Thankfully mine are already plastered across the net
Ok my real name and nude pictures of me are coming soon…….
If you want to know everything about posters including pics of the poster start a Facebook group. Don’t waste a fortune on a forum and have to over moderate it to the point of obscurity…. :2cents:
I hope Aj doesn’t mind me posting this, he sent me this in PM on AGN thinking I was KS
My name is Aaron Robnolte. I am soon to be 35 years old. A husband of nearly 12 years, a father of 2 and soon to be 3!! I was born and raised in Ohio and my only residence outside the Buckeye state was my time in the Army at Ft Benning. I was raised by farmers and living off the land and basic survival wasn’t a class in school, but a way of life. I was hunting with firearms by age 7 and have spent my life as a hunter that to this day still prefers wild game and homegrown fruits and vegetables over store bought any day!! I live a rather simple life compared to most which allows me a lot of time and freedom to do as I please. A welder/fabricator and machine operator by trade my career path has led me back to my military days, as I have spent the past 9 years building military combat vehicles (specifically the Abrams main battle tank) for one of the world’s largest military contractors.
My wife’s grandfather got me interested in airguns well over 10 years ago. My initial airgunning was more of a novelty that turned into a much greater interest that culminated into a passion. I have owned everything from the high end to the low end and everything in between. During my quest, my current place in the airgun world is a reflection of my dealings with the airgun industry coupled with my personal desires of what I want from an airgun. That has led me to the Marauder as my favorite platform, a platform that I base my tuning and modification business around. After bad deals with the sole importer of a number of imported guns and not happy with the price of other offerings, I decided on a platform that had a great following , a great price, the best parts availability, coupled with probably the best aftermarket support of any other brand/model. My experience and opinion is mine and mine only. I accept the fact that everyone has different experiences and opinions. It is what used to make the forums great!! The current trend on all the forums tends to be the current mindset of the public, which is plagued by an inability to accept facts over fiction and the desire to hide behind screen names on social media and push personal agendas.
Instead of hiding behind screen names, trying to profit from shady tactics, and an overall lack of decency on the forums, be HONEST!! The direction of the industry is sad. Nearly everything is way overpriced and of inferior quality. Sales tactics are worse than a buy here pay here car salesman. There are still a lot of good people in the industry and even more wonderful forum members spread between all the various forums and fortunately some of them frequent multiple forums. I am a young man and surely can’t take credit for most of what I have learned. Folks like Harry, Bob Sterne, LD, Timmy Mac, Mike Reames, Motorhead, Oldpro, and many others have done the leg work that has enabled me to simply run with their ideas. I hope to one day be one of those that helps others learn and makes advancements in the airgun world!!
Our motives for posting should be to help others and contribute to the advancement of our hobby. Is it too much to ask that we all be honest about our identities, honest about our motives, and help to change the culture from negative to positive in regards to all airgun forums? We shouldn’t be censored and shouldn’t be prohibited from exposing the shady ways of the industry regardless if they are a sponsor or not!! Facts should rule and not BS opinions or sponsor guarded talk!!
I encourage everyone to tell everyone who you really are, why you feel like you do regarding your opinions and overall just be honest and forthcoming!! The behind the scenes paid spokesman, shady business tactics, and overall dishonesty of the forums needs to stop and we can change that!! I am not an insider or paid spokesman. I am just a passionate airgunner who knows where he fits in and would appreciate unbiased posts and info and an overall more positive environment amongst all the airgun forums.
For clarity, I am posting this to every forum that I am a member of!! This is not to single out a certain forum or member, but to ask for a culture change in the airgun community.
Thanks for your time
Aaron Robnolte
Arron,
I have a totally different take on the opinions I have read by some of the people who have a vested interest in keeping a lid on problems. First off Tominco is full of shit. He has been bought and paid for by FX same as Ted and same as Micheal. They have been tasked or they feel obligated to keep a lid on items that have been flawed and to keep the truth from the consumer. That is the only reason they exist on the forums. Neil is also looking for a safe space where everything is handled out of the forums and only positive information is written about him and his products. The fact is if you have a true hater and product basher on a forum he will be exposed in a short amount of time. There is no reason to even worry about a guy like that. The irony is that most of the product bashers are on AGN. The simple fact is here on TAG if you’re a bullshit artist you will be exposed.
I would love to have had someone be totally honest and tell me what’s up when I first started in this hobby. Don’t you want someone to tell if a gun is being sold with bad barrels? The premise that the “shills” present over there on airgun sale nation is handle your problem with the dealer. I say what a selfish thing to do. Sure contact the importer/dealer but what’s wrong with warning your bros of an inferior product?
Just for the record I’m the guy NC was talking about “bashing” his product without calling him first. In fact I was not bashing his product but offering what I found was a better option. I didn’t just present “opinion” in this thread I backed up my information with facts that included a sound meter.
here is the thread
