I like almost everything about the store but the archery manager Bruce has a terrible temper. I brought in my bow to get a new string and new limbs after my gf dry-fired it. I was promised the bow within two-three weeks but everytime I called after the two-three week time period the archery shop didnt have my bow ready and blamed it on Bear Archery for not sending in the limbs. I got a friend who works for a Bear Archery dealer to call and inquire about the limbs and they actually sent them to Bowie Outfitters the next business day after I dropped my bow off. I went to Bowies and told them that and they said they never recieved them but incredibly that evening a delivery truck came with the limbs on it yeah right they were at their store the entire time but didnt care because they were too busy selling new bows instead of taking care of old customers. So that entire series of events took almost two months when I was promised my bow in 2-3 weeks. I was ready to just chalk it up to them being busy when I spoke with Bruce and told him the story and he blew up on me in front of an entire store full of people he later apologized but the damage had been done. Later when I recieved my bow they forgot to put in rocker guards so the limbs cracked when I first pulled the bow back I immediately went to Cabelas and they fixed everything free of charge under manufactuer warranty. The rest of the Bowie Outfitter staff was always nice but Bruce is a terrible manager.

We had a wonderful experience purchasing our bow here... Then we brought it in for service. We were told it would take 10 days. Over a month later, I finally got our bow back. The string was not ordered as promised twice, our bow was lost for over a week, I was told I was "bothering" the archery manager when I would check on the bow a few days AFTER it was promised. The archery mgr. went back and forth on what I would be charged for. The price on the string and type of string ordered changed weekly. Then to top it off, the archery manager went off on me twice in one day! He apologized for it, saying he was having a "bad day" then did it again! They did not charge me for labor and gave me the string at the price quoted, but nothing else. They acted like there was nothing else they could do after putting us through that. We were going to upgrade both of our bows, purchasing new ones at Bowie, but that will NOT happen (unless possibly management changes). I am very disappointed and have never been spoken to before, much less by a "manager" that way. They have not only lost my family as customers, they have lost everyone I tell about our story. Great products, horrible customer service.

PISS POOR customer service. Purchased a rifle and scope. Spent $1500.00. Which was a good thing that I called in ahead of time. When I asked to have the scope mounted to the rifle the salesman told me that he did not have time to do that and that I should come back another day when he had help to watch the front desk...... What kind of place does that? I did notice that a lot of attention was being given to a lovely lady with tight jeans.............. If it wasnt for her telling the salesman to help me, I probably wouldnt have gottten the little help that I did receive.

Great products, but customer service in the archery department was lacking. Couldnt find anyone who seem like they actually had time to help me. They also quoted me 1 day to tune my bow and add a new arrow release, but they did not have it ready for a week.

I work about a mile from this place and was planning on starting to use them to buy ammo (I spend enough on ammo to cover a new rifle or bow every month) but after reading all the horrible reviews I think Ill pass.

HORRIBLE experience! BEWARE....if they have to "order" something for u because their selections is too small in store, they CHARGE u a 20% restocking fee if u dont like what u ordered. unfair!

Customer service is the worse. Ive bought many things there and its the same attitude each time Ive been there. Its as though they dont have time to deal with their customers.

Wonderful sporting goods store. Super friendly staff who are all knowledgeable. Great selection of goods. Only problem is I never have enough money to buy everything.

Picked up my Hoyt bow this morning after having Bowie change the strings and give it a tune up. It is perfect, shooting better than before. Great service!

Great atmosphere with all the top names in outdoor gear. Big tent sale going on right now. Must take advantage of the barging on top shelf gear.

Went for ladies night and got 10% off all items. I brought a friend and she was impressed with the store. Lots to choose from.
