MY first and foremost request, Chickie... a website driven by HTML5, not flash-based content. With no extra ads, either.

I don't use social media, and any site that uses them expressly loses my business permanently. YouTube is less bothersome by and large, but I'm personally not going to watch videos on products when there's already kazillions of videos on airguns out there. A good review such as AEAC's or even AirGunGirl's is fine, but I already have limited time for wading through a mountain of video presentations. And making quality videos is expensive and time-intensive. I'd rather see the money I pay go into more product line and parts, not funding videos.Not knocking what you're saying at all, Brandon. It all seems reasonable, but I'd rather not see a company wear blinders and limit the customer base. And for a company just getting it's legs, maintaining a large stock of numerous sizes/brands of pellets on-hand means a huge capital investment from the get-go.Discounts are nice, but quality customer service and the ability to stock parts including barrels is more important to me. Call me old-fashioned in that regard, but the business model in my mind is similar to my employer's, and we're now the Top Dog in our industry and every year is getting better. We put our focus on quality and customer service, and I think this is where a focus on communication is so vital. LOL, one thing for certain... I don't want to see another AoA.
