Tough Decision.....
« on: October 15, 2010, 05:35:00 PM »
After much thought and consideration, I feel after 15 yrs of running Renegade Archery...it's time to shut her down.

I will officially close the end of this year. It's been a pleasure dealing with all types of customers both locally and through TG. However, at this stage of my life, I don't want to hang around the shop all day waiting on customers and losing valuable hunting time....I WANT TO HUNT!!

Customers always came first but now....I want to enjoy this month off with my hunting buddies Bamboo and Southpawshooter. All orders have been filled and shipped....I will run a clearance sale on all AMG Feathers that are left in stock come January. I will also honor the Jack Kempf bow orders that have already been placed.

Anyone needing any information or help in deciding
what Kempf to order down the road, can always PM me or email me. I will always assist you fellas any way I can. I just made up my last doz arrows for one of Guru's friends...those shaft I have on sale in the Sponsor Classifieds will stay the same price.

Thank you all for your support of Renegade Archery. Good luck and God Bless.........as always Keep The Faith......................Joe

Joe,

Sorry to hear, but your right. There comes a time when you gotta hang up the hat and take care of numero uno. I bet it was nice to run a trad archery shop though. I never did get the chance to make it down to your place, and your only a few miles away from West Point. I would still love for the opportunity before you completely close the doors. Plus, Id like to get to know all the like minded archers in the area. I also would like to try out a Kempf bow. Now, get in them woods and get yourself some quality self time.

Good luck,
 Casey

A lot of guys who would like to own their own archery business don't realize how much personal hunting time they loose when they finally do it. I did it for a number of years, as well, and it is, well, a hard thing to see what you love to do turn into a job with obligations and little if any time for yourself to enjoy what you are working hard for others to enjoy. Joe, enjoy the hunt...you never know when your body or circumstances will short cut your ability to enjoy it. Good for you!

Too bad I didn't realize where your shop was. My wife's family is from near Newburgh. It would have been nice to have had a place to runaway to now and again when the in-laws get to be too much.

Good luck...and yes, being in the biz you love usually means less time to enjoy it.

Sorry to hear this Joe, but you deserve the time for yourself. There comes a time when we all must make the decision to take care of number one first.
But..... now I've got to find some place else to get feathers. Again.

Enjoy your month of hunting!

I wish you loads of luck-and hunting, Joe.  But, beware!!!!  Once you retire, you find out what busy is.  All the projects I put off for lack of time when i worked, have come back to haunt me.  The list of honey-do's grows exponentially, you do one thing and 10 more get added to the list.  Since retiring, I've never been so busy.  Spring and summer I work hard so that my fall and winter can be MY hunting time.

No need to apologize for wanting more woods time. Everyone here understands that. Good luck!
