.... Don't bother going back to that shop. Find another one that has decent people working in it. Sounds like that bunch of numbskulls thinks archery should be a 'guys only' thing, and would be just as likely to intentionally screw things up to discourage her.
They need their butts kicked out of the business, IMO.
I found another pro shop in Kirksville! Will be going there. Thank you for the advice. And the boost! Much appreciated!
