Here in michigan we do not have a lot of bow shops.
most only last a couple years
WHy aremost of these guys just bad business men.

Here is a recent visit and a call I heard when i was there.

I will start by saying I just bought a used mathews dxt.
After getting it home and shooting it I decided I need to retune it.
This I do myself mainly because i enjoy that kind if stuff and a lot of shops are not good at it guns or bows.
But really I enjoy this kind of stuff plus you learn alot doing it your self.
As i said it was shooting straight but the vanes were hitting teh drop away rest.
So of course I stop by the local mathews dealer.
I describe the problem I think I am having.
Which After doing my research I think it is the following
Low nock point. incorrect rest position or the rest is not dropping fast enough. So his first response was my Ripcord rest is not a good one "they have Problems" he says and wants to sell me a $140 rest. Ok but I still really could not get any assistance from he.
Just looking for advice.
After tallking with him he gets a call from another potential customer and the conversation with the caller boils down to this statement "well You did not buy the bow here and now you want me to service it". I am sure the caller is now shopping elsewhere.
I also left.
I returned a couple days later after a little education from Youtube and ripcords website.
I also have shot the bow more and am sure the rest is not falling away fast enough do to the string being to short. ISo I was trying to ask him if he understood how the rest works.
If the string is to short or at the wrong angle will this affect arrow flight.
His response " i cant tell you anything with out seeing it" he says.
No I just want to understand the way it works. i said.
I need to see it and tune it $25 starting.
At this point I realize he does not understand how a drop away rest works and moves through out the draw and release or he would have been able to answer my question
He seemed to be getting anoyed I would not just blindly drop off my equipment to let him tinker with it.
There was another shop employee who did understand what i was getting at but seemed afraid to butt in.

Either he did not want to help me or doesn't really understand how modern bow rests work. Sometme arrogance is a problem with these guys
You are a "professional" bow shop and spend your day with archery equiopment by no means should a customer really know more than you sir.

Well The New MAthews Z7 I was going to buy in a couple months will not be bought at his store.
I will go online or have to travel a bit to buy it from a better shop.
Well maybe I just got the wrong guy
