I started a thread several months back regarding Walmart vs pro shops when buying broadheads. I had a question about the quality because the performance and durability was very noticable. The walmart muzzy's broke or became burred after shooting a deer. I had never had that problem out of Muzzy's before.

Do I think Wal-mart squeezes companies to make cheaper products........yes! Here is another link regarding "Snapper" mowers that helped me make my decision. Enjoy!

"The Wal-Mart vice president responded with strategy and argument. Snapper is the sort of high-quality nameplate, like Levi Strauss, that Wal-Mart hopes can ultimately make it more Target-like. He suggested that Snapper find a lower-cost contract manufacturer. He suggested producing a separate, lesser-quality line with the Snapper nameplate just for Wal-Mart. Just like Levi did."
