About Our Web Site

About Our Web Site

The Factory Sales site you see before you is the culmination of many years of experience operating 2 previous versions of our online store. We have listened to our customers, researched current trends in web design and tested many new techniques in an effort to provide you with the best shopping experience possible. This site is designed to incorporate new web technologies in a way that is fresh and intuitive while at the same time being familiar and comfortable for our faithful customers.

The most apparent change is our new, 3 column, according style layout which is a major upgrade from our previous fixed width, 2 column layout. This new design allows you to expand or shrink the width of our site to better fit your display and provides more space for expanded navigation menus that make finding the products and information you seek much easier. Behind the scenes we have taken advantage of a leading, database driven, shopping cart system with a great deal of custom programming to provide many new features that were not possible before.

Features include:

  • Advanced Site Search

  • Online and FAX orders only
    Helps us keep costs low and improves our efficiency so we can provide you the best service at the lowest price possible.
  • Multi-Thread Design
    Provides multiple paths to everything on our site. Because people like firearms are not "one size fits all", we have provided multiple pathways to reach every item. This lets you use the pathway that suits you while ignoring the rest.

And this is just the beginning. Our staff is already working hard on new features to bring you the information you want and need, we are seeking out new products to better meet your needs, and, as always, we look forward to your suggestions on how we can do a better job. We hope you find this new site as fun to use as we did in building it and that it makes your shopping experience more enjoyable and efficient thus leaving you more time for the shooting we all love.
