Cimmarron Archery

My experience, as with so many others who go here, is simply poor, perhaps one of the poorest retail operations I've ever experienced. If you want bad advice and to over pay, go here. Bowtech is the only reason to go here. Get your bow and go to Bass Pro in Gurnee. Don't even let them sell you any accessories or arrows. Here was our experience: a) convinced us to buy a left handed bow b/c of left eye dominance (neutral); b) sold us an expensive tru-ball release and never fit the release to the customer (just lazy); c) ordered us a bow that they could not supply and after 15 business days, made us change the order to a non-camo version b/c that's all they could get (you may want to blame that on Bowtech, but their relationship with Bowtech must be pretty poor); d) set every component of the bow up incorrectly: rest / center shot was way off, peep sight way off, draw length, an 1.5"" SHORT!!!!!; arrows were the wrong length, wrong spine and over priced (we bought a dozen for nearly the same amount @ BassPro); draw stop was on the WRONG CAM (they didn't even catch this). Our experience was a nightmare. Avoid this place unless it is your last or ONLY resort. more

I visited the Gussie's Midwest Cimmarron Archery Pro Shop the other day and was impressed by their helpfulness and product knowlege. This is a family run operation, so you will get treated personally and not like a cold corporation. They have top of the line equipment available, so you know that you will only make good purchases in the shop. They have an awesome 3-D range in the back that can be very challenging in the snow! The best part is on Friday nights they have a special kids event called ""twangin' round the barn"" that for one fee, the attendees will have a 2 hour session in the indoor range on the second floor (although I understand during good weather they sometimes move it outside), free equipment use and free instruction. I definitely will be visiting them again soon! Pros: Family atmosphere, knowlegable service, top equipment Cons: Small shop, you may have to order if you want a specific thing. more
