You should check their web site and see if they have a store in your
state. The Springfield Mo store is very nice... for me at least the
store here in Illinois is a bit less than grand, but they still have
everything there... you pay tax but no shipping so it's about even in
cost over the catalog.

I'm lucky enough to have a bass pro shops store about 15 miles from my house
and I deal with them at least once a week, whether it be ammo, camo, camping
gear, fishing gear...you name it. They are top of the line. I've had no
problems returning items that were not what I expected and they are always glad
to shoot the breeze about huntin' and fishin'.
