Academy. Not as good on selection, but on what they have, they beat everyone on price including WalMart.

BPS is a close second. They put a Cabelas in down here, but it is a pretty good drive from where I live north of Dallas to the northern part of Ft. Worth. Too bad; I wouldn't mind spending some money there.

Oh yeah, we have a Sportsman's Warehouse here, but it is shutting down in a week. Got a lot of stuff cheap there.

Of course my absolute favorite store is the one that is running 50% off clearances. :D
Yeah I like Academy also.. You can get some good deals on there. There is one about a mile down the road from my office.. I make regular visits there during the week..

I prefer my local guy. I do buy from basspro sometimes but only when Scott can't get something for me. But usually I just buy it from him. I feel it helps my community to pay a little more from a smaller establishment. Also, I feel that you get much better service from the small town outdoor shops than the "big guys".

There isan Academyon my way home from work and another 15 minutes from work (as well as a BPS and Sportsman's Warehouse 15 minutes away). I stop there sometimes. Last week they were running 50% off of camo, and I can't resist camo. :D

I also drive by a Richards (ie nickname) and a Sports Authority on the way home. With so many sporting goods stores in the area, it bodes well for the sportsman.

Gander and walmart and local shops, when I have a problem with the bow or need something reset I alway end up buying something from the local shop.

Academy is in the southern states. It's kind of like a Walmart for sporting goods. It looks like you are in Ohio....I'm not sure if they have any in Kentucky. When we have chains like ****s or Sportsman's Warehouse come down here, they try to overprice everything, and wonder why they don't do as well as up North. Probably don't do much competitive analysis.

I choose Bass Pro, I like to go to Cabela's too but it's afurther drive. I go to gander also, to find after season hunting clothes on sale. But I think Bass Pro has good deals on their product and things seem to easier to find in their store unlike Cabela's.

I get alot of my crap at Dikc's Then Gander Mountain is where I get my quality stuff...

Word to the wise.... When shopping on the web for christmas stuff.... Do not go to dikcs.com..... Its not what you were looking for..... at all....
