The Phoenix Bow

After the Trotter licensing agreement with Bear Archery expired, former Bear Archery President Bob Kelly, former head of advertising and public relations for Bear Archery, Dick Lattimer and George Trotter formed the George Trotter Organization (GTO) in Newberry Florida.  The development of the Phoenix bow was an offshoot of the Trottermatic and Delta V bows.  Unfortunately before full production of the bow was realized, the company ran short of funds and folded.   Only a few Phoenix bows were produced.
