Default Do you own or work at a pro shop?

It seems like quite a few archers on this forum do and that got me thinking and wondering so here goes the questions.

1) Do you own or work at a pro shop right now at this current time?

2) If not have you ever owned or worked at a pro shop in the past?

3) For those who can say no to the above questions does anyone wish they did ownor work at a pro shop.

4) Also for those who don't own or work at a proshop at this current time, are you planing to soon?

2. Yes, I shot on Hoyt's National Shooting Staff and worked through several shops.

3. Not applicable

1) Nope, not right now.
2) Well sort of, I did bow repairs/sales and gave lessons, but didn't get paid, was part of the deal for being a shop staff shooter and getting discounts/free equipment.
3) NA
4) Probably not again, at least in the near future

I do all my own work on my and my families bows, plus for some friends, nobody but me touches our bows!

Nope....I own an online sporting goods store but we don't have any archery equip. at the present time....not sure what the future looks like....you never know. I'm on AOP's prostaff and we all shoot Matthews....I was just brought on board so I'll be looking for my bow package in the near future.

Never worked at one. Do my own stuff if it's simple and doesn't require a bow press. I learn by trial and error and from you guys. For more difficult issues I go to Hicks Archery and Tackle in Flint MI. They take good care of me.
