[QUOTE="bwaites, post: 269605, member: 8733"] One of the issues in retail is that if you aren't growing, you are dying. Sportsmans took a great idea, and tried to expand it faster than finances allowed, a classical error in startup businesses. Look how slowly Cabelas expanded in comparison. Greed MAY have played a part, but I suspect it was only a part of the issue. If greed was their only problem, prices would have been much higher a long time ago. I'm sorry to see this happen, and hopefully they can rebound and make the core business work. Other companies have gone through similar issues, only to come back stronger and more efficient, hopefully Sportsmans can also. As for the lack of stock, that seems to be a problem in EVERY outdoors store I go in, nobody has much in the way of ammo, reloading supplies, etc. I don't think the problem is Sportsmans so much as the industry!
