Cabelas Service

[Andy L]

Still havent got a second response. The first one said it would be very soon. See what happens.

Should I send another if I dont hear from them in the next day or so, or just let it go?

How about utilizing the "e-mail to a friend" feature and send this thread link to Cabelas. May be that'll get you a response. Or call Customer Service and ask for someone who cares. As a concenred customer, of course.

The Sportsman's WareHouse is another good chain and have got some pretty good deals from them.

Nulle, have you been to the Sportsmen's Warehouse in Sioux Falls yet ? My best friend just went to work for them, he flies the big shots around and says they're a great bunch of people. The owner is a big hunter himself. They're looking to open another 20 stores or so in the next 2 years. I recommended somewhere along I-90 in the Black Hills area. I think there would be a good base of resident customers, plus a lot of outdoors people passing by all year long. Keep your eyes open.

We have a Sportsmans Warehouse in town. They are like a mini Cabelas. They have a good selection of reloading equipment and guns. Pricing is comparable to Cabelas but deals can be found. Our Super Wally actually just started carrying reloading supplies and their prices are higher than Sportsman's. Just waiting for Wally to close it out again .

We went to Cabelas first and then to Sportsmans in SF. We had certain items we had priced and SF had Cabelas beat on all items.
The one in SF is pretty darn big and if its a mini it is not by much.

Nulle,

Showroom SQ Ft may be closely comparable but the aisles are closer together in Cabelas which allows more variety of "stuff". I actually like Sportsmans for having a more open layout because I'm more of an in and out type shopper. I know what I want before I get there and don't like dealing with the crowds on the weekends. Cabelas marketing of their retail showrooms is as a end destination for folks. For example Sidney, Neb doesn't exactly have much for tourist appeal other than Cabelas. They expected folks to spend a full day at their store, therefore RV parking, semi parking, dog runs and now hotels, restraunts etc. Cabela also has the infamous catalog and web site. If you pull up Sportsmans Warehouse on the web they're a toddler in comparison. SW gets a lot of what used to be my Cabela biz because they are 10 min from my house, so I don't have to make a list and I don't have to pay freight or gas $ or use one of my days off to travel to Sidney ( 2hrs one way ). Personally, unless I'm looking for something in specific, SW will get most of my day to day biz. If I want to get out of town, shop the bargain cave, stroke a bunch of high end guns I'll road trip to Sidney. For your day to day items I think SW will probably beat Cabelas easily because they just don't have the overhead.

[Nulle]

Ditto and I hope they get a SW in the Western part of the state soon.

Hey all,

If you are looking for catalog shopping, either on-line or by phone, there are several businesses that support Huntchat and would love your business. Me being one of them.

item for item competitive with Cabelas and BPS

Each purchase also helps fund the battle to protect gun rights.

Checked the website out and it doesn't appear to have quite as much selection as BPS or Cabelas. Granted, I only checked out the waterfowl decoy section, but that seemed to be pretty enemic. If I have to pay for shipping, I try to order as much from Cabelas or BPS as possible because after a certain dollar amount, the shipping is essentially free.

fabs,

I agree that the shelves are a little bare but we've only been at it for less than two years. It will get better and better.

Items are being added every week.

crawl before you walk, walk before you run.

pb,
Nice site you got there. Gotta start somewhere, I agree. I see some things I need to order before fall, and guess where Im gonna get them?

I would be more than happy to support your effort and a HC sponsor.

Expect an order before fall.

Thanks Andy!

If there is anything you need that you don't find, Let me know.
We all come from different hunting and fishing backgrounds and have our product preferences so we may be totally overlooking certain items or unique products for outdoorsmen.

In put is always welcome.

Hi All,.it`s been awhile,.....hope everyone is doin good,......So anyways,...
I got to speed read through most of this thread,......and i didn`t see anyone post anything about Gander mountain?
They used to be cheaper then Cabela`s and Bass Pro,......I know they don`t have a catalog anymore.
But I did find a place that was decent on pricing,.......It`s ; Keystone Coutry Store ,and they have online ordering and a catalog,......if anyone is interested let me know, or I can post the web addy here.
I would now but I dont want to get into trouble for spamming,......lol
Also I would like to find a place that carries the Oneida Compound bow,...or any of them.
Cabelas ,Sportsmen Guide,Gander Mount., none of them carry that bow line.
Ok Later All,.
SAFE HUNTIN~

[Nulle]

Yup Gander was another good one and as you stated I havn't seen them around much. They getting pushed out or what ?
Years agoe Herters had a Very big outlet and now they are gone except for some waterfowl stuff.
