    Re: Cabelas vs Bass Pro for Archery Support

    I purchased a new bow from Boormans archery recently. They were very helpful and seemed knowledgeable.
    Then when I went to Big Game to get some arrows ( brought my bow so he could match the arrows to my rig) I found out my bow was incorrectly setup.

    -centre shot was off
    -drop away was too high on the bus cable
    -string dampener wasn't set up
    - limbs weren't tillered
    -and my drawlegh was almost 2 inches to long.

    After shooting my newly setup bow the accuracy difference is very noticeable.

    In short- I would recommend going to Wayne the first time. I will from now on.

    Agreed! Frustrating, especially with the wild swings the dollar has been doing recently.

    Best all round archery shop in the greater Vancouver area in my opinion ... focuses a lot upon the target aspect of archery (75% target, 25% hunting)
    A true Archery Nut

    Willing to help and answer archery related questions to the best of my ability ...all you gotta do is ask

    yes...that is the exception....but Bill had his own archery shop, before working at Cabelas.


    I'll also chime in for Big Game Archery in Abbotsford. http://www.biggamearchery.com/
    I have learned silence from the talkative, toleration from the intolerant, and kindness from the unkind; yet strange, I am ungrateful to those teachers.
