Yes I drove over to the new store location and got to look at the store front. It was after dark and it still looked good. Can't wait till they finally open the doors and I can shop there.

I went to D**** yesterday and purchased a laser range finder. I have 90 days before I can't take it back. I am trying it out.

I hope that Gander Mountain is a Remington Certified Gunsmith store. I have an older 1973 Remington Model 660 222 cal rifle that needs to have the trigger/safety fixed as per a 1979 Remington Recall. Remington will pay for it or I can ship it to the Remington Factory. I am hoping that I can get it fixed at Gander Mountain's new store here this Oct.

I hate to have to ship it all the way to Remington factory as that may be a lot of trouble and expense. It would be easier to have someone in town fix it while I wait. Wishful thinking.

Rajo's Gun shop will fix it but they have to ship it to the factory and I'll probably have to pay for that too.

I am in the market for a new ultra light spin cast pole to go with a new Pflueger reel that I picked up the other day.

The guys at D**** Store seem to always be more concerned about getting their stocking done than helping the customers at times.

I like to see the specs on any thing that I am about to purchase. I want to read the manual or at least look at it before spending 100 bucks on anything. The range finder cost 300 bucks and they acted like they were put out because they could not find a manual for the display unit. They had to go all the way to the front of the store to find a new unit that was stored inside a huge Safe up by the check out area. The manager had to open the safe and get a new boxed version of the range finder out so that I could look at it and check out the specs. I ended up getting the non camo one. I may see if they have the camo one and take this black one back and exchange it for the camo one. Or I may just return the entire thing and get a better one that has a lighted display. The one I got does not work at night.

I have a feeling there will be a lot of sportsmen shopping at Gander Mountain Store.

I saw on their web site that they have a lot of stuff going on with guns. Evansville can use a good gun store that can repair guns and sell them too.

It won't be too long before Oct gets here.

As far as D***'s, I won't go back to that store for fishin gear, tackle or lures. Only place I've been able to find my favorite lure is Bass Pro. Wal Mart has a smaller version but I like the full size.

God 1st, Family 2nd and everyone else get in line . . .
A bad day of fishin is a day not fishin . . .
