A perfect example of why I think stores should refuse to sell bows the day before or during season, unless the hunter can prove proficiency.
from a biz point of view, I can't get behind this... why? because shops that do this, while admirable, won't stay in biz long after that sale attempt... someone else is GOING to sell that gear to 'em regardless... now, if you had to prove profieciency based on a state wide scale (kinda like IL's FOID program where you have to be registered to purchase a gun or ammo) then it becomes fair for every shop... having one or two principled owners will lead them outta biz quick though...
I agree with you. It would have to be a statewide scale. I know its not the shops' fault that they are selling new bows the day before season. That is their job. These "bowhunters" need to take the initiative and make their purchases and practice sessions well before the start of season. Good point Seven!
