hey everyone I was just wondering if you tip your proshop guy or if that is supose to be included into everything??

Sure do.

I am my pro shop. Ive never went to one. I build all my bows and order my parts. So yea, I tip my pro guy.

I tip my gun smith as well, wait thats me too.

No tips from me, I don't let them do any work for my bow,I only go there to buy stuff for my bow. I don't know about others but I'm the only doctor for my bow.

Once when I bought a bow from another shop and the "Bowsmith" did a really crappy job setting it up.
I took it to another shop and they were reallycool and didn't laugh at me. Well,not too much. So I brought them a 12 pack of Heineken 5 minutes before closing time. It was well appreciated!

Yea, I tip them with my patronage!

You bet I do.
Not only that , I also reffer my friends to them and I'm always trying to throw a plug advertisement here and there.
So if you happen to live near or around the Ypsilanti / Ann Arbor area and you need some archery stuff , see my friends at Bass - N - Sport on E.Michigan ave.
They do really good work.

pro shop iI patronize charges me accordingly as I expect him to. Being as I am about 80 miles away he trys to get on mine pretty fast. I've never had to leave a bow with them. Plus I go to the bck kand watch him do all the work. so I am happy with the shop plus a good place to use up time while the wife is doing her shopping at the mall.

Yea I say heres your tip, lower your damn prices.

Nope....never had the kind of sevice that warranted a tip...that was until this Tuesday...the is when I met Bruce.
Still, I spend enough money that a tip isnt really called for.

I boutght my Bow from BassPro shop(i know what you "experts" are thinking, that's your first mistake). My rational was easy way to establish credit and get my Bow before season(hey, do what ya gotta).

Bow: Diamond Liberty by Bowtech....very happy with this bow!!!!!

I must admit, i am extermely disappointed in the way BassPro handled my set-up. two weeks after a bought my bow, i started hearing a noise when i was just about at full draw. I started tapping around my limbs, and founf that on my bottom cam, they forgot to tighten the cam and the stopper(diamonds have a stopper that is calculated to your draw length) had completely fallen off.

I realized this by taken it to an archery shop. They pointed out all the "issues" i was having.

I returned the bow to basspro and demanded a new one (the diamond liberty package is 749.99)....They were very compliant with my demand for a whole a new bow, and my dis-satisfaction for the service that was done in the archery shop.

When i received my new bow, i took it to Great Bridge Archery (Chesapeake, Va.). They were very informative, and even let me do some of service and learn about the parts of my bpw. When i asked how much they want to set my bow up they said "12.00 labor." I gave then a twenty, and ever since then it has been a "Quid Pro Quo" relationship. Sometimes the don't charge me for the range, and sometimes i give them an extra five...............

Most of all, i enjoy going there!!!!!!!
