Cabelas Allen Archery Dept. - Any good?

[Laszlo]

I bought my daughter a Diamond Infinite Edge for Christmas. Ordered it off of their web site when they had the $100 gift card promotion. We need to get the peep installed and the bow generally set up for her. Pick up some arrows and a new sight too. The phone rep at corporate told me we could take it to any Cabelas store with proof of purchase and they would set it up.

I tried calling but the archery dept. never seems to answer the phone. I'm wondering how short handed they are and if they will even take the time to help us. Maybe its the holiday crush.

What has been your experience? Is their service dept. any good? Are they ordinarily pretty responsive?

I'd take it to a pro shop to get set up. I don't think they have a very competent staff from what I've seen. You could probably get the peep tied in, the draw length, and weight set for around $30.

I used to work in the gun counter at Allen, the archery area is usually a little short staffed but the guys there are good and will always do everything they can to help you, especially to get kids set up

I've had a couple good experiences there with both my son's bows & the guys in archery spend a good amount of time out on the floor helping customers.
No charge is what they told me when we adjusted DL & peep sites.

Thumbs up overall

They're great and very competent. They set up my bow for free and never asked if I even bought it there. Friendly and knowledgeable.

I'll take her over there on a weekday. Maybe show up at opening. Weekends are always a zoo over that way.

My wife bought me my first bow a couple of years ago and they were nothing but helpful. They were busy but got to me quick and spent a lot of time with me.

Went there Monday morning. Got her all fixed up. Took a good deal of time with her.

My buddy just took in his sons Christmas present in for a peep sight, d-loop and to have the DL&DW set.

It was the Friday after Christmas and the line was 5 to 6 deep the whole 2 hours we where in the store. The young kid that set him up seemed knowledgable and was friendly.

I also had some arrows cut down to size while we were there

I would go weekdays and early to avoid the crowd, although I was told the after Christmas rush would die down...

They are super swamped all the time.
