Title: Made in the USA, is it important to you, if so help me out here.
Post by: Strick9 on May 07, 2015, 11:42:20 AM
DSD Decoys, Yes Made in the USA, others?

Shotguns?

Custom Pot Calls, yes, how about the others?

Diaphragms, I can see these getting outsourced, maybe call out the ones made overseas.

Camoflauge Manufacturers, Here is a biggy, list how many you know or use that are made in the USA..

At the end of this list lets all try to steer our purchases to the direction of buying from USA Producers, it only makes sense..

My H&R shotgun is made in China, one thing I don't like about it.

Most of my calls are made from the woods here where I live, mainly bamboo and turkeys. I don't know where Woodhaven mouth calls are made but I have a couple of those and one from Gooserbat.

Danner boots are made in USA and can be added to your list. Some red wings. Some anyway. It's very important to me n I live it. Don't buy anything Chinese or Asian for damn sure if I can help it.  Don't have a single electronic device except my phone and Foxpro.
No, computer, tv or anything. most guys won't make such sacrifices. Better to find the product than find reasons you don't buy USA

It does not bother me if it is not made in the USA. Many times outsourcing portions of products or the entire product allows a company to be competitive and employ 100s or 1000s of people in the US where as if they only sold US built items they would not be able to compete and therefore never have been in business to begin with. As far as quality if you are a smart consumer products produced overseas often are very good quality. Many people are simply ignorant to the fact we are a global world and economy 1900 has come and gone. Having said that if its your personal preference to spend your money on only 100% USA built items to each their own but someone who does not is not less American.

Yep some Danners, some Red Wings, some Chippewaa, etc. as far as the global economy thing posted, I understand where it comes from but it's to me no different than the Dixie Chicks claiming being unpatriotic is very patriotic. Not saying the other poster isn't, It just seems excuses are easy. I believe the poster may benefit from a global economy. God bless ya but there are people need jobs out there.
People w families, not all of em even healthy.
Think about it, our labor force is being over run w illegals, our schools, hospitals, jails all pay the price.
Non American gangs are popping up everywhere and infiltrating our military. They're also killing our law enforcement.
I plain out say screw em all. Americans have done a lot in a few hundred years. I ain't letting no one take that away from us.
Buy American everything. To the union workers, use your heads n be reasonable price wise. The insane wages are not making it harder for someone who speaks no English to do your job for much much less.
On second thought I do think it's non patriotic to think anything even remotely against the USA, especially not feeling her pain.
Wake up folks.

As to global economy, how is that working out for us these days?

Camo clothing personally started this for me as Toxeys line has just gone down the drain since he switched, can't tell you how many pairs of xyz items I have sent back to Mossy Oak.

If the product was manufactured here in the USA , wouldn't those 100s-1000s of jobs you speak of be located here? Your reasoning sounded good but um to me its foggy at best.

Ulitmate camo will be in my next camo purchase thats for certain.
