Title: This year, Business is the worse.
Post by: customgunsocks on March 15, 2011, 09:51:23 AM
Well, this year is the worse year for us in the 3 1/2 years. DOnt know what to make of it, those expensive decoys are still selling, but our decoy bag sales and roll-up, ect. are way down. I know it isnt from our prices or quality. Makes me sad, were going under, just dont know how much longer we are going to keep going at this rate. For those of you that enjoy and like our products, please tell a friend. On a personal note, I have turned ill, cant work and no insurance, I would sure appreciate giving us a thought before purchasing from some CHinese guy. Thank you, Tom

Hey Tom,

I just ordered a double decoy bag for my DSD hen and jake decoys. They look good and I have been meaning to order one. I will look around and see if there is anything else I can buy. I will keep you in my prayers and I hope that things pick up real quick for you, and I also pray for healing for you!

Hang in there buddy!

Our biggest is the double decoy bag, which is a big bag, but I dont believe it would carry 3, there is one soft fleece divider running down the center of the bag for 2 seperate compartments. Lately we have had a few requests to sew a gobble lounger onto the decoy bag, also an extra bag sewn on the decoy bag for a primos shooting stick, I cant see why we cant sew a single decoy bag on top of a double decoy bag, would give you 3 seperate compartments, one sling, 2 seperate draw cords, but it would run $75.00.

I got the lounge sack with the decoy bag sewed on to it. It turned out great and will be carrying it out in the woods when I have to make those long public land hikes! I really liked that you sewed the camo orange flap on the inside also. I'll be ordering a few more things myself. Chief.

Just placed an order online for your double camo decoy bag to carry my DSD hen and jake.  These look like great quality and I can't wait to get them.  Another big plus on these looks like the stake holder as I have already lost a few of the DSD stakes as they have slid out of the crappy green bags you get with them.

Thanks

Tom I've just come up with another idea, I was thinking of maybe getting the lounger bag and having you sew one of your camo pot and box call holders on it. How does that idea sound? Chief.

We can do that, we have sewn the roll ups on all sorts of things lately, and have made alot of back to back bag cominations.Today my wife attached her hand made back pack to her lounge chair and she said she is going to put a sewn in rollup on the inside of the back pack, actually the combinations are endless. I know we have made you some items in the past, that we dont offer.
