The thing that doesn't make any sense is it's not difficult at all to do it right. Guy just lost a customer (s) and a potential friend (s). Makes no sense at all.
I agree guys, wouldn't you think one would simply just take pride in their work? I've had guys here that told me to actually open a shop. My answer is, I just don't want the hassle. I'll try to help people out one at a time.
I'd **** too many people off too when they walked through the door a week before the season asking to set up their bow for the first time so they could hunt. I'd tell them to get out. LOL j/k.
