Good Morning Guys,
Before I say anything, I want all you to know that this business has,and always, been Gods work and not mine.
This time, 10 years ago, I was in my 40 x 30 building at home making Vapple wind checker bottles using cement mixers to blend. I never imagine what the next 10 years would have looked like. Because of you, we kept expanding and developing more products that took us across the country. I just went thru and read all the reviews, again, from 2013 till present. I still have the feeling of reading these reviews, which is a satisfaction of helping people in this sport. I even still remember the first online order we received from Paul Keen and the excitement of the first store we set up. I cherish all the friendships I made and memories of trade shows and hunts together. You are the reason we kept going this long. More importantly, The opportunity to share Christ to so many people that I could have not done on my own.
From day one, Vapple Products has never cut corners to make more profit. When I met with the top 3 box stores in the country, the wanted more of the pie, which would require us to change our formulas to make a profit. I walked away from those deals.
I said that to say this, those reviews I mention, the phone calls saying that Vapple has helped them, would not be the same if we went down the path of greed. I can sleep at night knowing we looked out for our customers.
Having said all that, time changes a man. For me, I now have 6 grand babies under the age of 7. I am 10 years older but don't feel it, yet. My time has become more valuable in things I want to pursue. My sport of choice now is competitive bass fishing. So yea, time has change my paths. It is very hard for me to say this, but this will be the last hunting season for us at Vapple Products.
You guys have blessed us with 10 great years. Starting in a few weeks, we want to give back to you as much as you gave to us so please visit the website and this page.
At the end of the season, I would like to do a live video and talk with some of you guys that I haven't seen in awhile.
God Bless and safe hunting!
