No I think once you (any hunter)have decided on equipment that enhances your style of hunting that is what you want and are willing to pay for. Most of the sporting good stores are still looking to and it is necessary to feed that bottom line, so they supply to the masses. I in most cases very rarely ask for help when shopping in most sporting goods store and when I do I am usually standing in front of one of the tech type counters (gunsmith/archery). I have been in many of these stores and actually helped other shoppers make choices based on field related experiences. Sometimes it pays to be picky, sometimes it saves a lot of work and heartache listening to others. Thats one of the main reasons I like this forum. Somehow , somewhere, someone has done it before.
