Go sit in front of Gander Mountain and take a head count of crossbow purchaser this week. Last several times Ive been there in the last several months being there only a short time and often during the week, not even weekend, and Ive seen guys in process of buying or walking across the parking lot carrying a crossbow on every trip. At least one and on one trip two different sales.
Not pointing out to predict doomsday. Just sayin', they ARE selling and selling WELL from my observations.
That shop must suck. My buddy's shop has sold over 150 crossbows this year. Of course they have also sold a ton of compounds and trad bows....but you can't tell me guys aren't buying the xbows. I personally know of over a half dozen of my co-workers that bought them. And for the record not one of them is over 50 years old or has any limiting handicap that would have prevented them from bowhunting at any point prior to this year. When asked the answer is always the "easy" factor.
