geez..... even i can shoot with crooked arrows :groan:

 

They are finfinder shafts. i talked to Bowfishing extreme. Innerlocs say Glass max on them. i spoke to Connie today at Innerloc. I am Friends with them from when I was a sales rep. She said they do not make arrows for OMP.

The Pink, Blue and plain orange shafts are OMP shafts and they are CRAP>>>> I have not spoke to a retailer yet, that has got any thing good to say about OMP shafts.

 

I can't imagine all of this publicity does a company any good at all. I know if I was involved with that company, I would do anything I could to make it right and perform some actual customer service.

 

Lol..I might add every yellow jacket I've ever. Receive has been straight and true

 

Yeah but Cajun makes those and everybody already knows their chit is good.

 

glad i didnt buy any of em lol i cant play a fiddle for nothin lol sounds like a mass produced piece of crap. i dont understand why someone can just come out with something and it be like that and them know it and still just sit there n twiddle there thumbs n not say anything about it. it would be nice to just take a road trip down there n line them fellers up ya talked to n shoot them warped shafts at them. hey i gots an idea send em to ky bighead lol he been shootin crooked with his new favorite toy. them things might have just enough hook in em to make him shoot straight

 

if i used any of their junk I'd mail it back to them with a copy of this thread...but i don't...i stick to the good stuff...cajun and muzzy...shure shot...ff...the good stuff....oh and I have drank the cool aid too....

 

AH HA!! I could tell by your avatar that you was a kool aid drinker!

 

Just remember............ Cheap chit isn't good and good chit isn't cheap!

 

There ya go....


I havent seen any of their arrows, so I cant say nothing about them, However, OMP's finger savers... well they slide up and down the arrow too easy, have to put nock rings all over the string to keep them in place. Only reason I got em is cause my G/F wanted blue instead of the brown...

They need to do some more R/D on their products and quit spending so much time pushing their products on facebook in my opinion.

 

The Staffers get all the hand picked stuff. Defect free. We consumers get all the crap with left turns in them. I swear some of them have almost an inch of bow in them. How the hell does that make it past quality control. Oh Yeah, Thats right. OMP has NO QUALITY CONTROL.

 

Wow, this is not good to hear. There is more than a few people looking at this thread.

 

Hey Bodycarver, Thanks for the "Heads Up" about OMP. I do not mind spending money when I know a Company stands behind their product. Just don't want to spend it on one who doesn't care about Customers.

I've PMed you too.

 

Hate to hear that man. I have been screwed by a decoy company cuz they sent me snows insted of canadas and they wouldnt make it riight, I told them id paint them myself and the could ensure I wouldnt be back. I have never and I mean never recieved a crooked arrow from any company. Post a picture of a straight one next to a crooked one.

 

Really?!!!Before I started shooting Y.J's,1 or 2 out of five of any fiberglass arrow isnt straight!!!Some not as bad as others but if they dont pass the spin test I chuck em

 

HERE IS A NICE GIFT I JUST RECEIVED::::: I GUESS THE VOICE OF BFC HAS A LOT OF POWER>>>>>>>

Doug,

Good Morning. My name is Dave Parker and I am the Sales Manager for Kinsey Archery/October Mountain Products which is the parent brand to Fin Finder Bowfishing. I have been made aware of your dissatisfaction with your purchase of an older version of the Fin Finder Raider shafts that you purchased from an on-line retailer. Please accept our apologies as I will have to take the sword on this one as I will explain.

Matt Smith informed me last week of a customer who had purchased 20 discontinued Raider shafts and is making claim that 17 of them are unusable and that the customer would like replacement. Please understand Doug, we have sold many thousands of Raider shafts and have not had 17 returns total in over two years that this product was on the market so it did not seem like a credible claim to me. That is what I told Matt my feeling was. Matt responded to you based on what I had told him. My intention was to get back to Matt after giving it some thought as to how to resolve this positively for you. Matt took the initiative to get back to you promptly and he informed you that we couldn’t replace the shafts based on what I told him before I had a chance to create a resolution. Well, I became involved in another issue and did not get back to Matt with a resolution before the end of the day. My bad, not an excuse, but that is what happened and it is my fault. Bad timing and miscommunication on our end. To leave you with product you weren’t satisfied with was not my intention but unfortunately that is how it turned out. 100% my fault.

We are going to send to you today, 20 of the 2011 version of the Fin Finder Raider bowfishing shafts as replacement for the ones your purchased. I am also going to send you 3 of the new Fin Finder Hydro-Glass arrow with Penetrator point and installed Lumenock. This is the first generation of bowfishing arrows with the Hydro-Tek nock system. I think you will find it to be a premier product. I am also going to send you the new Fin Finder Hydro-Glide arrow rest for you to try. Please accept these along with our apologies.


Again, I offer my apologies and assurance that our company is founded on premier Customer Service, albeit this was not a good example. We have been an industry leader for over 60 years and we are one of the most trusted and respected companies in the Archery Industry. When we launched the Fin Finder brand we committed ourselves to bringing high quality innovative products to the bowfishing community. The overwhelming response we have enjoyed from the bowfishing community has confirmed we are on the right track. I am confident you will continue to see Fin Finder continue to bring exciting new products to the bowfishing market.

If I can be of service any further in regards to this issue or at any time please don’t hesitate to contact me.

Good shooting,

Respectfully,

Dave Parker

:applause:

 

If you still refuse to shoot their products I will happily test out the Hydro Glass with luminock arrows for you.....of course after I put some muzzy tips on the front ends!

 

I am really glad to see that,after Jeff pointed out who they were I assumed something like this would happen....glad it did!
I wish like heck I had not chucked mine!!!

Kudo's to you Mr. Parker,and I look forward to using your products in the future.....you should become a sponsor on this site however!!!!

 

Sounds good on paper let's see how they look when they come in!

 

id throw it all in the trash, looks like to me they didnt give a rats ass til they saw how big you were making it and how many potential customers you were stearing away by this thread and now they want to "patch" things up. Screw them ill never buy anything from them...iv already heard first had that their tips would just fall right off the arrows right outta the package...JUNK

I'm with this guy... I have had the same problem with Mud Buddy Mud Motors... I had so many dang problems and was on the phone with them all the time and couldn't get anything fixed or replaced... and was even told I was too hard on the motor...lol..... but then one time I had it and started blasting them on a major waterfowl hunting forum and there own personal forum... then all of a sudden I started getting them to kizz my azz and got the owners personal phone number incase I had any more problems...... as soon as I can afford and gator tail ... I will say bye bye to Mud buddy...

Jake

 

well there you go...

that is a good effort to make things right!

 

Well glad to see they're gonna make it right for you! However I bout the fin finder arrow rest and it lasted o let's say 2 mins tops n the screws stripped out before they were anywhere near tight enough..... so I shall stick to my muzzy fishhook rests and my cajun yellow jacket arrows.

 

Just sent 2 doz back today not to happy with them fred@F&D

 

Dang

 

Glad your getting some stuff sent to ya. Hope they're better this time (gonna bet your probably gonna get a hand picked batch this time), but if nothing else at least you'll get a few luminoks outta the deal. Just goes to show, the squeaky wheel gets the grease.

 

AAARRRGGGHHH!!! I wish I had found this post about two hours earlier the other day. I just bought two OMP Fin Finders at a local shop, 'cause hey, that orange color is pretty sharp lookin' and the heads have big fat barbs on them. I saw this post and checked both arrows and sure as SH*&$T they're bowed. Luckily I still have the receipt, hopefully I can return 'em. I think that driveway reflectors (with the reflector still on them) would shoot better then these two pieces o' garbage.

On a brighter note, the Bohnning arrow that I bought last summer is workin' great with the homemade barb tip I put on it. No more OMP for ME!!

 

OMP Arrows......gayest thing since Slingbows?:cf:

 

I'm gonna buy a few... Hope their chit, raise hell, and see if I can get some free stuff that might be worth a dam!

 

I'm torn....on one hand they were ready to stick it up in ya until they came across this thread....then on the other hand I have to give it up to all of US for standing behind a fellow bowfisherman and saying that we would NOT buy their products and stop shooting what we had of theirs. I do get a warm feeling knowing that if we pull together we can get something accomplished...however, I still will not buy their products based on their gut reaction to your claim. I hope it all works out for you...I think you should respectfully decline his offer and demand something more for the grief they caused you...make him buy you 20 yellow jackets and a bowfishing extreme reel holder...demand something stupid just for your trouble...

 

Matt Smith informed me last week of a customer who had purchased 20 discontinued Raider shafts and is making claim that 17 of them are unusable and that the customer would like replacement. Please understand Doug, we have sold many thousands of Raider shafts and have not had 17 returns total in over two years that this product was on the market so it did not seem like a credible claim to me. That is what I told Matt my feeling was. Matt responded to you based on what I had told him.

Based on this thread, most people bit the bullet and kept them. They still didn't believe the shafts were junk.....looks like damage control rather than customer service!

 

Well I will say this, I will not shoot anything they got..They just found everything in the BOWFISHING MARKET and copied it and started selling it .20 cents cheaper..I dont care for there stuff and probly never will...COME UP WITH YOUR OWN STUFF..
