RE: Hunting companies overextending themselves?
It doesn't surprise me that Cabela's is turning a profit. Every time I go to the one near me the registers are packed. Dck's also has a full lot at every location I see. The one thing these places all have in common is diversity. At Dck's you can get a bow, new golf clubs, a baseball bat, or a treadmill. At Cabela's you can get something for just about any outdoor hobby. That is probably why they do so well. They appeal to a large audience.
Quicksilver, I see you're from da Burgh. What is the shop you had to drive to out there?
