Default RE: Question about your local pro shop loyalty??

I dont know if it is me or nearly everyone that is missing the point here cottonfarmer stated that he had bought all his eqipment there even the rest for 90. In my opinion I know that the small opwner need to make a profit to stay in business but if I pay 90.00 for a rest and then they charge 15.00 to put it on and I had bought my bow there yes I am gone. As for charging for peeps or silencers yes they should but if you boought yoour other equipment there 95% of them will install for free. I am pretty fortunate as I have 3 pro shops within a few miles of where I live and for years I was loyal to only one I bought all of mine and my wife's and also my grandsons equipment there. For everso long they were very nice to me then one day I was there shooting ontheir indoor range and needed a nockset he cahrged me a dollar for it I thought he was kidding but I paid it a few weeks later I wanted to trade my grandsons bow as he had outgrown it for a new one now I had bought the old one from him it was a high country a nice little bow I had paid over 200.00 for I was trading for a new Darton as he is now 14 he said he could only give me 10.00 trade in and nothing off the Darton anyway I found the Darton at another place in another state for 75.00 less and sold the bow on ebay for 175. and changed to another shop. Yes a small shop need's to watch every penny to make it work and needs loyal customers but some things are unheard of. In most cases you get what you give many times I passed up deals at Walmart or Kmart to buy from him I can say now there is a much happier proshop in the area he was tickeled to death to see my business.
