I've already been boycotting them since they stopped selling guns in some of their stores. Now I'm going to encourage others to boycott them.

I haven't set foot in one since they pulled a AR's. Honestly it's about time. I said fi that's how they feel just stick to golf clubs and exercises equipment.

I haven't been in a Target since they supported men using the woman restroom.

I have nearly eliminated Walmart as well. Sometimes that's tougher.

I never shopped there even when they did sell AR's. Always seemed like just an athletics store; couldn't really see why I would want to go there for hunting/shooting stuff. It's good they are pulling their guns, that will make real sporting goods stores more economically viable.

Field & Stream was bought out by Sportsmen's Warehouse + I went into Field and Stream today just to check to be sure as I haven't bought anything in that store since this hole gun removal started but heard they were bought out so I just walked in and confirmed there closing as Field and Stream Friday of this week and opening Monday as Sportsmen's Warehouse which I feel will be a much better place to go to . Field and Stream is part of or owns Dicks sporting goods,

Some body correct me if I am wrong
30 % off on any Field and Stream labeled item but I wouldn't buy/use there name brand stuff if they gave it away...

I would guess poor hunting/shooting sales have led them to sell off field and stream stores and discontinue selling guns, more than any high horse moral ideals.

Gander mountain had three or four stores here that folded prior to field and stream even opening, what's that tell ya. Too much supply, not enough market.

Hope they lose their rears lets go back to the gun store days better service, knowledge and more invested in the system. More spendy but at least they work for the cause.

I used to buy shoes at Dick's. I stopped shopping there because trapperman says it's bad. I found a local shoe store that sells the same brand of shoes for less money. It's a little hole in the wall Appalachian trail outfitter place.

I stopped going into Dick's when they stopped selling guns too.

I haven't been in a Target store for the same reason about allowing "men" to use women's restrooms. And they continue to allow this even after there have been incidents where men were caught spying and taking pictures in women's restrooms. Yet, Target refuses to change their policy. I tell all my friends to avoid shopping there.


I don't care how nice the hand soap smells, you should never walk out of the restroom sniffing your fingers.

I wouldn't give those people a dime of my money. I stopped going in their store years ago. nothing but a place for the "Preppy Type" outdoors person.
