RE: Fed-up with Gander Mountain

Shh, Mathews came out with a dual cam bow and just didn't advertise it.

As mentioned, even if the single cam was out of time it shouldn't have been throwing arrows all over the place like that. My guess was something with the tune of the bow...nockheight, centershot, rest setup, etc...

We got lucky here in NC. The bow tech at Gander Mountain here used to own his own bow shop.I guess it just depends on how particular the management is when they are hiring.

RE: Fed-up with Gander Mountain

ok so I go to gander to see about getting some arrows made since they are open late and I figure "how bad could they mess up making an arrow". Needless to say I left after the kid working the archery pro shop looked at my brand new tribute and I quote him :

" that is an ok bow but have you shot the new bear truth" LMAO

he said for me to leave the bow with him overnight so he can make arrows and I told him I wouldn't leave this bow with my wife overnight. I saw him drooling at the opportunity to shoot this baby into the target a thousand times and he knew it.
