Hi Rob;
You know I used to think that very same way until I realized that by wearing my Colt shirts actually helped me and just not Colt. How is that possible you ask?
Well, for one thing, people who I'd never met would say to me, "
Oh you like Colt"? Of course I'd say yes I do in fact I shoot them a lot. Funny thing was, that sometimes when I mentioned that I do enjoy Colts and shooting I end up in a conversation that has often lead me back to the range, with a new "
customer". Believe it or not but that has happened to me at least three times that I can remember and boy it felt so darn good to know that just by wearing my Colt shirt of sweater (
I have a few of both) I was able to bring new people into the sport. Two of those people became pretty good friends that I still associate with to this day.
So, why would I wear a shirt and advertise free for a company? Simple, it is good for me. It is good for the future of the sport I love most, and it just feels good to be a part of such a huge and wonderful thing.
Bring on the Colt garments, I'll wear them for you.
Bud
Nope, I tend not to be a walking advertisement for a company, unless they want to pay me.
