New BASSPRO coming to Sac Area

I earn up to $450 a year in Cabela Bucks for using their credit card.  Add in a 20% discount every now and then when they send me a coupon and that's a FREE gun every year!  But since they aren't in CA, no can do. 

More info at the new Sportsmen location, the other half of the store is going to be a Smart & Final. 

I hope they have a decent array of archery supplies.

They don't. At least not in the half a dozen stores I've been to around the country. You're certainly not going to see Bowtech, Hoyt or Matthews.

But that's OK by me. It gives Wilderness Archery their niche. And what Wilderness can't provide (like low prices on good used bows) I can get on ArcheryTalk.com.

Which reminds me, time to get some vane cement....

Here's the low down on opening day for the new bass pro shop.  We got hunting/fishing stars for autografts. We got GIANTS players coming!!  Freebies!!  And lots of other stuff....

Opens the evening of Sept 9th

I went this morning, and was unimpressed by the "sales" everything in fishing seemed marked up and then put "on sale".

I went yesterday thursday as well. Figured id miss the clusterfuk atleast by a little avoiding grand opening.i was wrong. They had sf giants players there n 90% of ppl were there for that.the dam line went from the front of the store and wrapped around back to the archery section!!! Add a 3 yr old runnin amuk hyper as can be and I just left. Way to screw it up for the actual outdoorsman ass pros.

I think I saw you there.

BPS isn't really all that exciting anyways. Seems more like a clothing store to me... I've rarely had a knowledgeable staff member help me at BPS, compared to all the help that Fishermans Warehouse has given me over the years.  And now there will be a new BPS right next to my dads house in SJ.  I may drop in for a deal on some bulk type item, but I will always try and give my local shops my business first on purchases that matter.

Shoulda said whatsup!

Even with the Bass Pro shop next door, my favorite tackle shops are still Broadway (if Jimmy is working), and FW. FW is about the same price as BPS, but they always have exactly what I want.  Broadway has Jimmy, who is by far the most helpful bait slinger in the greater sac area.

The Ace Hardware store I work in carries bass pro gear if you want one of their combos or something, I'll get it for you. No bikini girls or stuffed bears tho' just me. 

I made the 'Go Thursday after the hype' mistake too.  Hundreds people in the store, most I bet do not own a sleeping bag.  What sent me walking to the exit were the prices.  On my list was to restock Senkos after a summer of fishing-- BPS sells them for $8.99.  Huh, come again?  Put list away, fugetaboutit.  But it was good to see/touch the merchandise before heading home for some internet ordering.
