I needed a cam change on one of my bows. I don't have my bow press set up at this time. I call Bass Pro shop to see how much it would cost. The tech quoted me a price of $50. I told him he was out of his mind. I then called Gander Mountain who quoted me $35. I declined. Now I know why my little shop did so well. I would not even think about charging someone $15 just to put a bow in a press and another $15 just to change a string and then on top of that damage their hrly rate. In my shop would have been no more than $10. That is a total rip off. And make it so bad. They weren't even familiar with my LX to set the timing on that cam. I would have had to show them what to do. UNBELIEVABLE!!!!! I was kind of wondering if their bow press is electric or gas operated to justify charging someone $15.

LOL, That is unreal! Look at the bright side, they probably did ya a favor because IMO Gander Mt., Cabelas, Bass pro, there not touching any of my equipment. Half of the people that work at these places can't even spell Bow let alone work on one! I bet you take it to a local pro shop they would hook you up.

CMREED I wasn't going to let them touch my LX. I have my own shop, but the gears in my press stripped. I used to be the head tech at Bass Pro Shop. I just needed to use the press for 5 minutes. They had no idea how to work on my lx. If you don't set that bottom cam with the holes parallel with the string it'll cause a lot of shock in the bow. When i first purchased my LX the timing wasn't set properly and I went through 6 scope rods. So much shock going through the bow. They knew nothing about that. I spoke with a friend of mine who's the head tec now said that person probably just didn't want to work on any bows because that price was totally wrong. I let him know that person shouldn't be working if he doesn't want to earn his pay check. That person no longer works there.
