Thank you for the welcome and the reply.
I'm finding that a lot of hunters rely on the opinions of others on the forums. That's why we're investigating doing some advertising on these boards. It pays to go where the customers are.
As to online buying vs. purchasing from a brick and mortar store, I've seen some division. Some people won't buy anything unless they can handle it. I completely understand that. Other people are motivated simply by price, and often times the Internet can provide some great deals.
By the way, I think it's great that so many people are so loyal to this board and the owners. I've had several people suggest I advertise here. Loyalty like that is a the mark of a good board.
