I agree Todd, in some areas, wal-mart has made some sporting goods stores step up and get back into competing for business. But, in some markets, wally world is closing down some good stores. I have shopped in good ones and bad. I feel for the little guys who are working hard, and always have, even before the big boys came to town. I have to admit, I do occasionally shop at wal-mart, but the only hunting supplies I will buy there is stuff that is on clearance for pennies on the dollar.
