We have a Gander Mtn about 40 minutes away. The Archery shop is OK, but I have gotten some good gun buys there. They have a great return policy and the guys in the gun shop know their stuff. I know because, I have asked questions I know the answers to, just to see if they knew what they were talking about. They did;).
I have only been to one Bass Pro. That is the one in SanAntonio. It was more of a tour than a shopping spree. Bargains are a BIG part of everyone shopping nowadays. To save the tax is like getting a 8.25% discount here in NY, so many purchases happen online, AFTER I go to Gander Mtn to compare:D
