RE: Stopped at the pro shop today...
I too had a similar experience Saturday. Well not completely similar but in the instance that people don't believe you and are complete jerks.
As most of you know I work at a proshop. I was working Saturday and a guy came in that we have had notorious trouble with just because, well, he is a flat out JERK. Like most proshops we keep fletched arrows, and we have a lady do it that has been doing it for us for years. This is the first instance we've had with him, he complained about EVERY single fletching because they were SLIGHTLY staggered, like 1/32 of an inch. We said no problem, and offered to refletch them for him. We did, and we used AAE Fast Set Gel, don't know if you guys are familiar with it but it's basically super glue, strongest stuff I've ever seen and I've never had a vane fall off with it. We fletched them and he came to pick them up, he was actually pleased with them and took them home to shoot. He came back the very next day with 2 arrows that have fletchings missing. Both of them have black marks ALL over them. Usual Whisker Biscuit signs, so we asked him if that was what he was using. Of course it was and not to mention it was one of the all black models, which are the roughest on arrows. He pitched a fit of course so we gave him vanes to fletch himself. BEfore he left he had us put together a PSE Nova for him that he had painted himself, it looked, well, different. LOL. We helped them, and he came back yesterday, asking me to see how close he got the level and centershot on his arrow rest, I put it in the vise. Told him it was off and asked him if he wanted me to adjust it, he said, "there's no way it's wrong, but go ahead." I moved the centershot deadnutz and went to move the nocking point because it wasn;t level and the arrow was going WAY low through the Berger button and he said dont move that, that's how it's supposed to be. I tried showing him what I was talking about, it's not like it was some hidden secret, I was using levels and everything. I said ok sir. He then got to looking at the bow and said, "That centershot is a MILE off." Once again I tried showing him how we lined it up, and everything. He said I don't care how you do it, it's not right. That was kinda the last straw for me. I still handled it professionally and said, If you want to go shoot it thru paper, go ahead, thats the only way to tell for sure. He said, I don't have time for that. I went and got my boss, and he looked at it and said that it was deadnuts perfect. The guy acted nice and believed him. Just one of these wonderful citizens we have in this country.
I didn't mean to make this post this long I just wanted to tell a story.
