RE: walmart sucks
Like they said you have to take your chances with Wal-Mart. They are not in the sporting goods business and as much volume as I see running through the Super Wal-Mart near where I live I would guess that hunting equipment sales is a miniscule parcentage of their total revenue. I do feel your pain though, I was looking at buying one of those EZ Hangers this fall to hang my bow on. The look like they would work really well and be more convenient than my stand mounted holder because then I wouldn't have to take the quiver off all the time. Well I didn't buy it right away and when I finally decided to get it a couple of weeks later do you think they had any? Heck no, sold out in all three stores Ilooked in. Am I angry at Wal-Mart? No, I understand that I am shopping for sporting goods at a discount department store.
As far as the backstock comment somebody made that really isn't very feasible. When you figure the amount of space it would take to store a department full of hunting items (assuming they kept everyone happy and stocked things all season and not just your one size and brand of broadheads) then consider the size of the storage they would need to store all the items that may be seasonal in nature (hey, if they're gonna change a policy it's going to apply to all departments not just one) that would be a lot of square footage. Now consider cost to build, heat, air condition, light, etc, etc. Not to mention the cost of keeping that money tied up for months in inventory sitting in the backroom, which would be substantial. It goes beyond the scope of this forum but interest charges on corporate debt, cash flow, opportunity cost, etc, etc.
Bottom line you know you aren't going to Bass Pro or Cabela's when you walk in the door and the old broad says "Welcome to Wal-Mart!" so don't expect that kind of service. Go in early, before the season and buy what you might find a good deal on that you anticipate you might need for the upcoming season. If things happen during the season and you need something else check back but if they don't have it then go to the experts.
Maybe a dumb question but why only two weeks into the season do you need another six broadheads right away anyway? Have you shot that many deer???
