Last week we ran a review of a TriStar Raptor–a Youth Model in Muddygirl Pink<\/a><\/a>. Several of you had some strong opinions about the color choice.

So Here’s the Question:<\/h2>\n

These gun companies value users’ opinions. They value our opinions. Many of them are actually pretty responsive to the views expressed by our reviews, and the comments you make in response to our comments. So let’s give them a better sample to work with.<\/p>\n

If you have a young shooter in your life, girl or boy, teenager or younger, ask them how they feel about pink guns. Get a quote. Paste it into the comments below.<\/p>\n

And while we’re at it, ask the women in your life. Grown daughters, mothers, wives (if you have more than one), friends, etc. Anyone you know who has a considered opinion. If you happen to fall into this category–we do have a growing female readership–weigh in yourself.<\/p>\n
