Default RE: The next time I buy a bow.....

ORIGINAL: bigbulls

I'm going to put EVERYTHING on the bows before I shoot them.if you're looking.....and the shop wants your money.....they'll set 'em up for you (or....they should).
I am honestly sooooooooooo tired of hearing this.

Most pro shops bend over backwards for their customers as it is. You get free installation of all of your accessories, free set up and tune, many offer free range time, club memberships, etc... etc... When was the last time you purchased a starter, water pump, alternator, etc... for you car and told them if they want your business they had to install it for free?

Do you honestly think that a pro shop has the time to fully rig out every single bow that you and the rest of the world want to test shoot? Not hardly. You guys are being a little ridiculous.

Not to mention that every bow in their inventory would have a sight, stabilizer, rest, quiver, wrist sling, etc... etc... and he would be out the money for all of that inventory cause he certianly couldn't sell it as new. Then everyJoe Blow would want it rigged with different stuff cause none of them would want the same acessories on their bow.

In the shopI run everyone is welcome to shoot every single bow I have. I have a nock and a rest on all of them to compare them all, apples to apples, as they come out of the box. But I am not going to fully rig every bow I have just for the sake of test firing them.

You guys need to come down to reality.
I'm not trying to tell you how to run your biz, but how about this. Maybe take a few of the higher end model bows that you carry and load a couple up - each with different kinds of accessories. That way, if someone wants to see how something works they might be able to test it. And heck if they want the bow with all the goodies - than charge em a a little bit of asetup fee if you want. This way you wouldnt be setting up everysingle bow in your shop, but customers would still be able to shoot a bow with something on it if they prefered. I don't know about the rest of you - but as a consumer I like to have options and I respect a biz owner who gives me options. Just a thought. Have a good one!
