#008 Crossbows...wounding machines? Bad for archery and shops? w/Select Archery's Darrell Steinnen
Channel: The Rod White Bow School and Show
Date: 2017-07-10

Are crossbows really a bad thing?  Or, are they a good thing?  On the outside they seem like a great idea for quick, new income streams for retailers...but are they?  I sit down with Darrell Steinnen from Select Archery.  His shop is thriving in a state where the economy is folding and the latest debate in archery economics is the legalization of crossbows.  We talk about the good and the bad.  Darrell gives a straight up, cuffs-off interview about the subject and we talk about how the industry has eaten itself from the inside out by lowering prices to compete rather than offering higher levels of service to customers.  We break down profit margins and discuss who is really getting slammed with increasing equipment prices and who ultimately loses the war in lowering margins to gain customers.  And...why you get what you pay for when you purchase from both quality shops or seek advice from internet archery armchair quarterbacks and self proclaimed experts selling their products and services.  Don’t get too upset either about these topics until you listen to the podcast ;)...and don’t forget to subscribe to my youtube channel, The Rod White Bow Show!
