Wishlist on the website?
Still somewhat new to archery, but have spent a couple of hours browsing the Lancaster site. I've created an account, and placed an order, but unless I'm mistaken, this is the first eCommerce website of this scale I've seen in a while w/o a Wishlist feature(?).
Other than placing items that I may not want to purchase immediately in my cart, or bookmarking pages in my browser, is there any way to save favorite items?

There's a stack of catalogs at the club, but I'm more of a digital guy...
Welcome to AT from northern Illinois.
They use to have one…no more after the website was overhauled.Still somewhat new to archery, but have spent a couple of hours browsing the Lancaster site.

I agree it’s annoying. I use the Amazon browser extension and put stuff in an Amazon wishlist.
I have the print catalogue but will need to order another one. This one is soaked from drooling over all the neat archery things I really don't need but would like to have. A couple of online stores have a "Recently Viewed" section at the bottom to give a list of interested things.
This is the overhauled version of the website?!?? Ok, there's some things that are nice - I like the ability to navigate by category, then filter (i.e., go to 'Target Arrows', then narrow results by spine). But where are the hi-res images? I'd like to be able to zoom in and look at the details of the product.They use to have one…no more after the website was overhauled.
Not sure what you mean by “hi-res images?”.This is the overhauled version of the website?!??

You can manipulate the text, and image on the page by adjustments in “Accessibility Options” on the bottom left side of the page.
Most websites will use a relatively low-res image as a 'thumbnail' to show a product in a listing (i.e., in search results). This low-res image is usually the first one you see, and allows the results of a search or an individual page to load much faster. Then, you can usually click the image to get a high-res version of that particular image, and at that point you can usually zoom in on to see more detail. Lancaster's site doesn't do this - you can't click on most images when looking at a product to examine it more closely. Though you can sometimes use the browser's controls and/or accessibility options to make an image larger, that larger image will get blurry, as you're not adding detail to the image, you're just stretching it out. Go to a site like Cabelas/BPS and you'll see what I mean. Also notice that they'll have multiple pics of the same product from multiple angles, while Lancaster usually only has 1 or 2 images.Not sure what you mean by “hi-res images?”.
