Anyone else find this offensive?

[Rob DiStefano]

as with many "outdoors" vendors, cabela inc. isn't 100% trad, nor trad oriented.  sure, some of their offerings apply to traditional bowhunting, but that's not their focus and never will be.  when it comes to traditional bowhunting/archery supplies, cabela inc. won't get my dollars ... but you and i know who will.

Ain't no need to get sore about it boy's screw em just buy frow somewhere else.It doesn't offend me cause i don't give a crap what people think about me or how i hunt,i have walls full of animals and my freezer stays full.Heck if they made them longhandles in camo i might trip around the woods in em a little but i'd probly buy em from 3 rivers instead.Ain't no need in gettin worked all up we get funny looks at compound mixed 3-d shoots.I've never heard of our rest movin or think somebody moved my sight and so on.Let them be the ones to piss and moan about everything and just be proud of doing it the hard way.

"anyone who deliberately alienates 10% of the market (as someone here estimated) isn't smart enough to mail a box."

Could the same not be said for those who deliberately alienate others based on their legal hunting methods?

[Bowspirit]

Can't say I'm all THAT offended by such a commercial. Mostly because, I AM that gentleman in the red longjohns, stumbling all over the place. At least it feels like that sometimes. I just don't want people thinking it's weapon that makes the difference. I'm the same stumbling, fumbling hunter I've always been...my longbow didn't have anything to do with it...

[Don Thomas]

Lenny, it will be a sad day indeed if everyone here is expected to endorse the concept of crossbows in archery season just because a combination of regulatory stupidity and corporate greed has successfully made them legal. Don

[stick_string]

Just saw this tread...

Was not offended, My mother in law worked for them and they do ALOT for hunting/conservation, etc........

They employ alot of folks and do alot for the community  and conservation.  Good on you guys for getting it pulled.

[Lenny Stankowitz]

Don...

I wasn't referring to crossbows but that's ok.
 
Everyone has their ox to gore, too bad they alienate 10% of the "market" with each one.

[D. Devall]

i guess yalls rantings got to them cus i never seen it down here. and i never found anything worth buying at cabellas anyway, so no great loss. BASSPRO, here i come!

They all just seem like a bunch of arrogant jerks because they think their equipment is sooooooo much better than anybody else's and because of that, they always seem to think they are better hunters.

A couple of these yahoos I know only drink imported beer and wine. I mean c'mon, that's just not right.

Lets not lower ourselves to the darkside. We are better men/women than that. These are statements I expect from them,not us. Lets not lose the respect for ourselves as traditional archers and give the others the satisfaction.

BTW- I drink expensive wine. Please don't call me a yuppy.

Mike,

my wine wasn't expensive till they upgraded the carton.

Thanks, I needed that today!

[Colt]

leatherneck,

Excuse me, I guess I'm just not,mmmmm, what's the word..........sophisticated.

There is not ONE guy I hunt with who would rather crack open a bottle wine than a Bud. Not lowering myself to the darkside, just stating a fact.

Please don't call me a dumb redneck.  

[leatherneck]

Nothing about sophistication bro, my beer is Busch Light.(Buds too expensive) Heck I work in a prison for crying out loud! Not sure who called you a dumb redneck but you probably need to address that with them. When you find them let me know, cause this redneck will help you put them in their place. I grew up in the hills of WVa!
Just don't want to give them any more ammo. We(me,you, and all other trad gangers) are too good a people for that.
Maybe one day me,you, and your Budweiser can share a campfire and I'll introduce you to some fine wine and some fine shine!    Take care.

Mike

[Colt]

'shine?????????

My Grandad (mom's dad) used to make 'shine. Guess where they are from. That's right. West Virginia. No kiddin'.

Actually, I don't drink Bud, just my buddies. I like the beer from a local brewery from Chippewa Falls,Wisconsin called Leinenkugel's. Beer of the northwoods. Stuff is GREAT!!!!!

You be careful working in that prison.

[leatherneck]

Small world after all!

I've heard of that beer before. I'd like to try it one day.
Well, heading to the farm to watch some deer. Looking to see if "big ten" is still lurking. Later all.

Mike

[Biggie Hoffman]

Don T. Very well said....

I don't know guys, I kinda thought it was funny!

[wollelybugger]

I love Cabela's catalogs, especially the really big heavy one's, I get to laugh at my mailman everytime they put one out. Its Fall catalog time. HA HA HA.

[Don Thomas]

I'm glad to see we're back to important things like beer vs. wine! Just don't assume that my fondness for a good glass of the latter at the end of the day means i've forgotten my own redneck roots! Don

[joevan125]

I took up trad archery 4 months ago and me and a buddy are going on a ohio deer hunt. Every time i talk to him he keeps asking me if im really going to use a recurve. I have been shooting 75-100 arrows everday and i never did that with my compound, i love it.

[Killdeer]

Thanks, misspelt trout fly.      :D
