No details have been announced on which locations will be affected. The decision was widely reported through an Associated Press story. “While from a customer perspective we don’t like to see a reduction in the number of retail outlets for our industry’s products, the Wal-Mart decision to eliminate firearm sales in some locations may open the door for increased sales among independent retailers and outdoor ’superstores,’” said Doug Painter, NSSF president. Although Wal-Mart cited lack of demand in certain markets as the reason for its decision, recent nationwide data show that firearm and accessory sales remain strong. According to the latest statistics from the National Sporting Goods Association, U.S. firearm sales increased by nine percent, while hunting gear sales saw the fastest growth of all sporting goods categories, in 2004.

As a hunter I am very loyal to certain brands of clothing, optics, gun manufacturers, etc. The reason I am loyal is that the items I spend money on to aid in my hunting interests are items that work. These are things that I have personally tested in the field and have found them to be superior to any others. Of course it is my opinion but it works for me and I choose not to change if it works. I use Swarovski optics, Georgia boots, Under Amour, Gold Tip arrows, Wac Em broadheads, Alpine Archery Bows, Primos calls and Shadow Camo. These are what has worked for me and I will use them until they don't. However, I know a lot of hunters that buy whatever is on sale at the time and don't stick with one thing. My experience has been that seasoned hunters (ones that really get into the sport heart and soul) are pretty loyal to the equipment and manufacturers they use. I hope this helps. Olivia,

Please reply asap this is for a school project. Hi David,
