Seems to me the sporting goods mega store market is fairly well saturated right now. There is nothing special about going to a Cabela’s or BassPro anymore. Dick’s just built a megastore which includes a Field and Stream in our town. There is also a Gander Mountain. Another regional sports store called Scheel’s is within spitting distance. Seems to me there will be some carnage in this sector during the next down turn.
Dicks buckled and took AR15s off their shelf. i haven’t been in their store since. I go to cabelas and Gander Mountain all the time, bass Pro less frequently though it’s quite close.
