View Full Version : Need help naming a new product!
We have a new target stand that we are trying to come up with a good name for. So far we've come up empty. That's where you come in! We'd love to hear your ideas! Whoever's idea we choose will get a free stand and a target to go on it!
For years people have used the metal Shepard hooks you buy at your local hardware store to hang targets on. Its a great idea. They are simple, lite weight and inexpensive. The issue with them, is that it doesn't take but one or two stray rounds to break them.
We set out to make our own version but far more robust.
Specs:
1/2" AR500 steel for extreme durability
Anti rotation tab on the bottom to keep the stand from spinning from impacts.
roughly 3 ft tall
awesome audible feedback!
MSRP:$30
(The newest generation of this product looks slightly different on the top, but very similar)

We will offer some lite weight versions made of 3/8" AR550! They will msrp for $25. The jump in material cost's for 1/2" AR550 is substantial so depending on demand we might make a run of them, but it will be dependent on interest.

I like it.
I don't know if this had been thrown out yet (or maybe it's already taken?).
"The Boom Stick"
I like it.
The marketing possibilities...
....and not to mention immature sexual double entendre.
Just paint it green and name it something that has to do with zombies. You'll be a millionaire in no time.

Announcer: Now presenting the Beef Stick target stand!
Have your other target stands let you down in the past?
Always spend more time fixing your target from falling off a poorly made wimpy stand then you spend actually shooting at it?
Well those days are over!!!
Announcer: "Now introducing THE BEEF STICK!!! (Heavy trumpet background music).
The Beef Stick is a revolutionary composite of metal, that makes other stands obsolete. Let's hear from some satisfied customers.
Announcer: "Billy Bob what was your experience with The Beef Stick?"
Billy Bob: " I grab my Beef Stick everytime I want to go bang out a few holes in my targets . I never leave it behind"
Announcer: "Awesome Bob how does your Beef Stick hold up to the punishment of constantly being banged?"
Billy Bob: " Well My beef stick is so tough I can push down deep and bang the hell out of it and at the end of the day just rinse it off and take it home. It never bends or breaks and it's so ridged it can really go deep for holding up the Heavest of targets".
I'm going to stop now because I don't want to have to ban myself.

Are they going to be available anywhere in the Denver area? I bet packaging and shipping would be a killer on those.
