RE: Pro Staff
I wouldn't be on a pro-staff period unless there was something considerable in it for me. Be that a hunt, money or a considerable amount of free product (Lord put me on the Hevi-shot Pro-staff!!!).
Take those boys on the Primos video's..... they get paid to do what they do... I'd do that... absolutely.
However, there are a lot of bull chit staffs around now too.... it is to the point where there is very little 'pro' involved in pro-staff (unless you do as Kyle says and assume it stands for promotional... which I think it should.... but that ain't what most people... self included... think).
I have been asked to join a couple pro-staffs over the years... and turned them down. Most notably... G5.
There are a couple of companies though... I would put my name next too... if for nothing else than just to make my ego feel good or to mooch a couple of freebies while endorsing a company I believe in. That is mostly what these things are about anyway.
