To give y'all an idea about the way one company is working their sales... A major manufacturer fired one of their VP's because he wasn't following the company line. They had decided that they were going to cozy up to the marts in the country to sell most of their products. He was the VP that was in charge of wholesale distributor sales to gun shops distributors in the normal gun trade and also gun club sales. So now their big push is to Wally World K mart and places like Dick's Sporting Goods and Cabela's. They even did away with most of their product Reps(who sold most of the stuff to Distributors etc). In fact..the Company no longer sells clay targets to gun clubs or distributors...but you can find their product at Cabela's and Bass Pro..among others. Sigh..I guess it is the way of the world....but it makes for higher prices...and less profit for the company itself. BUt they are owned by a holding company anyway...Just a way to bankrupt a company and make it look legitimate.
