It was bound to happen

[urbanrifleman]

I started my company on a couple of bag riders. Then Forum made me a sponsor. Then I never went back to work after covid and expanded into a full line of products.

So, now here is a guy that copied the original bag rider exactly and is selling it on Amazon. Nice. I suppose it was just a matter of time.

I figure God got me started with a couple of simple bag riders. My Mom financed the expansion of my business after she went to heaven. I have lots of really great customers and products now.

That little guy was the mustard seed that moved the mountain.



Heck, I'm not even mad. It's been a miracle.

I have one your bag riders and a shooting buddy has one of the Amazon counterfeits. Yours is slick and glides on the bag. The counterfeit has the texture of a corn cob.

Too cool !!
I was reading all about those Lil mustard seeds and mountains being moved while sitting in DMV on Monday.

I kind of looks like crap. Not going to lie.

I've made about 2000 of those little guys. I've learned a lot about 3d printing quality. My latest versions are the smoothest I've ever made.

I know some of these new printers are even smoother and better than mine.

This is my latest version. I have to say I am very proud of the finish. They were a bit rougher when I started for sure!!!

My wife said something this morning.

She said "it's never been about what you sell, it's about what God provides".

It really is about faith in God. Every single day. God moves all things to His will. Actually, we move nothing.

Do you make one for a Arca rail

No patent I take it?
Darn when you got a good product and someone tries to undercut you with a copy instead of thier own design.

I doubt I could have patented this one. And since I no longer have a free patent attorney, it would not be cost effective.

Quality will still sell.
I have been so disgusted with the horrible quality of some of the 3D printed products I've bought. Some guys really don't grasp the fact that nobody wants something that is rough as a cob and oversized on every dimension.

I own two of the Pic rail models and two of the ARCA models of your bag rider. Also one of he pic rail rear bag riders.
Friends don't let friends buy cheap knock offs made in China!

Why I limit my products.

I like my arca mount-

Pros-
- long enough for anyone, on any rest, tree limb, tailgate, or sand bag-
-It’s light weight
-doesn’t flex
- it’s slick doesn’t need wax to slide on a bag


Con’s-


I need 3 more-

I’m a shooter and gun enthusiast, but above that i love the Lord and I’m a pastor. I appreciate the business I’ve done with you and I appreciate your Godly mindset even more. With that attitude you’ll be very successful, here, AND hereafter!
Blessings.
