RE: Why you need to be your own pro shop
Personally, if I owned or was the CEO of a gun or bow company I would require any and every "dealer" to take a training course on MY paticular product(s) and if you didn't know how to work on them, you wouldn't sale them.
A few companies are actually doing this now. My ex g/f's mother works at a Jon Deere dealership and they started requiring the machanics get ceritifed or they would lose the right to sale their equipment.
