[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 2407528, member: 7999"] Thanks for bringing this up. Butterbean reluctantly tried Hammers a couple years ago on insistent persuasion from another member here that started using them in the beginning. They did everything that he wanted from a bullet. We have never given him anything. He is a vet and had never taken the vet discount that we offer in our checkout page that is there to take on the honor system. I had spoken to him on the phone like I do many customers. When he heard about my son's death he sent me a framed Bible verse that I found comforting. It sits in front of my desk. He never asked for anything. When he heard that we were having a memorial for my son he showed up a few days ahead of time in our shop. This guy was standing in our doorway and I had no idea who he was. He introduced himself. I was glad to meet him in person but had no idea why he was in town. I asked him what brought him to our neck of the woods. He told us he came for the memorial and came a few days early to help anyway he could in the shop. Put me to work he says. This guy came half way across the country to support a guy he had never met. I don't think I know anyone else that would do this. We paid him for his help in the shop with a t-shirt, a hoodie, and a hat. Which he took reluctantly. We have grown to be friends with a group of guys over the last few years that are customers of ours. It has come up in conversation about Butterbean and his hatred (ironic) of the Creed how much fun it would be to give him one for Christmas. Just so happens that we had one that we paid all of $250 dollars for when we first started making bullets that we used for testing. We volunteered it for the sake of the Christmas roast. It was some of the best fun I have had in some time. So if you want to call that payment for services you couldn't be more wrong. I am starting to see a trend in this thread that Butterbean is the reason that folks are going to use for hating Hammers. This also seams irrational to me. He is a big boy that makes his own decisions. He doesn't take any marching orders from us, or anyone else for that matter. I have no more control over him than I do any of you. I could ask him to never publicly support our company again and he would honor the request. I'm not going to do that. He helps way more people than he puts off. Is he brash in his tact? Sho nuff! Does anyone wonder what he thinks? Nope. Is he a good man that I am lucky enough to call my friend? Yes. He told me not to tell anyone that he had done those things, so hopefully I have not offended him and his wishes to be kept private. Bean I'm sorry. So here is my final thought on this. There is a bunch of you that need to put your feelers away. I'll stop there before I turn into an a hole. [/QUOTE]
