I would not think so. Local shops still have the local knowledge and personal customer service that sets them apart. I’ve also heard Cabelas up near exit 199
The stuff I would buy at BassPro isn’t the stuff I’d buy at Haddrells or Chasn Angler, typically, except for perhaps rods and reels. Even then, the local guys tend to have pretty competitive price.
Saying “I am offended” is telling everyone else that you cannot control your own emotions, and thus you need everyone else to do it for you.
I’d rather have an Academy Outdoors than a Bass Pro. Academy carries better stuff.
I still like supporting local businesses, but it is nice to have another option. BPS coming might help speed up the demise of Sports Authority, that place is horrible.
