    Review: Maven B2 9x45: Has the $1,000 game just changed?

    Yes, and if Tract abandoned direct-to-consumer business model offerings and doubled Their prices to start selling through the retail market, they also might not be competitive.

    Patudo, You're welcome, but remember my statement is just IMHO, as others might call it differently! Undoubtedly, Maven's direct-to-consumer marketing concept helps keep their prices where they are. Brendon confirmed if they were to move their product line to the retail B&M stores, consumers...

    Comparisons My little trip to the La. Sportsman's Show & Festival was an educational "eye opening" excursion. Meeting Brendon, co-owner, designer and marketing guru for Maven Optics, was as great as getting hands-on experience with the products he has brought to market. Very personable and...
