Reviews

This is just an idea, but I think in order to post a review in the review section, you should actually own what your reviewing.. Like when someone reviews a gun that their freinds own, they don't know what kind of care that gun gets.. So the gun their reviewing is getting a bad review because they have no idea what kind of condition the gun is in.. Just my opinion, and its something to think about..

Yah I know!

I said at top of the page that you have to own the gun, but people post anyways and there is not much I can do!

What totally pisses me off, is when people claim to own a 'gun and give it a ten. These people have never even tried other guns in its class, but they still give it a ten!
ACK! Then you've got the billions of reviews that look like they were written by kindergarden students! Half of them are indecypherable!

Oh well.. just needed some venting

That is true, i find it annyoing when someone say reviews a spyder compact and says it is the best beginner gun in the world, when they probably havent ever used anything but a compact


just my 2 cents

Any review you see that you think is bad now click the "Report this as a badreview" link. We are now checking over the reviews more carefully and I'll delete anything that doesn't sound right or is obviously by someone who doesn't own the gun (they never say any specifics)

I can't stand it when people review something that they dont know about.. I just got a shutter about 3 weeks ago, and i'm going to wait to review it because thats all i've shot, so I don't want to give it a good review and mislead anyone.. BTW, I love my shutter..

I love my Shutter to. :)

perhaps the best thing to do when you review a product is not to compare it to another product. I can claim my marker is the best one in the world, but i really don't have anythin to base that comparison on. instead, write what you like about your marker/goggle/etc and what you don't like about it. Stick to things like how it performed under this condition or that condition, was the marker accurate, air efficient, was the trigger pull firm, soft or nonexistent ... give the reader a good idea about the product and how it works and avoid those over-generalizations.

my penny's worth anyway.

What you could do is start from a ten and subtract for all the problems you've found. To be honest I feel a ten should be rare, I don't beleive people who say nothing is wrong with a given product. There are gripes about everything, too expensive, too heavy, too light. The people who give perfect tens are probably in that period of blind love right after you get the thing you've been lusting for forever.
