I'm sharing my experience with Pappas because I don't want anyone to have to waste the time and…read morehave the frustration I have had with them. The bearings in my cams of my VXR blew out the day before the 2022 archery season.... I was at pappas right away the next morning when the doors opened. I had bought my last two bows from them, and figured that would be the way to go. I showed them the issues and they told me I over tightened the axle and I would have to buy the cams and it would be weeks to get them. I took my bow and left. I called around to other shops, 2 other shops said that this is an issue that they have been seeing, and that it has been covered 100% of the time. I went back into pappas and told them this due to the other shops being even further away. At that point they said they had cams but I would still need to pay $300 for the set. I did this so I could hunt. A while later I reached out to the Mathews rep, he said that that they have been warranting, out the cams, and he would talk to Randy to get me a refund. Today I went to pick up my refund and was charged a $50 service fee for them having to process the return. This is something that no other shop in this area has done. This is gone as far as a close friend of mine with the same bow had the same issue got charged for cam by Pappa's. Went to a different dealer and that dealer ripped cams off of a brand new bow, replaced his damage cams, and sent him on his way free of charge. I do not understand why the customer service at Papas has gone downhill so far. I would've gladly payed them to put new cams on my bowl the first time if they would've warranted the cams simply for there inconvenience, but instead I had to drive an hour each way twice. I don't believe I will ever return to Papas. There are better shops in the area. Oh.... And when I pulled the cams back off of my bow to swap the top hats they put back in reverse of how I had them, the axle that was "over tightened" was tighter than it was when I took it to them the first time.

Cabela's the company has everything the hunter or fisherman needs ("wants" is another story). And…read moreI hesitate to say this because my friends will think I've lost it but every time I visit this actual store I'm left feeling kind of empty. Now I like Cabela's products, I like their selection, and I get excited when the new catalog's arrived- I even ranked high enough as a customer to get the hardbound master catalog last year. So I AM a Cabela's guy, despite the ethical issue I have with these giant stores squashing the little independent gear dealers... My problem is that their website is so well organized, and it's so easy to shop from, I have little reason to visit the actual store. The staff is very good, so that's a plus. And you can try things on in the actual store, so if you're a tough size you'll be happy to visit here. I'm not, so internet shopping's easy for me... When in the area I want to stop in here to be oooed and awed by the huge selection of stuff. But often, the one specialty thing I actually need or want they're out of stock on! Last trip I left without buying anything! And the bargain cave in the back of the store is tough to like. I guess if you go there everyday and catch the good stuff when it hits the cave you can score. But whenever I go I'm amazed at the huge price they ask for the leftover/used stuff. I mean used sneakers need to be pretty cheap- who ends up paying these prices for returned stinky shoes? So I guess as a long distant visitor, the store leaves me wanting more, and I'm often more rewarded finding the smaller specialty fishing/hunting places in terms of "destination" store experiences. If you need an extra box of shells or some flys or whatever in a pinch, I suppose it's really nice to have this place in the area, but I personally usually plan ahead and pack plenty anyway. OK, their gun selection is really nice, but in that regard I already have what I need, and can't afford what I want!
