    All right, Since I am new to this sight I need to find out who all on here is a FOBaholic like I am. If you don't know what FOBs are then you better get cracking. :)

    Not to put a damper on your spirits, but I doubt you'll find the following here that you'll see at other sites...

    So which one of you works for the company? Both have less than 10 post and bam FOBaholics Anonymous in the house. If not employees are you FOB pro staff?

    To bad i'm a dedicated Pro Staff shooter for Bohning Archery Products for many years and do alot of promotional work for them , trade shows and filming of my hunts for comercials web vids and magazine adds , because if i was a staff shooter for Norway Industries and seen this comment i would yank you off the team , but on the other hand there are a ton of product *****s out there who call themselves staff shooters .........just sayin its nothin personal

    After Hoosier pointed this one out I laughed out loud literally. I wish I had saw it. Come on man, Pro staffer for a company that Starrflight could take business from and you are considdering using them and have that many of them on their way? Really? Go ahead and take your self off their Pro Staff for them. Makes me want to install those Zeon vanes I got really bad.

    LOL.......it cracks me up sometimes , me being involved and working with alot of companys hands on in the archery bussiness helping with the development of new products and puting them to work before they hit the shelves for the public , lets take the Bohning Helix Jig for instance , I had a bunch of them and put them through hours of testing and research a year before they were ever heard of , same goes for the Lumenok Blazer Nock , there is a big difference from a Pro Staffer and a Field Staff that gets a discount if there lucky .

    I mean its all good and you gotta start somewhere if that is what you want to do , but labeling yourself as a Pro Staffer for a company and the wrong person see's it , it could put wood on a fire you never intended to be started .

    Being a pro staffer is something I would be somewhat interested in but, given my engineering tendancies, I would much rather be a field tester. I am an Inductrial Engineering major. I have wanted to find out how to become one since I started archery. Not for the free stuff to test but, actually helping companies or one speciffic company out with collecting data and reporting findings and maybe even imrpovement suggestions on a new product or multiple products before they goes to the public. I shoot a lot and hunt a lot add some experimenting, data collection and testing and it adds a whole nother level to the fun.

    Hey I'll be doing a turkey hunt this fall. If you have it ready to go I can swing by and pick up a call to test if you want. I work in Columbus so it's not that far to swing down and pick it up. Just a thought, let me know.

    I don't know if I could be one here in OZ. Just love the products that's all.

    I don't work for Starrflight. Didn't I just say I was new to this site? I am very active on AT and a couple other forums BowHunterPlanet is my main forum. Even though I am new to this site. I am no stranger to bowhunting. I just shoot FOBs and I am wondering who else on this forum shoots them to.

    I'm already on a few Pro Staffs, but I wouldn't mind filling out an app, too.

    It just looked like some stuff I saw going on a another sight and there was so much of it I don't participate there anymore. People would start a membership and imediately start in on the products they used or were paid to promote.
