Yea, I guess pro shops need their place in he food chain too! Lighten up and don't take it personally bigbulls.Let's have fun.

I guess it depends on my mood. Usually I get the same smug "I'm better than you" service with a hint of overpriced items and I don't. But if I get to deal with a guy who treats me right, I'll give em a tip

Sorry but comments like that chap my butt. Especially when I know how hard i work to make every customer happy with their purchases and the service they receive from me.

Go purchasea starter for a truck and see if you don't get charged not only for the starter but $90 per hour to install it.

Most pro shops are no where near overpriced. In the world of service oriented sales most pro shops are a bargain.

No I don't. I, like some of the others, am my own pro shop.

The only time I usually go into a bow shop is to buy a new bow. Otherwise I do everything else myself. But I am like that with everything. I work on my own cars, house, etc. Not that I don't want to pay for it rather because I'm a hands-on kind of guy and enjoy doing these things. I know when it's time to call a pro and I don't hesitate when the need arises.

bigbulls, I'm quite sure you work hard to make your customers happy with your service and I agree 100% that the service you provide can't be gotten at a place like Dicks or a similar wanna be location![:@] I was just having fun because I'm like a damn kid at Christmaswhen deer season is only a day away! Good luck to EVERYBODY who's going out Saturday!

... and THAT'S one of the best tips on here! I offerthe owner of the shop I frequent to buy him lunchall the time.

I would have to say that is the trick. I would asume that they could ask for nothing more.
