    Could not have said it better Justin! Working in the industry I hear all day about Pro shops complaining about low prices on Amazon and losing sales to other websites. If you want to help the mom and pop pro shop down the road, go buy products from them for a few extra dollars and help the friendly face behind the counter. Who knows if you go there enough and buy frequently you might end up with a discount or a free shirt to promote their shop!

    That is because they can't hunt because they are too busy working on bows to hunt. My local bowshop is only closed Mondays.

    You wanna know the guy that had the sponsorship thing nailed down? Keith Stone.
    “Here, drink this beer, party, and we’ll pay you $15,000 a year. Room, board, and travel is on you though.” I cannot site any sources for this quote.

    Look at him now. Where’s Keith Stone? Probably pissed he took that job, when actually, he grew up drinking Miller Lites.

    No joke...I purely believe there is a direct correlation of a hunter's lack of hunting ability and the number of "Pro-Staffs" or hunting stickers they have on their trucks LOL

    Always a few exceptions but no joke if you are a pro-staff member I sadly have a real hard time taking anything you say serious.....I know terrible. I trust sponsored ads in shows more than pro-staffers...

    Keith Stone left for a gig that paid more money so he could afford better beer.

    Looks like he jumped ship from Miller Light to Keystone Light. I would call that a lateral move in terms of quality of beer.
