Start a Product review category in this section?

[TwoSixFourWins]

Like the title says, would it be possible to start "Product Review" category in the Weapons and Equipment category? A single thread would get too confusing i think. It would be nice to have a place where everyone can put down positive or negative experiences with a gun, scope, backpack, tent, whatever and have them all in one place where they can be easily referenced.

I like your idea, anyone else have any thoughts?

I couldn't tell you the amount of dollars i've spent on bs gear.  A place for reviews on here would be nice

Great idea for the general weapons and equipment. Seen it done other places and it def helps people out by cutting through the advertising hype.

I normally look for info under the "Other gear" or "Archery gear" heading... I would caution BP about making too many catagories... Some of the best threads i've run into have been by chance...

with a star rating system and a way to collect data on what everyone paid for the item in question

It could go under "Community" as well so archer's fishermen trappers and everyone else notices it.  Like i said i think making it a single thread would be too confusing. If it is it's own category then more than one person can post about a product and not have it be all over different pages of the same thread. All the info on each product would have it's own thread.

I was thinking a "Product Reviews" board would be best in the "Weapons & Equipment" category so it's easy to find.

I also thought about changing the category name to "Weapons - Equipment - Services" and then moving the "Taxidermy" and "Buthering" and "Sponsors" all into the same category.

Just thinking out loud at this point.

Dale,
     How about a "Made in the USA" section?

I like that idea. Would be streamlined and work well

Could that be a topic in a "Product Reviews" board, or do you think we would have enough interest that we would need a separate board for that?

[TwoSixFourWins]

Could make it a sticky in the product reviews....just a thought.

There is already a Made in the NW thread.

Lots of good gear is made here in the PNW.

I'd like to see a sticky.
My wife and I try to spend our money here in the USA the best we can.
Happy to read tips on how to do better.
