Cabela's Shooting catalog
Folks,
This may seem to be a minor issue, but see my concerns noted below. We need to be very aware of our image and how it may influence the non-shooting public. All the best... Gil Subject Dear Sir or Madam: I just received your 2008 Cabela's Shooting and Reloading ... Discussion Thread Response (Betty N.) 06/28/2008 01:19 PM Dear Gil; Thank you for contacting us. I will be happy to pass your comments to the catalog department. I am sorry that you feel it is inappropriate. If there is anything further we can help with, please feel free to contact us. Have a good day! Sincerely, Betty Customer (Gil Martin) 06/28/2008 11:59 AM Dear Sir or Madam: I just received your 2008 Cabela's Shooting and Reloading catalog in the mail. On the cover is what appears to be a shot up tin can sitting on a stump or fencepost WITHOUT A SAFE BACKSTOP. I like Cabela's and shop at your store often. However, I suggest you rethink the picture of the shot up tin can without a safe backstop. I am a hunter safety instructor and the depiction referenced above is unsafe and unacceptable. Thank you. Sincerely, Gil Martin Schnecksville, PA gilmartin_18078#yahoo.com

Personally I think
You're just nitpicking. It's only a picture..on a catalog...that almost only shooting people look at. Yep I understand safety too.
 even if marketers don't. Do you really expect them to? Just use itin the hunters safety classes as an unsafe practice.

I understand and will use this in my hunter safety classes. When I was growing up, a city-bred neighbor moved into our rural neighborhood and did exactly what the picture portrays. I can still remember the sound of bullets whizzing overhead as the neighbor blasted away at tin cans sitting on fence posts without any sort of backstop. The neighbor ceased firing when a few other neighbors paid a visit and pointed out the error of his ways. All the best...
Gil
