 Is there anyway this site could start an on line petition to send to ammunition and firearms manufacturers to show interest in developing new products.  It seems like the large number of serious turkey hunters on this site could act as a lobbying force for improving availability of products we would all benefit from.

My first idea would be the reintroduction of the old federal 10 and 12the gauge loads with the classic wad and shot weight?

Looking for any opinions and in site from administrators and members.

You have to send emails and  talk to the right people -Let them know that they could make money by selling a product , or developing a product that the public desires - be courteous and helpful  that's the way to do it

I want you and the members to know that a company makes and sells products that they hope that they can sell for some profit , that's how it works in America a free trade capitol system - They reserve the right to sell and make product that deem fit - If you can convince them that there is a market share available , you may have their ear 

In the past .... We have had some people resort to embarrassing and improper public bashing of products , and I mean a coordinated effort to undermine a companies reputation or slander a products performance by publicly distributing information , some or most of which was totally false or exaggerated - its not acceptable here - so please avoid negative type information , it is damaging to a companies reputation - thank you in advance for assistance in that area of concern ---

I would , try to use the phone , and get a hold of the Research and Development  (R&D) people of a company , you would be surprised how easy it is .... and lend them your constructive thoughts , make sure to let them know of any products you would like to see them develop , and that there is more people that think the same way

You make some excellent points.  A company must do what they deam correct to make a profit. It is the free economic system this country is based on and it works.  However companies who remain flexible and strive to meet the needs of its customers many times excell.  I believe that a respectful collective voice is an excellent way to change things for the better.  Whole-heartedly I agree with you that negatively and slander undermine a groups goals and reputation.  Perhaps this idea could still work.  The members of this site and board in specific veiw turkey guns as a hobby within a beloved pastime.  We as a group spend our money accordingly buying not a box of shells a year but several boxes. 

Either way thank you for your reply.
