yup VA, I always get a kick out of walking into Sportsmans or Cabelas archery shops dressed in my teaching clothes and just listening to all the talk. Funny how I dont get very good service either ...... some bowhunters/archers really get caught up in themselves and the elitist attitudes.. even if they have nothing to show for, but they sure act it and talk it.. I get that same vibe at about 50% or more of every proshop I have popped into ... Maybe its because I left my 4x4 dodge dieselparked in the garage and my camo clothes in the bins.. and showed up driving my kia ... aint cool enough for em..
I reckon thats why I like doing everything pretty much at home.. and visiting here about hunting..
Those are my favorite moments in life... When you're treated as the invisible man at the hunting store, just because you don't look the part, while they roll out the red carpet for big-talking, camo-wearing wanna-bee. Something about a guy in a rice grinder, boardshortsand flip flops . . . just doesn't lend itself to great service.
Those are the moments that fuel my tank.
Although, everything changes once . . . they realize . . . you know . . . "who I am."Things crystallize and attitudes change when theysee the King's camo plush robe and Bedazzled Rhinestone crown, andthe realization sets in, thatthey're in the presence of a trueliving legend. At that point, his royal subjects are waiting at his beckon call - demanding autographs and sperm donations and such...
