My understanding is Beast are now made in China. At first they were made in the US. They have a delay posted about their pre orders now.

LWCG is US made to my knowledge.

Pretty sure they're not. Ton of machining that wouldn't be cost effective in the USA.

I turned my LW sticks into Beast sticks and definitely could see that the amount of time I spent could easily justify buying them.

I'm surprised and disappointed to know the Beast sticks are made in China....I would never have thought Dan would go that route......

I try to buy made here when I can but it’s not always possible. And some things are very expensive to do so. But I do refuse to buy a Broadhead not made here when there are so many good options still being made here.

That makes me sad to know the beast sticks are made overseas. Didn’t realize that. But not a huge surprise I guess either. I still bet they’re really good and better than any others I’ve owned so far. Got my 1 stick still on order still for 1 sticking. Not everything made in China or overseas is always bad.

I emailed OOAL, as now my curiosity is piqued. My take on 100% USA made means all raw materials and components are from USA. And then assembled here, by Americans.
I think OOAL make awesome products. This isn’t directed to them specifically but to any company that claims made in USA. How can you verify it? You can’t! Unless you get a CMTR (Certified Material Test Report) you will never know if it’s actually coming from a mill in the states. You could verify if it was manufactured in the USA though. Furthermore, many mills in USA are foreign owned. How do y’all feel about that?

What’s the concern, if it’s made by Americans or if it’s made by Americans out of American made materials or if it is made by Americans out of American made materials by a company owned by Americans?

The list gets real small when you get to that level.
I know Hill People Gear and Kifaru are on that list. Not sure who else, but it would be interesting information to know.

Even if the beast sticks are machined over seas, the tolerances are still incredible and the quality is high. The great thing about this country is we can each decide for ourselves where we want to draw the line through ho we buy from. Lots of great products out there to pick from.

I don’t think anyone could question Dan’s love for this country.
