Hmmm, How To Take This?

A message to our loyal customers,

Lately, we’ve heard through customer calls and comments that everyone’s having a tough time finding ammunition and guns on our website.

Sometimes big companies in charge of creating how things work on the Internet create specific rules. We may not like them, but we have a need to comply by them. And, that’s what’s happening with ammunition and guns on our website.

Recently Google sent us a notice that in order for us to advertise through them, we had to remove direct access related to shooting, namely ammunition and guns. We can sell it on our site but we can’t make it “directly” plain and visible for you when you visit our website. Trust me, it’s something we don’t like, but sometimes you just have to play fair and respect the rules. And, yes, some of you are going to go to our competitors and tell us you’re able to find it easier on their websites. Well truth be told, our competitors aren’t playing by the rules, and that’s simply not what we’re about at Mack’s.

But don’t worry, Mack’s Prairie Wings will still sell ammunition and guns for all those who love hunting. Want ammunition? Just type in the word ‘ammo’ and you’ll see the best deals we have on the best brands. If you want an over under 12-gauge, just enter ‘over under’ in the search box and you’ll find what you’re looking for without a problem.

So you may have to search a little differently on our website, but you’ll find what you need and we’ll make sure you’re treated with the same friendly service with the best deals on the best products on the Internet that you’ve come to know from Mack’s Prairie Wings.

Things have changed a lot over the years, but your patronage has made us who we are today. And, now that we’ve explained how to find some of the things you need on our website, we hope you’ll visit often and make us your number one choice for all your hunting needs.

And once again, thank you all for making us who we are today – America’s premier waterfowl outfitter.

Chuck Lock
Executive Vice President
Mack’s Prairie Wings

Not their fault, they are just saying that in order to advertise through google they have to play by googles rules.. sucks but its not like they have stopped selling ammo.

[MossLake]

Agreed. And would be too big a loss to ditch advertising through google....
Puts em in a tough spot.

THink it's dumb that's the state we are in when a hunting outfitter can't advertise that it sells ammo

Google is the problem. This isn't the 1st time they have tried to use their power to enforce their beliefs on companies and the people. I'm not convinced their isn't a political agenda connection.

Of course there is. Corporations and special interest lobbyists run Washington.

Sad state we are in, instead of looking at the root issue (lack of mental healthcare access and treatment) they are going to go to full lengths to demonize the tools the crazy people decide to use.

Go to google and type in "ammo for sale" and, you find About 13,900,000 results (0.28 seconds). I think this an attempt to gather attention and nothing more.

"I don't know. Let me yahoo that" just doesn't have the same ring
