- In this video I discuss the direction of our CZcams Channel as well as Marksman Shooting Sports and the WBG website. Over the past several months, I have received many questions from you all, so I wanted to take the time to answer those questions in this video. Thanks!
- Sport
Fantastic to hear that you are considering expanding, anytime a gun shop is doing well it's good news.
I think I speak for everyone when I say that we all want more Randy content.
I liked when you tell us how much firearms are roughly going for in used gun of the week!
I enjoy both the unboxing and weekly gun reviews but from a selfish knowledge perspective get more out of the weekly gun review. Your depth of coverage is impressive and it's no wonder it's time consuming. I've wondered how you seem to know and remember all that detail as you successfully present it as off the top of your head.
DITTO MY FREIND
I enjoy all of your videos. The history of the older firearms I really like.
Unboxing videos are rad. If used gun reviews are a hassle, forget em.
Thanks for your time and passion
I really like the used gun reviews. I enjoy learning about many different firearms.
I do enjoy the gun review videos more than the unboxing. Perhaps once a month video for the review style videos so that the turn-around time is not so severe on your time. And, to say, your channel is one of the best ones that I watch.
TBH I love the weekly gun reviews a lot more than the unboxing. The history and estimated price point on the weapon is top notch
Thank you Chris. I have to admit that while the unboxing videos are fun, I get a lot more satisfaction from the reviews. I really enjoy learning the history and development of different firearms. Though I fully understand that they do take longer to make, and demonitization is a real bugger. Wishing you success in all you do, I just wish I lived closer...
I like all of your videos Chris. You are one of the best references on firearms available on youtube. Please keep up the great work!
I'm happy with whatever you guys do. Both formats have their upsides. Do whatever makes your business thrive. All the best to you and yours.
I enjoy watching all your videos, any format. Maintain your presence!
I also visit your website.
Tankx you guys...
I miss the more in-depth stuff, but I like the regular unboxing videos, too. It's all good to me.
Chris - I watch everything you put out. You are a well thought out gun enthusiast that truly loves guns and the business you’re building and the industry you’re in. I watch because you are a “real” person who cares !!! I learn more from the gun reviews but I still learn from the unboxings due to your overall knowledge. I almost enjoy the unboxings more because you guys can relax and be real. Plus I like the bloopers as well. You guys have great chemistry
I hope tube doesn't try to knock out my favorite channel.
As far as I am concerned whatever content you put out I support. This is a great channel for many reasons but especially for 2A reasons so I will continue to support this channel. I do like the weekly reviews as well as unboxing. So maybe a "weekly" review but not as often as weekly. Keep up the great work.
I have always appreciated and watched your gun reviews. I will continue to do so.
Chris I sympathize with you over trying to run a business that is in conflict with the sentiments of a few who regularly calls their congressman n media pushing their agenda. I even see it on the comments that they try to do censorship what have the free world come to. Keep up the great work in education n entertainment of opening those boxes I enjoy them from day one .👍🏻👍🏻❤️🤩
I love and look forward to any of your videos you put out. It doesn't matter to me because your the best on you toobe. Thank you.
We love the Weekly used gun reviews. Even if it were 2 or 3 at a time, it's your best content and why I subscribed. I like the updates and unboxing, but the reviews are the best
Always enjoy your content. Best regards from the UK.
Your channel is great. I love the weekly gun reviews, would still love them if they went monthly, and I like the unboxing videos fine, just not as much as the reviews. I follow you on Utreon as well and just subscribed over there.
Its to bad in order to Make it On U-tube, your only Goal is to keep from gettin Cancelled...Hope Your Channel will continue, and your store and Business to Grow, your are a good Advocate for The 2ND Adn Just being Here...Thanks Chris for all you do...Semper Fi
Rumble is truly growing and getting better all the time. A lot of creators are using CZcams to drag viewers to Rumble by doing the first half on CZcams and the full show on Rumble and posting the link to Rumble below. It takes time but it works. Rumble is the future in my opinion. Rumble will also help you get advertisers.
Chris, I appreciate you brother. Randy as well. Yall are good people. We're running out of folks like us these days. I'll be here watching, no matter what you put out.
Gotta say though, I do miss a WUGR every once in a while. I like the story and the history.
Ether video is OK. I enjoyed both. Seeing what comes in I think is better, and from your time expended, this is the best use of your time!
Unboxing is great. I do enjoy the reviews, i am like you and anything old or a little different i want to know all about it. All the old and wierd stuff i own orr work on, i learn everything i can about it.
I haven't missed a MarksmanTV video in years.
WUGR's are my favourite.
Chris & Ian create the best firearms content on CZcams.
I like all your videos but i'm always on the hunt so the firearms you get in are at the top of my list.
Thanks for the update, Chris! I find the store / industry update videos very interesting. For the moment, I kind of enjoy the unboxing videos more than the weekly used gun review videos. Perhaps you could sprinkle in some of the more in-depth review videos a few times a year. At any rate, all you guys at the shop seem to do a great job, and I'm happy to receive any content that you find time to post. Thanks for all of the great content and for being so transparent. Best of luck to your business going forward!
I enjoy seeing both types of videos and had noticed that the reviews hadn't been shown as much as previously but figured the situationwas pretty much as you've described.
I enjoy both. Why not do a used gun review once a month, rather than weekly? A combination of both would be appreciated.
I second this suggestion
Third.
It sucks that CZcams is messing with you, but I enjoy the unboxing videos. Good luck with the store and the website.
Thanks for the clarification on a lot of questions I've had. Love your channel Sir, die hard watcher no matter which path or direction you choose to go down. BTW, you have a pretty nice website of your inventory, I frequent it often. Take care Chris (and Randy!)
Unboxing videos are good. I do really like the history of different guns.
I'm grateful for whatever content you put out for us. You're driving this bus- you decide, I'm here for the ride
keep doing what you do Chris I like it all !
First off, love the Advil in the background. 2ndly, sorry to hear about the monetization problems. You'd think a company into automation would have a "if channel X gets re-monetized XX% of the time, then turn off auto-de-monetize". But hey, what do I know. Lastly, I also enjoyed the WUGRs for the background and the "what's out there" context. That said, I get good historical info in the unboxing ones, not as in depth but still good stuff. I'd say follow the ROI for time spent. Maybe changing to monthly UGRs??? Or since you know what's coming in for unboxing, setting aside the interesting or oddball ones for the video??? I think the sellers requesting to be in the video is odd, I'd try to cut that off soon. It seems that could escalate over time.
I enjoy your unboxing video keep up the good work
Thanks for taking the time to explain the changes u tube has made. Other channels have mentioned it but not indepth. I enjoy both unboxing and weekly reviews you one of the most informative ones out there and I get a lot out of both. We'll stick with you as you move forward but your business is the most important thing for you.
I enjoy the unboxing videos!
I enjoy everything you put out. The unboxing videos are fun. I find you and Randy very entertaining. I also really enjoyed the reviews as well but I'm going to watch regardless of how you have to go. Good luck and thanks for what you do.
Love all your content. You do what is best for you. I learn from every video. Thanks much, sir. God bless.
As for myself and friends who also enjoy your content here in Vt., We think you're a likeable cat (Randy as well), and enjoy all of your content. Can see how the unboxing vids. make more sense timewise and you always provide a history of the more interesting and/or surplus stuff anyway. Those factors taken into account with more frequent videos make the unboxings a no brainer I think.
Then if you get stuff in that's real extraordinary, you could always do the occasional review if your schedule permits. Thanks for awesome content Chris!
The weekly gun review is what got me hooked on your channel but I also enjoy your unboxing videos. Either way love the channel and glad to see your expanding
You should do a dedicated vlog video on the current state of people selling used guns. I remember when the panic 1st started many suggested that once it subsided there would be many lightly used if not unshot guns coming into the market. Have you seen that yet?
I subscribed to your channel during the pandemic. I enjoy all of your content, the unboxing the most, I guess; I am constantly amazed at your knowledge of firearms. Well done, Chris, Randy and John...😊
Thanks for the update on the store. It makes sense to me to focus on used firearms. A lot of supply exists and people are always looking for something even not serious collectors. I completely understand about the review videos. It's been obvious to me the amount of prep time required to make them. They are uniquely interesting. My only suggestion is to do quick hits. Only review the unique and different and only do 1 firearm. It's a quick hit video - short and to the point. The unboxing videos are fun to watch even the bloopers. As for the delay between the store and the video, the choice is simple. The business comes first. Turn is everything in retail. Keep up the great work and I wish you much success.
I have been with you from the beginning, and I even used your We Buy Guns Service. I enjoy both your unboxing and reviews. I think you need to do what's best for your continued success as a small business. I wish you continued success. You have a totally creative business model!
Do anything that you feel like doing. You're by far my favorite channel. I like the fact that you will talk about legal changes, but not get political. I've stopped watching several channels for that exact reason. One unrelated thing, I've got some that I want to sell but I don't need the ammo for that gun (Sig 357, Tokarev, Grendel, Creedmoor). Do you guys ever buy ammo with a gun?
My favorite thing is the industry update videos from your perspective.
Weekly gun review is far better than the weekly unboxing. General value range and 3-5 min background for design and market is invaluable.
Hi Chris, I absolutely love the unboxings, you and Randy chopping it up is great fun. I. Addition very interesting to see you experts evaluating the levels of condition is a fantastic lesson for us who kick the tires at shows.
You do you Chriss, I will follow, no matter what ever format.
I've watched all of your videos and enjoyed all of them. I'll be watching anything you put out. Please keep up the good work and Thank you for your hard work
I watch all of your videos and hope you keep putting out gun reviews
I like the unboxing videos with you and Randy the best because you have more of them and at great interaction between you two.
Chris
Frank the tank here I love to watch both video's but I will say I enjoy learning about the obscure history of fire arms. Hope all is well and I wish you all the best !
I've been trying to stay away from YT but I look forward to both the reviews and unboxings. I would encourage you to post on your Rumble channel as well and draw your subscribers there as many are. All the best!
Used gun reviews are my favorite. Thank You
Love both the unboxing and you telling us the history of the six you are showing we enjoy you guys thanks for all you do I hope tube stops demontiseing your videos
We l[ke what you do', please keep [t up
Good content either way. I personally love the unboxing vids. Sometimes your gun reviews are a little too long when you are explaining gun history.
Road show episodes would be very cool. You guys would be good at that. Take your scissors! 😂
Honestly the only videos I watch are the unboxing videos. Thank you and Randy for the content.
I really enjoy all your content! But you're right.. CZcams hides stuff.. but you're a top search for me.... worth the extra effort to see your videos...
Hey young Chris kinda been following your channel since in started. Enjoyed all your videos, so to me the format doesn't matter. Nice plug for Advil standing on your computer. Keep up the good stuff.
Thanks for producing great content. The unboxing videos are fun and informative. The used gun reviews are great. Do what works for the business. I like the unboxing - but that's just me.
Look forward to any video you upload. Thank you.
You do a great job!!!!
I actually prefer the unboxing videos as you are showing a lot of guns.
If I am interested in something in particular, I can do further research myself.
I enjoy both types of videos, both the unboxing and weekly gun reviews. Perhaps an idea is to reduce the frequency and the amount of firearms you are reviewing. That way you are keeping diversity in your videos for those who enjoy one or the other and not having to allocate so much time to produce the gun review videos. Really enjoy your channel and will continue to watch whatever you produce. Very unique seeing a firearms channel from a dealer’s perspective which is what I enjoy. Best of luck to you!
I like them all. Could you consider doing a gun review video 1-2 times per month?
It appears the unboxing is the best use of your time. I like sseing all the different types of guns. My local stores have no old / surplus / historic guns processing through, so I really like your content. If you have info on what is out there through the commercial sources that would be great also. I really miss the stock from Southern Ohio Guns. Ah the old days!
I love the concept and the channel, just do whatever you guys can get away with. Personally I like watching the videos and than checking the web store.
I really enjoy the unboxings, it's just fun to see what comes next in each box and the kind of unrehearsed fun. But I really enjoy the history ones too. I do hope that you will consider Rambol a little bit more, at least for a back up. I think it's just starting to catch on, it's gonna take a while. But people like me or just now getting our accounts and subscriptions up and running. You may have gotten 100 views on a video there before, but I think it's going to start picking up.
I have watch alot of the reviews and they're great but I actually get excited when a unboxing video get posted
I like the unboxing videos. If a firearm catches my eye, I head over to the store the next day to look at it.
I really enjoy the unboxing videos and I look forward to new releases weekly. As a matter of fact these videos are my favorite gun content videos on CZcams. Please keep up the great work!
I love all your content
I like the reviews because of the historic aspect of it. The unboxings are interesting because one never knows what is inside. Shame that many of them are not even allowed here in Canada. Too bad you can't buy guns from us in Canada, you seem like a decent and honest fellow to deal with.
Great channel Chris. I enjoy the unboxing videos seeing the stuff people are selling. I've been a subscriber for a long time and enjoy the content.
I like both the review an the unboxing vlogs young man
I must admit that the weekly gun reviews are what drew me to your channel. The unboxing videos are fun to watch, but fast and superficial. Possibly, you could bring the gun reviews down to 5 guns every two weeks. Good luck with your business.
Maybe do a weekly gun review but knock it back to 2 or 3. I love to hear about the history and background of them.
For sure planning a trip to check your store out, I'm like 2 hrs. north. love the channel
We'll look forward to seeing you!
Sadly, it’s an all out attack on the Sportsman at the political level. It’s unfortunate since a lot of newer gun owners get their initial introduction to the world of firearms through these informative and often helpful videos. I will be a forever fan! Keep the quality content coming! Gun reviews are great! Unboxing are also enjoyable. A balance of both is the perfect mix. By the way, I like the bottle of Advil in the background on the PC, that alone shows how much you guys are dealing with in this political climate.
Spot on - What can Not be done by disingenuous legislation or accomplished in the effective courts is pushed out onto the media.
I like the unboxing videos. I just wish I was lucky enough for one of the firearms I sold to your store to show up in a video!
Chris, I really enjoy you and Randy unboxing firearms. Keep on entertaining us.
Imagine! If all the firearms related CZcams channels had links, in their descriptions, to each other, making it easier for viewers to follow those channels they liked, for instance, some of the channels that show shooting and firearm demonstrations linked in your channel and vice versa. My point is an increase in subscribers and views. Many farming video producers are linking together, physically visiting each other, and so on. Millennial Farmer just hit 1 million subscribers.
Thank you Chris. This was an excellent explanation of your business. Personally, visiting your gun store is always a great experience. Also appreciate Randy and John in the box.
Thanks for the video. CZcams is cancelling itself. I'm on rumble more now
I like both , but I really enjoy the knowledge I get from the W.U.G.R. much more ..
How about a weekly mass mailed email to subscribers with new additions with prices. If you don’t already have your subscriber contact information you should make this a priority. These platforms will continue to evolve and restrict. Your videos are a real help as a new collector and shooter.
I dig the unboxing video's....GRIPZONE!
Enjoy the unboxing and new to you firearms. I know is money is important you also need family time. Whatever works best for you is fine with me.
Love your channel
Love the unboxing videos.
I know the some of my fellow gun enthusiast have quit listening to youtube and deleted there apps and websites this may have a contribution to your decline in views , the content in all of your videos are very good to excellent ! Customer says excellent I would agree !
