Rant Time, please express your thoughts and opinions.
Its been clearly seen that Pyramyd Air only supports everything but Benchrest. PA has been asked time and time again to sponsor USARB sanctioned events like the Northeast regionals (practically in there neighborhood) with no response. A shooter actually went to their front door in Ohio just to talk to someone and was sent away on first attempt because supposedly no marketing people were available . But in less than 20 minutes after this, a "person" was available to talk to him. He was given a listed 75$ break barrel rifle that looks like it was a returned item, a few hats, pellet pens, 100 empty pa bags and a box full of PA product catalogs.... insulting to say the least. The gun was up for raffle at the match, no one would claim it.... PA was contacted again for the US National Championships coming in 9/17, they stepped up and sent a couple tins of pellets, and 48 empty plastic bags..... World Cup is coming up next month, 7 shooters will be representing the US in Europe against 24 other countries.... No support from PA... i know for a fact these shooters spend thousands of dollars with PA on ammo and other products... damn shame. We were basically told we are not worth PA's time. Its a shame say but i will not support PA and my fellow shooters feel the same. Glad to say we are getting huge support from another vendor in Az, they even designed and are providing team shirts for the international air rifle benchrest team. Also sent a large amount of high quality items for the up and coming Nationals.
Its a damn shame....
My rant is this....
The shooter is what makes this sport grow, help the shooter---->the sport grows------> the vendor grows
Glad the folks out West has this figured out.
