Hey,
I was wondering what people's opinions for going to Cabela's for archery help are? Would you go to Cabela's to have your bow re-strung et.?
-
Haha... uh, no. Go across I-5 to Wholesale Sports and get it done, there. BTW, I'm assuming you're talking about the Lacey Cabelas. Or there's a number of pro shops in the outlining area that'll get it done right.
-
:yeah: No way would I trust anyone at Cabelas to set up my bow. Take it to Wholesale or a archery pro shop in the area like Mtbiker suggested. Or learn to do it yourself. It is pretty easy and then you will be better prepared to fix/tune it in the field. :twocents:

Where do you live?

Those guys would probably try mounting your rest in the sight holes and strip the threads. AVOID them!

I was told the new cabelas is having a girl work on bows :yike:

Or go to Sportsman in Puyallup.

wow D-Rock what is wrong with a girl working on your bow, if they know how to set up and tune a bow that is what you want. My girlfriend does all her own tuning on her bows and does it right. As for Cabela's in Lacey I know they have problems, If Dave (the archery Manager) was working on them, it would be done right but they don't give him much time to set up any more. Pro shops are your best bet.

Girls belong in the kitchen. Just joking nothing is wrong with it I just like to cause trouble.

:tup:
-
I'm sure some girls are better at setting up bows than me
-
I know of one gal that I would let set up my bow any time,

D-rock, isn't the girl in question your wife?
-
Avoid Cabelas at all costs, you are way better off finding your local proshop.

nope. I've been Married long enough not to question my wife.

I purchased a PSE and some arrows a couple years ago at the Lacey store. I had to take it back the next day after going to the range. It seems the young man had forgotten to cut my arrows to the correct size (still original length), and the bow had to have some other adjustments made to it also. After that the bow shot fine. On the other hand though, the following year I seen another on line store have a G5 Primal on clearance for $470 (regular $729). Called Cabela's and asked if they would match it and the manager said they would. I went to the store that same evening and they about "sheet" when they found out what the sale price was, but they kept their word! Oh yea, I took the bow straight to another pro shop after Cabela's set it up and this one wasn't correct either.

The Tulalip Cabelas guy didn't know what paper tuning was. I came in specifically for that, and stepped right out when he said he didn't know what it was.
