Cabela's Shooting catalog

[Gil Martin]

Folks,
This may seem to be a minor issue, but see my concerns noted below. We need to be very aware of our image and how it may influence the non-shooting public. All the best...

Dear Sir or Madam:
I just received your 2008 Cabela's Shooting and Reloading catalog in the mail. On the cover is what appears to be a shot up tin can sitting on a stump or fencepost WITHOUT A SAFE BACKSTOP. I like Cabela's and shop at your store often. However, I suggest you rethink the picture of the shot up tin can without a safe backstop. I am a hunter safety instructor and the depiction referenced above is unsafe and unacceptable.

Thank you.

Sincerely,
Gil Martin
