You get a map for free when you come in the door.. Their prices vary from a little high to way out of line.. I saw some used guns for more than I sell the same thing for new... But it is shure a purrty store though.. They got a aqaurium with WV native fish in it.. There is a 40 pound catfish that was caught in a local lake here a couple weks ago.. Then there is the Whitetail museam, it has the real mount of just about every top record deer on the books.. Only one of them is a reproduction, and that is the largest deer taken with a bow.. Bargin cave looked promising but was way tooo crowded to give a through look.. The old time shooting gallery was big fun.. the restaraunt is a tad expensive, but look and smelled really good.. I will eat there next time I go up.. Some nice old stuff in the Gun library but WOW the prices are very harsh.. $1300 for a M1 Garand mixmaster,, $1200 for a O3A3 mixer.. and lets not even talk about the poor condition Trapdoor Springfield.. Used guns had a pre-ban DPMS ar-15 $1795, used WASR-1 for $495 with 1 clip and butthole stock.. Did'nt look at ammo prices,I had my kids with me and they wanted to head to the shooting gallery.. All in all it may be a good place to buy some new hunting clothes, but buy guns at your local shop.. |

Ours in PA has been open for a while. List prices are high. I don't even bother with the guns there, but they have some pretty ones in the library. Club members are occasionally offered real deals. Some of the stuff on special has really nice prices. They have a lot of stuff that I just can't find in local stores, and I like to fondle before I buy. Best to go on a weekday, weekend crowds can be ridiculous. It's nice to have nearby, I hope it doesn't ruin all the local stores. |
| I shop Cabelas online alot their waterfowl gear is very competitively priced, and excellent quality! Matter of fact my Visa card is a Cabelas card, instead of airline miles I get free stuff online! Shipping is a tad high, but it is more than offset by our local 9.25% sales tax! |

i'll be driving down there after minfest. i want to see the wva store and how the pimped it out with cool decorations. gotta be awesome! hopefully, the crowds thin out a bit before the christmas/hunting season rush starts. i don't know how much stuff i've bought from them over the years...mainly small item purchases..., but they have always done me right and seem to be good folks. in my area, between dick's, kame's, gander mountain, fin-feather-fur and some speciaty shops i can usually get most items locally. |
