No, 100% US Citizen ownership.

Great, that's a rare thing these days.

I thought when I made the original post on this topic that it would be greeted as good news.



It's amazing how social media can turn good news into a massive gripe session!

@kkulling Don’t mind these crotchety old bastiches… they’ll come around, just got to get the bile out of the system first. In some cases it’ll take years!

It's pretty rare for the CEO of any company to directly respond to a forum post and only in the muzzleloading shooting world do guys still continue to b--- after the actual CEO of Estes/Goex answers their questions

Yep, some people would b—- if they were hung with a new rope. Others would gripe if you put egg in their beer…

You don't think I would gripe if someone put an egg in my beer?

I have used both Goex and Schuetzen and have no complaints. As far a one being dirtier than the other it's a mute point seeing how I shoot a pound or so between a couple of guns. They get really fouled and need extensive cleaning. On Swiss I used one pound and found that it was a bit cleaner but not $10 per pound cleaner. Once Goex is back on the market I'll buy which ever is less expensive between it and Schuetzen. Just my opinion on this matter.

Graf and sons has Graf's black powder. Anyone familiar with it? Who make it?

It use to be Goex but now it's Schuetzen just repackaged in Grafs containers.

Yep, when Goex hits the shelves, that's what I'll be buying.

I am awaiting a reply to the email that I sent to GOEX. Tick tock tick tock tick.....

Hey, don't you know that Sen. Hickenlooper & Sen. Bennett said TIKTOK is CHINESE SPY MEDIA?

I hear your concerns about Goex and I want to reassure everybody that we absolutely support black powder shooting. This community is very important to us. I became a N-SSA member and will be shooting at the spring nationals (smoothbore and carbine company matches, 46th Illinois).

Yes, the military has been an important part of getting us up and running, but they're not our only customer. We're getting ready to restart production and can't wait to get black powder back on shelf this summer at distributors and dealers.

Karl, CEO of Goex and Estes Energetics

Looking forward to buying an American made black powder again. Hopefully it will cost a little less than the foreign powders. And please be careful, no blowing things up again.

Ya’ gotta try it!

To say nothing about the hangin'!

Why all the hate and lack of love towards a new owner and manufacturer of Goex Black Powder before they ship their first pound of powder because of what the previous owner, Hodgdon, is accused of doing or not doing? Personally, was never a super fan of the Hodgdon Goex, but bought quite a few pounds of it from most LGSs when they had it on shelf over the years after they took over from DuPont. Where is the hate towards Hodgdon’s other products if they are so evil, like 777, Pyrodex and all their smokeless offerings? They haven’t sold off those product lines…..

Always amazed how a niche market will eat it’s young while complaining those trying to service it or enter the market aren’t supporting them, then are shocked and stupefied when a supplier abandons them.

Guess one gets what they ask for and deserve.

The shooting sports in America is definitely a case of "we have met the enemy and he is us"

People complain about cap shortages while the Fudds who shoot 5 rounds per year are out cleaning out Scheels and Cabelas of caps, round balls and .22

A club i belong to locally has advised that Goex may ship in about 3. Weeks.

That's all I know.

Potentially great news! Hopefully there will be a boatload of that coming to Alaska before we're too far into the spring. I'm planning to burn a lot of it this year.

I'd rather be hanged than someone put an egg in my beer!

 

[Jim in Wisconsin]

I'd drink it anyway, can't let it go to waste. Or is it waist?

Don't hold your breath. Not one stinking can of BP I have is in plastic containers. Sorry, your power will come plastic.

I would. I hate eggs.

Usually doesn’t take over 4-5 posts til someone starts an argument.

It all depends on your perspective .
