    Anyone whose been in business for themselves will know , that the cheapest business you'll ever do, is return business. the only way you get that is by going the extra mile, customer service.

    And

    Remembering, that you're only as good as your last job .., that's what people remember.

    These may sound like platitudes but they are a winning formula for many.

    If that is the case i gess it shows they are not in any way interested in helping fellow hunters or fishers out in any way and that it is only about the $$$$$.

    Stirling Sports Richmond stikes again.

    Popped in for a chat on the way home from work.

    Picked up 3 different Browning B725's (Hi Rib trap model, 30 and 32 inch Sporters) and to cut a long story short left with one after my eftpos card magically lept outa my pocket and swiped itself. Can you hear my wallet whining??

    Did take a bit of explaining to the better 1/2 when I got home too.

    Serious Shooters in Penrose have been really good to deal with, I haven't detected any condescending crap from them which makes a difference to a novice! Pricing seems fair so far too.

    I feel the need to give a good shout out to Shooters Supplies on Riccarton Road in CHCH.
    Geoff is the new owner and is doing some really good deals.
    Service is very good too.
    Worth going in and seeing what deal he can do.
