Title: Start a Product review category in this section?
Post by: TwoSixFourWins on January 26, 2012, 11:38:07 AM: 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.

Post by: TwoSixFourWins on January 26, 2012, 12:17:16 PM: 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.

Post by: bearpaw on January 26, 2012, 12:39:05 PM: 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.

How about a "Made in the USA" section?

I like that idea. Would be streamlined and work well :twocents:

Dale,

wsmnut

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?

Post by: TwoSixFourWins on January 26, 2012, 01:42:05 PM: Could make it a sticky in the product reviews....just a thought.
