Default Cabelas
So i had to replace the string on my bow, people recomended the guy at cabelas so i took it to them to get done to save the trip to millet, got the bow back in a week went to shoot it and the cable for my release pulled out of the ugly tie job they did, had it retied went to shoot it and it was at least 3 times as loud. Took and left it with jim and he ended up having to order another string!
should have just made the trip the first time!

what do you think the odds of them giving me my money back are? slim to none is my guess

from my experience a older fellow named glen who works there is very good the rest of the younger crowd they have there is pretty hit and miss, sucks that you had such crappy service on such an important and expensive piece of equipment lucky you didn't punch yourself in the face when the d loop let loose. Man that's Dangerous !

That is why I don’t mind spending a little more money at a specialty store when it comes to things like that…

You gotta pick and choose carefully when your there. There are still some good guys but the other day I went to go look at blackpowder and the guy told me no one at cabelas owns one or knows how to operate one...

Lawrence is excellent to deal with.

I've never been to a place yet where everybody is great. I just pick and choose that's all.

He is still there a couple days a week, he really knows his stuff and will be missed by not being there every day.

Ditto. I always enjoyed dealing with him.
