Gone but not forgotten

Prices are too high IMO. Midway and Cabelas beat them on lots of items.

Same here in Albany. Great place to put eyes on that rod, reel, etc.. that you are looking at. However, unless you need it right now, the prices are just too high. Particularly on guns and ammo. I understand needing to make a profit but it should be obvious to the corporate office that they've priced themselves out of the market.

I agree, their prices were way too high. I shopped there once because I was over 300 miles from home and needed a cot for my tent. You would think that someone in that organization would check the prices of their competitors and price their products competitively. Apparently that didn't happen.

Rode by the McDonough store today. 10 to 30 percent off. Mostly 10 per cent. No discount on ammo, guns etc. Didn't see any bargains.
