Academy is building a store where the old KMart was in Cartersville. Bass Pro is building in Bartow Co too. It's gonna suck for all the overpriced LGSs.

Supposed to be one coming to Augusta in Spring 2014 as well-just announced this morning
Cabelas in Augusta

Strangely, just yesterday it was announced that a Bass Pro is supposed to be here (Augusta area) in 2015

Great news.  Wonder how they worked out their issues with the state that caused them to pull the plug on the Adairsville store they were going to build a couple of years ago.  Hope that doesn't happen here.

Great to hear it will be within an hour of me.  Big fan on their online store, although recently they did such a crap job packaging a 1400rd bucket of .22 it was sent back

Sweet. They are building the Bass Pro Shop in  Acworth and now Cabelas in Woodstock. They will be about 10 miles of each other and I am with in 10 minutes north of Acworth in the Cartersville area. Nice.

Been in the Bass Pro at Myrtle Beach a few times and the prices were too high for me. Most things I find on the net the cheapest even shipped. Not sure if Bass Pro has it but I think Cabelas lets you order on the net with no shipping fee in store pick up. That might save me  a little even after the tax is added to it. Don't see how Augusta will ever support all these sporting goods stores at once. Got to wonder in what order they will close up after a while.

I work in Cartersville and live in Woodstock so these will all be very convenient for me. The chances of me actually finding 9mm, however, will increase by 0%.

According to what I read, Emerson.  Also planned to open in 2014...

http://www.bizjournals.com/atlanta/real_talk/2012/12/bass-pro-shops-lands-at-bartow-county.html

So both will be within about 10 minutes of each other.

They're similar IMO to Bass Pro, so much of the retail price is relatively high, but when they have sales it can lead to some really nice deals.

Ditto.  I live off Woodstock Rd and take the little road between Priest Rd and 92 (right where Cabelas is going to be) every day going to and from work.

BPS is going in off the Emerson exit (the one right before the Red Top Mtn exit).  Get off the exit, turn left, and it's up the road a bit on the left.  It's going to be part of a larger outdoor sporting complex thing.  They're already clearing land.

I agree.waldens was overpriced and so was dicks.  I am sure that academy will try to be competitive. With the new stores.

To far from me, but I will stop in if I'm over that way.

Haven't heard any smack talk, I just dropped off a rifle with Scott a week ago up there.
Although he isnt working up there as a salesperson, they are still letting him do some gunsmith work There/through them apparently.
Sent you a PM.
