Was in the local Dick's last night picking up a softcase for my shotgun when I heard a customer asking one of the salesmen questions about a bow. It was obvious this customer had little archery experience. The salesman was explaining how to use a release, what a peep sight is, etc. The salesman was trying to get a feel of what the customer was looking for and asked if he planned on hunting with the bow. The customer replied "Yeah, I'm gonna hunt this weekend!" Well my jaw just about hit the floor!

I was ticked that this guy thinks he can just drop a few hundred dollars and then bowhunt without putting in the practice he needs to become proficient. (I can just see the deer walking around with an arrow stuck in its @ss right now.) I should have called the guy out and told him he owed it to everyone, including himself and the game he hunts, to practice and learn his equipment, but I just sighed and walked away. Now I'm real angry at myself for wussing out.[:@]

Just wanted to vent. On the bright side, I've got a nice scrape line to hunt this weekend.
