I like to see employees who know what they are doing, and are able to help me with what I need no matter how small it is. An indoor range is a big draw, also with an Interactive Video Shoot. Also having a wide variety of products and keeping a current inventory of new products.

Sell/have what I need at a reasonable price.
Know the products you are selling so that you can answer my questions without layering on the BS.
Know the technical ins and outs of archery/bowhunting so that you can answer my questions without layering on the BS.
Once you start layering on the BS I won't be back unless it is to buy some fieldpoints or something else for less than $10.

FYI cooking wild game on theproperty of a business, that isn't licensed to prepair food, is illegal. So be careful.
So I can't cook a venison burger when I tailgate?

Why is it illegal? Are you sure? NC? We had a couple deputies there....and the GW's.....and nobody was selling anything.

I went to a similar, (wild game picnic) event in MN 3 years in a row, and the guy ended up getting in trouble. Not too serious, but a fine none the less. Something about the liabilty if someone were to get sick.
It's at the very least something that I would check out before holding such an event.

I'm pretty sure in Iowa as long as you don't sell it you are ok to cook.
I'm cooking Backstrap and Brats for my anniversary party on the 29th!

I cannot not stress enough that the trust factor is just huge.
The knowledge they give always amazes me either. I can walk into my shop and learn something new everytime.
