While I am very happy to see CT stepping into this space they are going to need to hire some people, or train some of their existing staff in how to sell these products. They don't need experts but they at least need to know what 30-06 and 270 ammo is. They also need a buyer that knows a little more about what to buy. Most of the stock was the cheapest, poorest built crap available on the market. Very little of what an average user would be looking to buy, let alone any high end stuff. I worry that lack of sales from having the wrong stock and no expertise will lead to many CTs abandoning this market prematurely.

Jeepers did you talk to the manager/owner and express this concerns, our crappy tire here rocks because people talked and others listened, real easy solution.
