This a copy of a thread I started on AF but it seems relevant here too.
Looks like Ross Archery have split with G5 and G5 are planning to rebadge and market the unpaid for stock as Quest Archery Q31 and Q33.

A few weeks ago the latest investors, who had been helping Ross pay Grace Engineering, completely pulled away from Ross Archery. This has left Grace Engineering/G5 with a tremendous amount of inventory, much of which has been dramatically improved by G5's design team, to sell through our loyal dealer network. Now that this a G5 product line you will see a bow that we are proud of that is Designed to Hunt. I know this won't be enough of an answer for some, but the simple answer is that this was a payment issue. Since we at G5 are bowhunters like you, we look forward to this opportunity to make some great bows now and long into the future.

Along the lines, Ross worked with Grace Engineering (Parent Company of G5 Outdoors L.L.C.) to have parts provided, to include the risers for the 31" and 33" Cardiac’s. Without getting into details at this time, Ross Archery, Inc. has decided to take a different path in having the risers and other parts manufactured for the Ross Archery line-up and therefore have parted ways with Grace Engineering due to the high quality standards at Ross Archery, Inc., Ross is moving forward to position themselves with other suppliers in order to meet the demands and quality expectations of its customers. Andy and Angie Ross wanted me to inform you that they will be making an Official Statement here on the forum as early as next week.
One final statement before I end this entry, Ross Archery, Inc. is not being bought out by Grace Engineering or G5 Outdoors L.L.C.

“Bow hunting is in our blood,” stated Quest Bowhunting Brand Manager Garret Armstrong. “Like most bowhunters, we work our day jobs to pay the bills, but we would much rather be in the field waiting for a whitetail or an elk to walk within range.”
The Quest bowline is manufactured with the same precision and dedication hunters expect from a G5 Outdoors company. Each bow is constructed from 100% machined aluminum and is manufactured with the highest quality ISO 9000 standards. The appearance and performance of the Quest line will appeal to all hunters no matter their game of choice.
“Quest Bowhunting is proud to give every hunter the best possible product with a forgiving price tag,” commented National Sales Manager, Peter Crawford.
In addition the bows will feature Metrao Precision Bow strings, a two-piece wood grip, parallel limbs, an offset riser and a high performance single cam for shot after shot performance and reliability.
The QS 31 weighs in at 3.9 lbs and QS 33 weighs 4.1 lbs. Draw weights range from 40 to 80 pound limbs with 80% let-off. Draw lengths ranging from 26”-30” makes a perfect fit for most hunters. All Quest bows are available in Realtree™ AP camouflage.
Quest Bowhunting: It’s not about the destination; it’s about the Quest.
