What does it take to become Prostaff
 
I would like to know this myself. What determines whether someone is good enough to become a prostaff member? As far as Im concerned anyone with an interest in hunting should be a prostaff member as long as they are ethical in their choices and they can properly represent the team. I would like to hear what people think about this. Whatdifferenciates between prostaff and everyday hardcore hunters.

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.

Unless you've got a pile of animals in the books and have them pounding on your door begging you to be a staffer, it's mostly about knowing the right people.

What I am saying is that if a pro staff and a hardcore hunter are pretty much one in the same, then whats the difference? A camera, maybe sponsors, maybe a little money to back them up, and the fact that that is their full time job.

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.

A friend of mine is PSE pro-staff, and realy isn't thatgood of a shot nor hunter. It is often times who you know that determines pros as opposed to expertise.

Yeah Jim, i agree.

I think the ability to consistantly put big bucks down also has a lot to do with it. Sponsors want to see a lot of video/pictures with big bucks and their products...

I think a prostaffer is basically a dedicated, hardcore hunter that found an oportunity

"Pro-staff" has to be one of themost overused terms in the hunting industry.
