RE: What I absolutely HATE!!!!
 

I shop at some large sporting stores (Kittery Trading Post, etc) as well and find what is being discussed here is the exception not the rule. Most people I talk to know in these places are very knowledgable. Most of these places have specialized folks working there. People that know a little about everything but a lot about specific items...(archery equipt, flyrods etc)...

Enjoy the time spent there, you will most certainly leave with what you wanted in the first place...

It does get very frustrating going shopping for something and the salesperson doesn’t know what they are taking about. That’s why I usually do my homework before I go shopping.

Just another example of why specialty shops...like archery pro shops... are still a great asset that needs to be exploited.

Jimmy, I agree about KTP but feel they are the exception to the rule. The let staff field test equiptment so that they are knowledgeable whan asked a question.For the most part they are extremely helpful and knowledgeable but they are not a national chain. A big store, yes. But they are an outdoor specialty store that is true to its roots.
