Marketing guns etc

As an aside from the foregoing post... Shooters are really traditionalist for the most part. Most like steel and wood in their guns.. Plastic stocks are starting to sell pretty well but so many people coming into the muzzleloading sport are coming in because of the increased chances for hunting. Many are newer frontstuffers as i said and they will buy what is most familiar to them. I refuse to try to sell things to people that they don't need or anything that will not suit them in the long run. It doesn't pay to try to force things on people...espcially things that won't make them happy. The US automakers did that back in the 60's and 70's and the Foreign makers made inroads on the American market that seem to be widening even today. Of course I market things in a traditional sense with loss leaders etc..but those are things to get people to come into the shop. Happy people come back Unhappy people are gone
