my exerience was completely the opposite of this. I knew NOTHING about archery and they taught me everything I needed to know. They had me shoot a lot of bows on the range. Once I made my choice they helped me with every decision down to arrows, then gave me time on the range and lessons to learn.
i'm shocked.. honestly, my family members and the few friends i do have around here have been nothing but let down. maybe we've had them on bad days or at bad times.. who knows? but that's just what i've come up with.
