I used to love Cabela's until they put one in my back yard. It used to seem like a candy store, and now that I can go there all the time its really becoming a Ho-Hum place. There are two things that I can't stand 1.) Too expensive (I'm a businessman and their profit margins make me sick.) 2.) Every time I go there I can't find what I want, you would think that they would have everything under the sun. On more than one occasion they have referred me to a local archery store because they didn't have what I needed. The last time I went their I need a 5/16 cable slide for my Martin Jaguar, NOPE. Oh and another thing, they built the store in a nice small community that is exponentially growing because Cabela's opened. Now for miles around where there was nice farm land that could be hunted; hotels, gas stations, fast food joints, and strip malls are springing up. I would have preffered to mail order my crap rather than see wide open spaces replaced with buildings and pavement.
Cabelas vs Bass Pro TOPIC
Above is a qoute from a topic I posted last night. I live 20 minutes from the Dundee Cabelas and I have to admit that I leave there upset more often than happy. Lets see if I can remember my last four trips... I needed the little brass wieghts to make a Carolina Rig, 5/16 cable slide, API Bowhunter tree stand (well before they went out of business), B2 replacement Whisker Bisquit and they had NONE of these items. I have a very close friend of mine that works in their archery department and he says it takes forever for them to get in new hot products.
