Default Jim-Bows Archery

With great regret we would like to inform you that due to construction delays we will be pushing back our opening dates:

The new Calgary location will be opening Tuesday, November 18th.

Edmonton will not be too far behind that (official date to be confirmed – again). Sorry for the inconvenience this causes our customers, in both cities. We are working hard to ensure you won’t be disappointed in either facility.

We look forward to seeing you all soon.

Please follow us on our Jim-Bows Archery Facebook page for the most recent updates.

Jim and Joey

You won't be disappointed I had to do a delivery to the Calgary location last week. It is going to be sweet. The new concept they're doing looks amazing. I can't wait for it to open.

Cheers MM

Looking forward to seeing the new store in Edmonton, enjoyed your service and staff in Calgary and love the Ridgeline Arrow Rest and Ascent Black Gold Sight I bought off of you. Need more stuff! LOL

I was in Jimbows this evening. Sounds like there will be some great door-crashers and give-aways for the grand opening. Hope I can make it to check things out!

Trades in Calgary…. brutal.
Every good trade is in high demand and most are short staffed.
I can't hire any good guys. Been searching for months. we pay well and have benefits, almost at the point where Im going to pay 3000.00 at a chance to hire a foreign worker.

We are running about a month behind on some of our projects.

I was hoping to go by there the morning of the 15th when I had too pick my buddy's up at the airport and buy another millenium stand and a couple more sets of sticks. If there's a way to make it work I'll pick them up for you.

They have no set date yet.....construction delays are hampering them. As of Last week I heard they were still waiting on getting heat in the building. It's been one delay after another. I know everyone involved are getting annoyed with the setbacks that are involved with the Contruction process
As for the Calgary store I know they're playing the waiting game.....waiting on a permit from the City.

Cheers MM

Was in the new store tonite and it is a pretty nice set up. Like the range, it seems to have plenty of light. Looking forward to shooting there.
