You also need to have the time to attend the shows, and be willing to travel. I got a couple of friends that Prostaff, one for Drake Waterfowl, and the other for Avery. Seems like they both do a lot, for not much in return, other than discounts and the title of Pro-Staffer. Both of them are members of Huntingnet.

I would have to say if you want to be a prostaff you obviously have to have the experience in the field, proof of skill and experience, so there for a few nice bucks/bulls under the belt, have to have lots of knowledge in lots of the fields in hunting, be it deer, elk, predator, bird, so a well rounded hunter.

First and foremost, you need to be professional and not blow smoke up people's skirts. Secondly, you need to be reliable. Thirdly, having some good first hand experience with the product and the sport is needed. Lastly, you need to be in the right geographic location. If there is a company that is growing, and does not have a prostaffer for you part of the state, often all you have to do is ask. If you are on one or two prostaffs already... then usually its as simple as signing a contract or asking someone at the company. A co-worker and friend of mine picked up the phone and called Double Bull archery, asked if they had a prostaffer for tidewater VA. They said they did not and offered him the spot. Free blind with it to boot in exchange for a weekend of demos at a hunting show.
Prostaffs are really just resume builders. Its sort of like having a certification. You might be able to run a boat up an inlet backwards and with your eyes closed in the fog... but having a captains liscense shows someone you know what you are talking about. Same thing with CPR and first aid. If you work in the hunting industry at all, having some sort of certification/prostaff/etc etc attached to your name helps people trust you right off the bat.
