It depends what I'm after. If I'm buying an expensive ~whatever~ usually I'll buy online and price shop.

For run of the mill stuff..D1cks is the biggest I have around me. But I can travel to Gander Mtn.

For me, being up here in Canada, I usually wait until Cabelas has a sale on the clothing and then I make a trip south...couple times a year.

Everything else, I either get from my local bow shop or off the classifieds from these discussion boards.

Cabela's has allot of hunting accessories and ect but like most of the other Hunting stores you listed they all suck when it comes to Traditional Bow Hunting equipment. I choose my local shop but I probably shouldn't of even went with that one either. I get most of my traditional stuff when I go to the big traditional shoot they have in Coon Rapids Minnesota every year. There's usually a bunch of vender's there so I stalk up on everything I think I'll need for the year.

Love the Cabela's. Especially since my daughter works up there.

The local bow shop owner passed on and his sons retired. Closed the shop. Until then, it was my favorite hunting store. WalMart here is practically worthless for huntin' stuff. So, now it's mostly Cabelas or Bass Pro, whichever has the best price on the exact thing I'm looking for. I marked Cabelas because it seems to be where I wind up more often, but it could've gone either way.

From my pro shop, almost exclusively. The only thing I don't get there is my camo.

I don't have a favorite. I've shopped at 7 of the choices given and will continue to do so wherever I find a decent price or has a hard to find item.

To be honest......excluding bows.....

I shop at Lancaster a lot. 3Rivers for my trad gear......

....and anything else....I've been fortunate enough to make the right relationships that allow me to purchase from the mfr's. or mfr's reps.
