Why is it impossible to find a company in a competitive market that gives you REAL performance numbers? The numbers your paying a premium for.
Years ago I recall a certain bow manufacturer (un named) that would boast a speed!..... with an * and up to in text so small it wasn’t readable. And they wouldn’t do it, never did. Some not close. And I’m talking REAL numbers not “close enough”. Heck 72 vs 70 is 4fps and 3/8” too long draw is about 3-4... now we have accepted 8 FPS Unearned numbers and still won’t get there. Soon this became the norm and companies were forced to follow suit to keep up with the market. WHY? The numbers are what they are.... so just show them
Then coolers.... a 75qt what holds 60. I don’t give a $$&^, call it what it is so a consumer can compare without doing geometry in their head to see what is a better deal. It is what it is... call it that
Now I’ve been playing with different tree stand options. Not a single stand I’ve tested has hit advertised weight. NONE “11 pounds!”.......of you don’t use a seat or anything to hook it to the tree. Add 3#. Sticks?.... 2.5, whatever add another pound per strap. I shaved 5 pounds off this stand and it’s still 1 over advertised Still the best option and I would have chose it reguardless... so why lie about your numbers?
The best products are still the best products in most cases, but why do they feel the need to flat out lie? Internet sight unseen sales?
Fuel mileage on vehicles.... 32 mpg..... if someone is pushing it
