    I think it will pick up with time. Already better than AT imo.

    I know how you feel. I just hang out anywhere and everywhere and try to fit in.

    Please don't steal my lunch tomorrow. :cry:

    Dan - 1/2 your order shipped today. I'm waiting on stock from HSS, but our vests should be here hopefully early next week. When it shows up and ships out I'll let you know.

    All other orders have been filled and shipped, so be on the lookout for the UPS man! :rock:

    As for the site suggestions on user submitted stories/more info that's definitely something that's in the works. As is a members-only buyer's club discount program as well. For right now we're working on getting the shopping experience dialed in to where we want it to be, then we'll start moving onto other areas of the site. All that is done in between working on projects for customers that pay our bills and put food on our tables, so you'll have to hang in there. Trust me, we're doing all we can to make things as good as possible around here. The biggest thing to keep in mind is that the site has been live to the world for less than a week. There's a LOT more to do and we've got a list of additions and improvements two miles long. The more we work on it, the longer it gets!

    In regards to the comment about selling only high-end stuff, that's not exactly the case. We want to carry products that we think are beneficial and useful to bowhunters, whether they cost a thousand dollars or ten dollars. The stuff that we believe in and use, and the stuff that you all believe in and use. We don't want to carry 100 different knives, we want to carry 1 or 2 of the best knives. And we don't want to carry every release, sight, broadhead, stabilizer on the market. Just the ones that are proven to work and are a good deal. That's what Bowhunting.com is all about.

    Thanks again for everyone's support and feedback, we appreciate it!

    Well thanks for taking this thread the "right" way. I was afraid it might be taken badly. Justin you handled it with professionalism and provided the information I was looking for!>> Kudo's. I only hit 2 Sites HNI and here, oh and Camospace, but thats a different type of thing!

    I was not aware that the site wasn't "live" until recently.

    As far as reviews, there is one I'd like to see from any member who's tried one. The Fall Guy Restraint System. It never fails that one shot angle binds you up with a typical safety strap. The FGRS looks like it might be the answer, but they seem so heavy in the store??

    Just remember on products, those 1 or 2 that are top of the line, to some, are the sewer to others. Take Broadheads for example :argue: So thats going to be a tough thing to decide. I'd say get all you can, offer a better price, than most, and we'll order. With the ease of price comparison on the internet, loyalty only goes as far as a mans wallet.

    Customer service goes much further, to me. One thing I can't stand about shopping with a company is the feeling that I'm just a number. I guess this comes from growing up in a family that owns businesses and now own my own.

    Treat me right and I'll reward you for it.


    Sounds good on the order Justin! I look forward to getting it!!!
