Hey Randall the site looks great.

From my PC everything works like it should and is very easy to navigate.

From my Droid/Mobile somethings are superimposed but all of the navigation works fine.

Overall great job.

Nice site ,great pictures, great videos, great layout. You might look into updating state that allow ownership I did not see Kansas on there or Missouri . MO you need to hold a FFL too own but other than these small issue I say excellent work.

cool site - email sent. it's very similar to the way AAC does stuff on their pages though.... not a big deal to me, but could be to them. Eh, whatever, you are selling their products anyway...

Bowen- I agree, but the majority of the non educated public still walk in our range and ask if the can get there class 3 liscense here? So with that, we have to speak a language they understand buddy!!

I entered, thank you for the contest!

The site looks good, too. Very professional. The only issue I see is that the cufon javascript (evil... EVIL I SAY!) makes the primary navigation wiggly on mouse-over in IE8. Props for the effort to keep all links as text, though. I just know that script can be a pain in the ass when it comes to cross-browser compatibility and load times (if your site is text heavy). Load times look good for this, though so no worries there.

The website crew did a great job, you should be proud of them. :D I'm just paid to be picky about this sort of thing. I'm actually impressed how well things worked out using Cufon-yui.js. I've seen other sites using it that made me want to throw my computer out the window because it slowed the site down so much. Your site is solid, slick looking, and simple to use. Congrats!

Love the site. I don't know why people say that AAC might be mad at you for using their images. Who cares? You sell the hell out of their product, so I bet that they like their images on your site. Free is always great.

Fast and easy to use.

Some of your links are pointing to the wrong place. I was on the detail page for the Evo-9 piston and clicked Pistol & silencer packages and it took me back to the main accessories page.

Same sort of thing when you are on a certain silencer's page. click any link and it goes up one level in the silencers, not the subject you clicked.

Your link on the main page "about 3 hours ago" is broken.

Why not have a 'shopping cart' to allow folks to order accessories from the web page without calling?

Nice.

I also noticed that when I use the "Back" button on my mouse it takes me to the home page. Regardless of where I am.

As a photographer I can tell you we can be VERY anal about who gets to use the images we shoot when it comes to commercial purposes. Most photographers, unless in-house employees of a company, control who gets to use their images and where. I'm pretty sure Jason shot those images, so since he's an employee AAC might have control over the usage rights.

Copyright infringement is a BIG deal. It's always better to ask permission when planning to use a manufacturer's product photography for commercial purposes.

They did ask, and they are good to go. Randall and company do things by the book.

We are happy to provide images to authorized dealers and distributers that want them.

That said, straight up infringement/stealing of stuff is a big deal.
