I know they're TNDeer sponsors, but Turk's Sports Shop won't work on anything but what they sell. They sell Parker and Excalibur.
I called them today to ask if they'd change the string and cables for my Barnett, and the fella told me all they worked on was the brands they sold.
That's absolutely fine, I understand that thinking, but on the TNDeer "Turk's Sports Shop" Sponsor page, it states "We Service all brands of bows".
Not trying to be an A-hole, just saying they might want to change the ad.
By the way, the good folks at Choo Choo Archery just down the road don't have the same "requirements", and are only too happy to help a man out.

Businesses just don't seem to care about customer service anymore.

It's not really that bad, this is a dang good guy I'm talking about. I'm just disappointed that he evidently won't mess with anything unless it's sold in his store.

I went by his place two years ago to buy a crossbow from him, well I didn't because I didn't like his service...

In defence of Turk , he probably knew that until recently Barnett had been "out of business" while the company was being restructured and sold . Parts were not avaliable for repairs and the warranty dept. was shutdown . They have only in the last 2 wks. or so been catching up on their backlog . BUT,the real bottom line is that any business has the right to refuse repair service for any reason . Try takin your bow to one of the "bigbox" stores in the area and having service done . They wont touch it either .

That won't fly either, I already had a new string and cables, and told him as much.
"Bigbox" stores--scru'em, they don't get my sportin' goods bidness.
My preferred method is to research the crap out of whatever I'm about to drop a load of money on, then go buy it from a Mom'n'Pop if possible, or order from Cabela's if necessary.
Funny thing, Choo-Choo Arcery didn't have the same qualms. They've always came through for me, guess I'll just stick with the old faithful.
No problem, it all worked out.
Just telling folks to not bother with Turk's unless they bought their bow there.

Randy Ownby at FishTales changed my string last year even though he sold Parkers.

I don't know anything about your situation with Terry but I know for a fact that he is constantly working on bows that people purchased somewhere else. He also works on brands that he doesn't carry. I have known Terry for years and am frequently in his shop, so I am going on personal observations. He has also been known to, on numerous occasions, to open the shop after business hours to help hunters with equipment problems. Maybe he was just having a bad day, which we all have from time to time.
