I'm not sure what I think about your rant. But, as far as the stores, I think Academy is the walmart of outdoor stores, and I think most of the others are overpriced.

I think academy is a quality store with quality products at a competitive price.

And yes, shite at BPS/cabela's is overpriced, but they gotta pay for those big fancy stores somehow.

The only knock on Academy is that their selections are limited the majority of the time

For hunting gear, particularly archery, Academy is pathetic.

Bass Pro is weird with their pricing. Ours has a Springfield XDS9 for $640 which is more than $100 than I paid for mine, but I've seen other guns that seem underpriced. Most of their ammo/black powder/reloading supplies are the cheapest in town. For example, they sell Buckhorn 209 powder for $32 while everyone else around here that carries it charges right at $40.

Pretty much every store around here charges MSRP for hunting apparel.
