I don't want this to be a Cabelas/BP bashing thread but I am curious if others have saw a complete destruction of the guns/ammo and hunting of Cabelas? I have been to several different stores in several different states. Michigan, WV, Kentucky, Ohio. Michigan used to have a lot of shooting and hunting clothing and gear and the last time I was in there all I saw was clothes, sunglasses, and toys. All the Ohio stores are bare minimum when it comes to shooting supplies and not a stich of camo clothing. I recently visited Kentucky and stopped at the Bowling Green store and what a huge disappointment. I think the local Walmart had more guns/shooting supplies. I walked in there and I thought I was at Sunglass Hut when I hit the door. They had more sunglasses than firearms! Used S&W M&P 1.0 for $450.
Now here is the question that my girlfriend asked. Why the lack of firearms and shooting supplies such as ammo, targets, etc.? I really don't know to be honest. Is the firearm market really in that much of a dump that they are not carrying firearms, etc. I have only visited one BP in Toledo Ohio and they had a ton of shooting gear, hunting and camo. What's the deal? Share if your local Cabelas has eliminated a lot of stuff or stayed the same and what type of area its in?
My local one had a lot of ammo, camo, hunting supplies were slim but if you wanted a used gun they had a ton. If you wanted ammo they had a ton. Now shelves are catered to shotgun shooters, defense ammo and lots and lots of 9mm, 223/5.56 and 22LR. I guess stock what sells the most huh? Not a stich or camo or a tree stand in sight. They have done away with a lot of the cheaper firearms and scopes and now stock high dollar stuff. I am thinking this is because it's in a city where the average income is $80k-$200k year.
