Rant!!
Subject Pro Shops (that ain't so pro) (Not all Pro Shops)
Got a subject that gets our dander up every time.
Pro Shops or some that think they are.
Well it goes like this,
A Pro shop gets a customer who has his bow and a set of strings (BSD of course). He drops it off and asks to have the strings installed and tuned. Only to get a call later that the strings are not the right length and he can't get the bow in tune or timed (blame it on the string maker). So after I called the Pro shop to find out they have no means of measuring the strings properly (on a ¼ inch post at 100lbs). I had the customer ship them back to me. Well the strings were dead on the mark (I expected that we measure them 3 to 4 times before shipment). Piece of advice guys who start up a Pro Shop or ones that hire a tech learn to install strings and tune a bow. For the most part you can't just throw a good set of strings on and its good. You need to take steps to ensure that it is. Besides a good bow tech is where you make your money.
That is my rant for today!
Thanks for listening!!
