On Oct. 5th of this year ATC acquired Shikari rods and Loomis Golf and is in the process of moving the plant to Wenatchee Washington. ATC has production facilities in Washington as well as Korea and China to meet the most exacting project requirements of their customers.The production and design staff of ATC has over 81 years in combined experience that is joined with new, state of the art, propietary equipment. The design and production staff is headed by Bob Loomis. Sales and marketing will be headed by Fred Gasparach.
ATC is a wholly owned subsidiary of Targus Fly and Feather Inc. with the consolidation of these 2 companies under one roof, ATC is positioned to become a world leader in the design and production of all things tubular that can be made from composite materials such as graphite, fiberglass, boron and titanium--from fishing rods to oars ,batons and much more. All design work is being done in Wenatchee , Washington.
With all this in mind - Bingham Enterprises will be carrying this new line of blanks. New catalogs will be ready sometime at the end of the month. If you are interested let me know.
I have seen the new list of blanks and some of the not so popular ones have been discontinued but most of the tried and true ones are still around with just a new name. New blanks will now come with header cards and decals. I have all the particulars so feel free to e-mail me direct and not post your questions on this board.
Sincerely,
Karen Hapka

If anyone is interested I have some of the old Shikari blanks remaining at exceptional pricing- let me know!!!
