Why

[Black-N-Red]

Can’t people in the archery shops just sell me what I came in for?? I don’t need to tell you what I’m doing with it, what I’m hunting with it, just freaking sell me the arrows I came in & asked for. I’m not even asking you to cut them for you. Just take my money & smile.

I went into a shop close to the house to pick up a few arrows & they was the closet shop that sold arrows individually. I don’t mind talking shop & stuff, especially since I retired & I’m at home all day now. I wanted some 400 spine & the guy asked me if they was for me. I said yeah, he asked what bow, what draw length. Then he proceeds to inform me that those arrows want work, that they’ll be to weak. Then asked me what I planned on doing with the arrows & then maybe he could point me in the right direction to get the correct arrow. I told him I’m just a tinkerer & I’m experimenting with these arrows. Then he said “you must be one of those FOC nuts, that think you need 25% FOC or it ain’t gonna penetrate”. Then I just said politely “sir could you take my money so I can go?”

Sounds like he was trying to help you figure it out but you are correct sometimes they just need to shut up.

I'd imagine it's because 7 times out of 10 they get an idiot who thinks he knows what he's doing and doesn't. They don't probably run into a whole slough of folks like you that are smarter than all the folks in the industry, so they'd probably prefer that their customer leaves with the right equipment rather than what Billy Ray Fartknocker standing around the campfire told him was best after his maximum 4 Zimas. It's a safety deal

I’m genuinely laughing at the image of Brian getting his info from a dude drinking Zima’s around a campfire 😂

I had the same thing happen last year.

I don’t claim to be the almighty on archery equipment but I was killing deer with a bow before this dude was a twinkle in is Daddy’s eye.

I asked for some specific shafts, not what he thought I should be shooting. If a Mathews was the first bow you shot you haven’t been doing that long.....[emoji12]

In other news, congrats on retirement, Brian! I don’t like it from my perspective, but I’m happy for your sake
