Default 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.

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

Yep that was me. As much as I love going there the drive sucks. Wish they were closer. That being said I went and picked up a portable bow press from Cabelas so I can learn to do this all myself. Bow is shooting great now tho!

Double check that the press will work ok on your bow, some of the parallel and past parallel limb bows aren’t suited for the bowmaster portable press.
