...Whatdifferenciates between prostaff and everyday hardcore hunters.
The first person knows someone who is in the business, owns one themselves, or pays for the titlebyeither cash or hunting rights to thier property so the company who "Sponsors" them can "Pimp" thier product while being there shooting big deer.


The second person...is the rest of us.:D

I would have to say if you want to be a prostaff you obviously have to have the experience in the field, proof of skill and experience, so there for a few nice bucks/bulls under the belt, have to have lots of knowledge in lots of the fields in hunting, be it deer, elk, predator, bird, so a well rounded hunter.
You also need to have the time to attend the shows, and be willing to travel. I got a couple of friends that Prostaff, one for Drake Waterfowl, and the other for Avery. Seems like they both do a lot, for not much in return, other than discounts and the title of Pro-Staffer. Both of them are members of Huntingnet.
Both excellent points. I just became a prostaffer for G5.

First and foremost, you need to be professional and not blow smoke up people's skirts. Secondly, you need to be reliable. Thirdly, having some good first hand experience with the product and the sport is needed. Lastly, you need to be in the right geographic location. If there is a company that is growing, and does not have a prostaffer for you part of the state, often all you have to do is ask. If you are on one or two prostaffs already... then usually its as simple as signing a contract or asking someone at the company. A co-worker and friend of mine picked up the phone and called Double Bull archery, asked if they had a prostaffer for tidewater VA. They said they did not and offered him the spot. Free blind with it to boot in exchange for a weekend of demos at a hunting show.

Prostaffs are really just resume builders. Its sort of like having a certification. You might be able to run a boat up an inlet backwards and with your eyes closed in the fog... but having a captains liscense shows someone you know what you are talking about. Same thing with CPR and first aid. If you work in the hunting industry at all, having some sort of certification/prostaff/etc etc attached to your name helps people trust you right off the bat.

Zdeerslayer, don't sign anything until you have an agent/manager!! I'll make sure you have enough $$$$$$$$,000,000 on the end of that check.... for a mere 15% of your total earnings! Your about to become a star!;):D
Your in... But I'll need a website, my own clothing line, my own camo brand, my own bow company, my own show/video, and my very own minions, which will take care of any of the competition [8D].

Who needs a contract, when you got a free hat, or a signature line to work with??? Like.. Duh.
The contract is what differentiates between being a "supporter" and "pro staff." A person can support, and even advertise a product, w/out being a staff member. There are several different staff positions.....Pro staff, shooting staff and hunting staff are the 3 I can think of. The contract is what "allows" someone to declare themselves a staff member of a certain company.
