Tony, I hate when that happens and it happens all to often. I too have walked out the door when a dealer tries to tell me what I want.

RE: ATTN: Dealers
A couple of things....
Rob siad:
You are correct, I should have added IMO. IMO it was CLEARLY the best bow for me. If I would have flashed money at him it would have changed his attitude and I may have ended up buying the bow from him, which would have been a mistake if that is the way he always runs the shop.

I also shot the SS, it was too small....IMO.

Agree...if I had come in there asking for suggestions and advice I would have welcomed it. Being in sales myself, sometimes what the customer wants and what the customer needs are two different things. This was not one of those times.

I travel I-40 occaisionally, thanks for the heads-up. I'll give them a look.

IMO.
For you. IMO.
Anyway. That's a sad conversation. I would have given the guy a little harder time. I would have pulled the money out of my pocket and said, I guess your not in business to make money. That's a shame, I have this money to spend and you don't want to sell me the bow I want. Have a good day, bye!
Good luck in your plight.

I shot the super short version yesterday, and you talk about a cool LITTLE! bow. But it was so small that I don't think I could keep from tourquing my wrist. It's like you are holding nothing.

As a dealer and Pro Shop owner for years. My philosophy was to let the customer buy what they wanted. If they ask for some advice, we were glad to giveour input after all that is what we were there for. If I didn't have what they wanted I would always try to get it for them. I'm with Rob! You should have taken a wad of bills out of your pocket and waved bye as you walked out the door

RE: ATTN: Dealers
As a dealerI too would have asked you to try somethingI had in stock. However, after you had stated that you have shot all the bows and wereset on a 60# X-force I would have said......I can have it here in about 10 business days. Rang you up and called you whenI had it in my handsready to be set to you.
