I will only say that I was given very poorservice from the Detroit BPS and vowed never to shop there again. I did complain to their main office and I never heard a reply. Poorcustomer service = shop somewhere else.

You know used too, you couldn't find a shop that would let you shoot a bow before you bought that bow. Things have changed. Which is good.

My BPS let me shoot a bow forever. Okay theyd have probably stopped me after 30 but I shot my bow around 15-16 times(yeah, I bought it).

I used to work for John Deere...Farmers wanted us to bring them a tractor for demonstrations...We are talking 175 hp, cab, air, etc...$100,000 tractor...

I'll ask you, would you buy a "new" tractor that had 12 hour already on it??

I think you took advantage of them by shooting so much and not buying the week before, you are probably the reason that they had to change the policy....

I remember the first compound bow that I ever pulled...I shot it twice and bought it...No need for 24 shots to "see what it will do"...

I have the same prob at our Bass Pro in Md... Just one of the many times I went there they had a sale on bibs... When I got there THE DAY OF THE SALE they only had extra smalls and 3X and 4X bibs... I don't even bother to go there for there worthless sales[:'(]I buy my stuff from Cabela's catalog or the local sporting goods...

I never go to BPS for a bow or for any type of advice. I know some of the employees that work there are very knowledgeable, but some don't know come hear from sickum. I only go to BPS to buy something that I already know I want or know about.

I have had a few buddies work at the BPS in OKC, and they told me to never trust anyone in their bowshop to set up or tune a bow. They were hired with no experience and had to learn on the job. I just don't trust having my bow worked on by someone I can't get to know. I like going to my local shop where they know me by name and treat me with good service that I know is right.

I will only buy bows in pro shops. Most retail places can't even get your draw length right, much less set up your bow.

In my pro shop they let you shoot a bow as long as you like.

Long live pro shops....

I have to admit I also haven'tordered fromBPS in a long time. At one time I preferred them to Cabelas, before I knew any better. They always seem to be backordered on any items I order! I prefer Cabelas anyway for any hunting supplies or camo, and would never buy a bow from them, as I prefer a pro shop.

Thats pretty stupid of Bass Pro to only let you shoot the bow three times... Im sure many other people will want to test fire a bow, so everyone will be getting their 3 or more shots in. As for me, I also get all of my stuff from bass pro.

I ordered a 180 dollar Johnny Morris baitcast reel this year from bass pro... the fathers day sale was in effect, thank god, and I got it for 147 dollars. They told me it would be here in two weeks. A month and a half and many angry calls later, it turns out that the post office lost it or it got stolen. Bass pro sent me a brand new reel free. But, of course, one of the ball bearings inside of it was ground down and I had to send it to the Bass pro reel and repair shop. I told them, replace the bearing, number 67. Instead, I waited for two weeks and got a brand new reel handle and drag star for free! So, again I had an angry call for bass pro, and I am again waiting on another reel [:@]
