I don't even know what's up in the hunting department since all my interest is fishing these days. My son informs me SW in Sacramento is operating same way so it must be all over. They were struggling to stay afloat 6-8yrs ago and closed a few stores. After restructuring with more and newer stock they looked promising to hang around. I know covid has played part in keeping stores stocked but empty shelves don't keep the customers flowing in. I won't be going back under this situation. Has anyone heard if this could be DOOM & GLOOM for SW?I talked with one of there suppliers, several weeks ago and was complaining about the lack of stock, he said that when the Pandemic first came on that Sporetsmans canceled all of their purchase orders, it is that disruption in there supply chain that's causing the shortages as they scramble along with other retailers to fill there shelf's now.
