Coming Soon to WapitiTalk - Gear Reviews

Postby WapitiTalk1 » 12 27, 2018 •  [Post 1]

Working on creating a place in Wapiti Talk that members can offer gear reviews of hunting/outdoors products. A big thanks to one of our MODs (Tigger) for recommending this new forum feature! If you have a piece of hunting/outdoor gear that you'd like to offer a review of, please do so once I get the location set up. It can be a gear item from one of our sponsors, or, from any other outdoor gear company.

The inmates are running the asylum for sure. Isn't Tigger the clown that wanted to defecate on Big Red?

Oh BTW: we have a Gear/Weapons forum.

My belt from the Real Leather Shop has broken in nicely. I absolutely love the look and feel of it!

Stand down mister, you’ll get your chance. And, I’m hoping you’ll set the standard by using the “prescribed format” that will be provided ;)

Ya, Jim at the Real Leather Shop does excellent work. He is a good craftsman.

Of course Lefty would like the idea. He is a lefty.

I'll have a recommended format/template for folks to use when they write up the reviews. They will be urged to use this template in an effort to somewhat standardize the reviews (i.e., 1. Product Information (key specifications, initial thoughts, etc.), 2. Review of Product Features (does it work like its supposed to, applicability, etc.), and finally a Conclusion/Summary (quality, value, likes/dislikes). Once my web dude gets the icon changed in the Gear/Weapons sub-forum, I'll sticky up some guidance on review structures :). And absolutely, if other members have some additional insight/experience on the product, they can chime in! RJ

Allrighty, it's live. If you'd like to post a gear review, please go the Gear/Weapons sub-forum and do your best to follow the "guide" I placed in the top/announcement section.
