Does anyone shop at Cabela's anymore? I don't anymore........selection

[repins05]

A couple of people have compared Sportsman's Warehouse to Cabela's. I find that the selection at SW is substantially better than the local Cabelas. Larger selection of rifles and pistols (including black firearms) and hunting accessories. SW also carries some specialized gear like Ckye pods etc.

If I have to choose a store to go to, I would pick SW.....which is not saying much. However happy it is there because there are not many options anymore.

I occasionally walk through the Cabelas near me (about 20 minutes away). I really miss the "bargain cave" that used to be on the second floor. I would walk through it only for the entertainment of seeing things like a broken trail cam that was 10% off, that had a sticker saying "BROKEN-DOES NOT WORK- PARTS MISSING- NO RETURNS". Wow what a bargain, and I could save a whole 10% off a new one.

Only when people give me gift cards. Otherwise, there are way cheaper places.

pretty much the same for me.

How do they possibly stay in business? Look at the overwhelming consensus of the post on here, and all hunting forums for that matter.

Cabelas can't be raking it in anymore. If I go to the Kansas City store there's usually 10-30 cars, depending on time of day. Go to the Scheels store and the parking lot is PACKED. Mostly, it's people getting athletic gear, but the second floor outdoor area is always busy too.

Back in the day my friend always hit the Bargain Cave. I never had much luck finding anything. However it seemed like a huge draw. Why would they get rid of that?

So in Springfield mo they don’t have the separate building for the bargain cave anymore?

The bargain caves I have seen were a separate room off of the main floor. Local Cabelas bargain cave was converted to fly fishing. Never see anyone in there expect the cabelas salesman.

The local sporting goods store here called Green Top is beating the pants off of Bass Pro. Better merchandise also to include fishing gear.
