilles heel.
