Default RE: Great Deals

Here in Idaho there is only one shop in the city and when you go there you better bring the vasaline. The bow shop that I like to go to is 30 miles away. In fact I told them about Wal-Mart and they went and cleaned them out because the prices were less than what they could get them for. The bow shop in which I normally go to has received about 2,000 dollars of my hard earned money in the last year. They know that I am loyal to them and they also understand that I have the right to shop around. When you are talking about an 11.00 per pack of broadhead savings and you are buying 12 packs. I dont think anyone would have to think long and hard. I am going to be shooting in some major tournaments this year and doing alot of traveling. Anything I can save will help me in my cause. I understand the part about being loyal. I also didn't mention anything about buying a bow there either. These were all accessories that I mentioned. I am not offended in the least by your comments about loyalty however I just wanted to give others out there who are on a budget a way to get the quality items that the animals deserve. The people who are concerned about money issues probably will not make or break the archery shop. I have been involved with many salesman in my line of work and I have seen where loyalty can get you. Inflated prices and extra gear gadgets that you don't need. The industry is like any other. It has its good eggs and its bad eggs. While almost all are good there are still a few bad. I have made it a common practice to show loyalty with caution. I like to , in a subtle way, let the seller know that this is not the only option that I have. I have heard horror stories from people in the area who were loyal to a certain bowshop. What I am saying is loyalty goes in both directions. The people in the bowshop in which I travel to has treated me great and we have a good friendship. My next bow purchase will be from them again and not Wal-Mart. They know as well as I do, that when the broadheads go on sale at Wal-Mart next year. My shopping cart will be full. Another thing that I failed to mention is that I have brought ALOT of business through the bowshops doors and in return they have cut me some deals. This is not one of those lengthy posts because I am upset. I just wanted to give you my point of veiw.
