I will not give them the advantage of my years of insight into their crossbow design beyond this statement, but anyone considering purchasing one of their crossbows should be sure to ask whether they have product liability if our sample is indicative of their overall quality.
You ask why the post was deleted? Simply because I will not in any way allow that company to use my website to advertise it's products. Am I bitter about their blatent copy of our product? Damn right! I must say though that if they want to copy us they could at least do a decent job of it.
The rules here are pretty simple and I try to let the forum be as much as possible. As I've said in the past, you are welcome to talk about other crossbows here, but this one strikes a nerve with us and we won't allow any promotion in any way of their products.
Bill, thank you for the response. I'm new to this sport due to the fact I WAS NOT ALLOWED by law to own a gun, or get an F.A.C. due to my past. I can now enjoy this sport, sometimes it's a little harder to do, but no the less, I still get to try!
Bill, I can also understand your concerns with this product that's in a direct conflict with your product. I DID NOT say any advertising here? I DID see a long time member of THIS SITE give his honest reply that MANY have about some of OUR concerns for this MIDDLETON xBow! This is your site and if you wish to censor it with regards to a competitors product, than so be it.
I see your bias in your post about "saw the "precision" with which it was built, I forbid my employees from firing it due to serious safety concerns."
Bill, you also stated "Simply because I will not in any way allow that company to use my website to advertise it's products", so I guess the GRAYWOLF is a member of Middleton?
I came to this site to get information AND help in this sport. I see now that there are topics that can not be talked about, even by members that have 1000's of post and knowledge. I just wish there were a set of rules that I could read.
Again Bill and however else, I'm not playing up the Middleton xBow, just trying to get an honest insight into crossbows? Maybe the members can help me with the finer points that me as a newbie is missing? Thanks, and Sorry, Cal
