Demo day... dumb idea?
I wonder why I've never seen any "demo days" when it comes to firearms. When I bought my golf clubs, I was able to go to a course that had arranged to have reps of all the major brands there. I was able to try out a ton of different clubs and ended up buying a new set of PINGs on the spot.
When I was recently trying to decide on a a first center fire, I was stymied as to what to get. I could look at recoil charts, but really had no idea what it felt like. I'd only ever shot a 270 and a 30-06. Was curious about the 7mm RM and the various WSM's, but didn't know anyone who even owned one. I wished some store like Wholesale would have had a demo day at a range where you could try out a few of the popular calibres. Perhaps reps from each major manufacturer with 5 or 6 of their most popular calibres... you get the idea.
Any ideas as to why they don't/can't do that?
