Shout out to Jimbows
So I did what every archer cringes at the other day. I got carried away with shooting lots of arrows and in one shot forgot to load an arrow. Yep.... dryfire. Anyways with no shop around cold lake I made the drive to Edmonton this morning. I got lucky. No damage other than needing a quick timing fix. 3 hour drive for 20 mins worth of work and all on the house. Much appreciated if you read this Jimbows! I don’t mind making the drive knowing my bow will be in tip top shape when I leave.

I always get treated well at the Calgary shop! Great shop for sure.

Stories like this are why I went and bought my bow from them.

I thought that was you in there today, been a while (Drayton rifle rodeo) since we chatted.
Things look good, your bow took it like a champ :) LC |

Sounds nothing like the experience you will get at Wolverine Archery in Red deer. That place is the worst. Literally some of the worst customer service know to man.
I have supported them because they are local but will be happy to go to Jim Bows in the future. I wanted a new sight a few months back and called Jim Bows and the staff member was super friendly and shipped me out my new Black Gold the same day. I had been waiting on Wolverine for over a month to get one in and finally gave up hope. Even with shipping it was cheaper from Jim Bows too. |

Was at jimbows today he fixed my bow up hope it all holds together for the torturous month of September. He was getting a bit ticked off at all the guys calling wanting to talk about draw results and BS while he was trying to fix my bow and other help customers that where waiting.

Jimbow's north and south and Accurate Archery are going to be busy for the next 5 week's. I would try hitting any of those places on Wednesday or Thursday. Tuesday is there first day back after the weekend and lots of people have or will take Friday off. Saturday and Sunday will be standing room only. Stressful and exciting time for the shop owners.

Jim Bows Edmonton North
These guys are the best period! I spend my money here just because they go the extra way to help anyone out.

They said they are closing down because they can't "keep techs". While that may be true, I'm sure the reason they can't keep techs is because they aren't paying them enough. If their techs actually understood retail and sales, and the importance of the "customer in the store", they would have made a lot more money, and would have been able to pay the techs a decent wage. When I walked in there they lady at the counter spent 15 minutes complaining about how 2 guys came in on the weekend and tried out some bows and didn't buy one. She was trying to portray to me how this was a waste of their time and how these guys had no right to come in and try bows without purchasing on the spot. REALLY? I had to interject and say that maybe they just wanted to do a little more research before buying the bow and maybe they would be back. The truth is I bet they didn't purchase because of the horrible attitude of the staff. After waiting around for 2.5 hours for the tech to tie in my peep I almost did the same. At one point after waiting hours I walked back and found she had decided to cut and fletch a dozen arrows from a customer that had walked in 2 hours after me and I just had to wait another 30 minutes before should could try and adjust my peep. At the end she said "this is the best that we can get your peep (It was literally sideways, I couldn't even see through it). You have to go shoot 200 arrows and come back. |
You can't ask for better customer service from Dave and Carson. They're definitely one of the best shops to go to!
