Default What does it take to become Prostaff

I would like to know this myself. What determines whether someone is good enough to become a prostaff member? As far as Im concerned anyone with an interest in hunting should be a prostaff member as long as they are ethical in their choices and they can properly represent the team. I would like to hear what people think about this. Whatdifferenciates between prostaff and everyday hardcore hunters.

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.

What I am saying is that if a pro staff and a hardcore hunter are pretty much one in the same, then whats the difference? A camera, maybe sponsors, maybe a little money to back them up, and the fact that that is their full time job.

Unless you've got a pile of animals in the books and have them pounding on your door begging you to be a staffer, it's mostly about knowing the right people.

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.

A friend of mine is PSE pro-staff, and realy isn't thatgood of a shot nor hunter. It is often times who you know that determines pros as opposed to expertise.

Yeah Jim, i agree.

I think the ability to consistantly put big bucks down also has a lot to do with it. Sponsors want to see a lot of video/pictures with big bucks and their products...

I think a prostaffer is basically a dedicated, hardcore hunter that found an oportunity

"Pro-staff" has to be one of themost overused terms in the hunting industry.
