Bought a bow from cabelas, mistake?

[GEARHEAD]

i bought a bow from cabelas, and i think i screwed up. the bow itself is great, i'm amazed at its accuracy, but i think it was put together wrong, sight maybe upside down as i have it adjusted as low as it will go, and my 15 yard pin is still just under the middle of the sight piece, leaving no room for a 40 yard pin, not sure the eye piece is right, or the biscuit. so my dilema is this, i want to take it to a bow shop for proper tuning, but feel like a damn hypocrite or even worse for doing so, want to go back to cabelas and have them look it over good and be sure its together right, but that will take half the damn day.
so am i an ass if i go to a bow shop for help. in hind sight i wish i bought from a shop now rather than cabelas., i'm in Kent.

no not at all, the bow shops will just most the time charge more. because you did not buy the bow from them. a good bow shop should get you fixed right up. i am sure they will probably lower your peep in the string and adjust your rest to make sure it is setup right as far as the sight it is possible but it would be a very rookie mistake by the installer who put it on. or you can go back to  cabelas and hope to find one of the more experienced guys

go talk to larry at sportmens wharehouse in fed way, right at the end on hw 18 he will take good care of you. he might give you some crap about cabelas but he is the best around imho.,

I wouldn't let those guys at cabelas touch my bow, I don't think they have a clue. Take it to another shop, you will be better off.

Zip in to sportsmans warehouse on 4th ave in Seattle (by safeco) and go see Andy. He'll get you hooked up.

Tell them your wife/girlfreind/mom bought it for you as a suprise when you take it to the bowshop.

hahaha, that is funny right there

i have only been in a few cableas, when i was in one i watched the guys install a peep sight with zip ties also seen a few people do that at wholesale sports but that stoped when they got some people in that knew what they were doing

You won't hurt anyones feelings at cabelas and they probably won't even notice you didn't come back

My only warning is to be careful with warranty, I got the short straw from a shop because I took a bow to a different shop. Not sure where Cabelas would go with that, might not matter to them at all.


That being said......I recommend Wholesale Sports in Federal Way, talk to Larry or Ryan.
