i feel the same way Va....

i get it ALOT...i dont know if its because of my age (20) and they think im a punk kid, or if its my knowledge and they dont have to help me diagnose my problem or help me pick stuff, i know what i want done and know what i want to buy, or if its the fact i come in with arrows they dont sale, or a bow they know they never sold or whatever...

funny part is im in there spending money....i shouldnt feel like im bothering them! they should want me to empty my wallet...

the quicker i can setup my home bow shop, the better things will be for me...wont be long...just gotta gather funds for the tools sometime in the future...till then, i guess i gotta put up with it.

doesnt matter if im in there to get arrows fletched or whatever..doesnt seem to matter...

i been going to the 1 shop every saturday at 11 or noon to shoot the last month or so and they are finally recognizing me and being a little more friendly it seems...

ive been to a few other shops as well. there is 1 that is super nice and will do anything and never give me attitude, but his hours stink...he works a day job and runs the shop after that and is using the shop to get "Archery in the schools" or whatever in the area...hes doing a real good thing and i like to support that...just cant make his hours alot of times...and his shop is tiny..he carrys the most popular stuff and im sure would order most anything i asked...but doesnt have much compared to the bigger shops...his is litterally a basement shop...but hes a great guy and i goto him any chance i can...

usually dont shop at shops anyways...i buy my stuff online and set it up myself for the most part...even when i order my new rest, i will eyeball it and get it as close as possible and will tune from there...only need them to fletch my arrows and put on my strings lol...thus far...did goto them when i had tuning issues till i got smarter on tuning...
