What Do You Think? Should I Use It?

What Do You Think? Should I Use It?
Well, after the interest here on FPG for Daisy BB Guns, and searching the Net for a dedicated site (and finding none), I started thinking that there might just be a place on the Net for Daisy collectors, enthusiasts, and general Daisy nutcases.

So I went and registered http://www.daisycollectors.com though I am curious just how much traffic and interest it might generate?

What are your thoughts on the subject?

RE: What Do You Think? Should I Use It?
I like the idea, but do you really want to just cater to Daisy collectors? You would get SO MUCH more traffic if you opened a website up for collectors and user's of all makes/models of BB and Pellet guns. True that Daisy is a beloved gun for many generations, but I think you're limiting yourself and the website, with just only one product. I can help with ideas, if needed.

RE: What Do You Think? Should I Use It?
I agree. My only thinking is that there are a number of great airgun sites out there already, and the Daisy, at least the Red Ryder and similar guns are a different breed and different thought process over the high powered target pellet rifles.

I searched the Net and found nothing Daisy specific short of the official Daisy website.

Granted, those that love Daisy's may not account for enough traffic to warrent this website, but I wanted to shag the domain anyway.

Curious to see what gnepig has to say.

Wow, I'm away for a minute and the place grows new forums and gets new web sites... hmm
I like it, I'm wondering how many people like there BB guns enough to hang out and talk about them... Well you and I do anyway and Del is about to bust off of that $29 bucks for him a new Red Ryder Carbine any day now, so there's gotta be more than just us three big kids out there who are still playing with BB guns.
This could be a new nich.

Going to sign up next chance I get.

Yeh, been quiet around here without you, but Del and I have been holding down the fort.

Didn't know if I wanted to start another site, but I just can't let a good domain name go to waste. Somebody'g gotta do it, and if no one else is going to, they by God I WILL.

That's how THIS site came to be. No one else was going to do a free online Firearms Price Guide, so I had to do it myself. So there! Spank

So anyway, with DaisyCollectors.com, once it get's picked up in Google then we'll see if it goes anywhere. I won't spend a lot of my time on that site, I really want to see this site take off. This site gets THOUSANDS of visits a DAY, yet I can't get more than you two and myself to post on the boards. I know there are a LOT of great gun forums out there, but this one seems just a bit different. Not so technical, less snooty, less "My gun is better than your gun" BS.

At least so far, anyway.

Hey Ken, are there any cousins under a different name that is held by Daisy, and are(will) those guns also a part of your new Daisy domain? I was at Cabela's and Bass Pro the last couple days and I saw some cool Pellet/BB guns that I wouldn't mind in my arsenal. I saw Stoeger, Hammerlini, Ruger, Remington, Daisy, Benjamin, Anschutz and some others. Man, there's some quality air rifles out there nowadays.

Daisy also makes a line called Avanti, they are competition type pellet rifles. Check out this Daisy Avanti lever action gun, supposed to be the most accurate BB gun in the world:
http://www.airgunsbbguns.com/Daisy_BB_Gu...nti499.htm

I wonder what makes it better than the Red Ryder and why it's gotta be muzzle loaded?
I deffinately want to try out those Avanti Diablo pellets.

Interesting. Strange though, the muzzle velocity is only about 2/3's that of the Red Ryder (240fps vs. 350fps.).

I dunno, that Red Ryder is mighty accurate from my experiance.

RE: What Do You Think? Should I Use It?
Yes, the only differences I could see from the specs are the overall length (the Avanti is a little longer), and the Avanti has a magnet to hold the BB until fired. Maybe there is a difference in build tolerances/quality. Not made in China?

Oh yeah, back to the topic-ish, I have joined up at your Daisy site. Thumbup
