Default I made a BIG mistake

As many of you guys know I ruined my PSE bow. I contacted Cabela's and asked them what to do. They said to ship the bow to their Customer Returns Department. I talked to a few guys on this board to see what I should do. I let it out of the press too fast, and it blew up.

I asked what I should say, and they said to tell them that the string snapped. I told them that and shipped it to them. I only expected them to look over the bow and replace the cam. I contacted them today and asked if they received my bow. They said they got it, but they could not replace it. They told me that they refunded my money. They just gave me $310 for MY mistake. I feel really bad. I didn't think it would turn out this way. I don't want to go to them and said I lied, but I don't want to just take the money. If I do keep the money, I will buy the majority of my stuff from Cabela's to give them their money back. What should I do?

Well it prolly was our fault...But thats life. I'd invest it in another bow at the store to relieve some guilt. Once you buy a new PSE, you'll forget all your troubles.

Well i think i just came up with an idea that will solve the problem. Call back Cableas and tell them they shipped the refund to the wrong credit card and send the refund to me. I will take all the guilt without a problem. Lol J.k

Feeling guilty. Feeling guilty is when you give a clerk 5 dollars and get change for a 20. Then you wonder if you should tell your wife or not.

Serious Zak. I was hoping this post was going to include your truck w/38 mudders stuck up to the frame in some of that fine Ms mud I saw last week. Please go out and get it stuck like that and edit this post.

Thank you.

Zak, that's a tough call. The honest thing to do would be to call customer service and explain the truth and take your chances. They may refund the money anyway, replace the bow, or send you back the pieces. That's a chance you would have to take but the honest way out and probably the one I would tell my own son to do. Ethics are not just about taking a bad shot or hunting land without permission. The next best thing would to be buy another PSE. PSE makes good equipment and it sounds like they back their products, which goes a long way with me. Good luck.
