Yes, Wyvern sells equipment and his recommendations revolve around his business. There are several dittoheads that will immediately chime in to tell you how great he is. You should take that for what it worth. There are gems to be gleaned in what he says but just remember he is on the forum to sell product.

Most forums don't allow posters to use the forum to sell goods. That is why the site sells banner ads and has sponsors. WC does not support the forums that he uses as the primary source of getting new customers. His posts fundamentally revolve around his business. Imagine what the forum would be like if there were four or five people vying for your business. Do you think you would get a more balanced view then?

Forums are not for dealers, they are for increasing the knowledge base within the industry. There are other forums that have 5 to 10 times the posting traffic that this site and atalk has combined. Those other sites have dealer / manufacturer specific forums that allow you to ask manufacturers reps directly.
#1. Balderdash ... #2. Wyvern's primary source for new customers is: fair prices, superb customer service, fortitude to recommend product choices to customers based on their wants & needs, and trust. Basically "word of mouth" so to speak. #3. I'd love to have 5 suppliers and/or manufacturers debating the plus & minus of each other's products on a forum. NOTHING would fly under our radar in that case!!! LOL #4. Forums are for everyone ... this is USA not communist China. While our First Amendment rights are abridged unequally on different forums, apparently Archery Talk and HUNTINGNET aren't trying to throw a censorship blackout net over the 800 pound gorilla of Wyvern Creations to stifle the competition and prevent him from taking all their customers. #5. Wyvern has the guts to take manufacturers to task IN PRINT, on forums. The last thing I think of when somebody mentions Wyvern is that he's a manufacturer's shrill. I often think he's a little nuts business-wise for chewing them out publically. He’s also willing to share valuable insider information concerning how the manufacturer to supplier to customer system actually works. Often manufacturers are NOT doing something for the reasons we see. This awareness can change the whole landscape of a products place with the competition's products. “Advantage ... consumer."

No my friend ... Wyvern is an asset to the consumer on multiple levels. I ain’t married to the guy and I’m largely price driven ... but let’s call a spade a spade here.

wow, this has been a x-bow learning deal for a guy that didn't know what one was a week ago. i am fixing to order, friday, a cross bow and all the goodies that make it go. i will order it from david without a shadow of doubt. i have emailed him back and forth the last few days with bunches of newbie questions. each time except the last he responded within 30 minutes. the last time it was the next morning. i didn't realize until now how many folks he deals with every day. with the exception of this one clown everything i have read about him has been more than positive. he has been honest, given me several options based on what i told him and left the choice to me. even to the point of doing some swap outs on on rings, scopes, etc., based on my wants. i will talk to him friday and make my choice and place a order. i know nothing about the cross bow faternity, but i can read people like a book. i would put a large buck down on david. you bad mouth folks need to go away and maybe take some of david's qualities with you.
