Dicks sporting goods and excalibur bows

Post by longbow joe »

I have been treated very well over the years at my local dicks. On all products sneakers etc. My two girls are always buying something clothing wise there. I really like the score card system im always getting the checks for ten dollars back its nice to get "something back" . Sometimes they irk me by not having the simplest things .....like fletching cement lol. ..... but for the most they are really good with fishing and hunting basics. with returns also. Never an issue.
Sooo. Basically my big question is why do they not carry excalibur products and accessories? A year or two ago l actually saw a synthetic axiom on the shelf ....thats it just cheesy barnetts and wicked ridge. I don't even see flat nock bolts on the shelf . Whats the deal with them?.why would someone not sell such a simple straight forward product that dosnt hardly ever get returned.?

Dicks new Field and Stream store up here in Dickson City had 2 Micro 335's hanging in the archery/crossbow section when they opened last month. Went back a week later and one was gone.

You are about 45 minutes from Woody's. GO THERE. Buy the sneakers golf whatever at Dick's that you like. My point is I wish Excalibur would cut ties with chain stores. Even locally is Lancaster Archery, they carry Excalibur but don't know anything about them. Without a doubt there are many good crossbows out there BUT what other manufacture is producing recurves equivalent to the Excalibur. Basspro now owns Cabelas and I like them both but I still like to deal with the local independent shops.

They don't have a contract with Excalibur and their distributors don't have one either and Excaliburs,Most likely would sell as fast .In a business like Dick's they need products that sell fast and the crossbows they have sell fast .

A couple years ago, maybe Sandy Hook, Dick's took all their black guns out of the store as a knee jerk response. I won't go in one now...

When bow tech bought out excalibur they bow tech canceled a lot of distribution contracts with certain dealers.

That is why you don't see excalibur crossbows at Academy Sports anymore, at least around Arkansas and Oklahoma.

I think I saw on the dealer web page that Dick's was a dealer I will have to check again . Just checked and they are listed as a dealer it could be up to the store manager to order and stock them.

Bought my Excalibur Micro 335 at Field & Stream ( Dicks owned) on sale $765.00. South hills of Pittsburgh. I think they want the Excalibur sold at he higher end store. They say someday Dicks will do away with hunting equiptment. But has not happened yet

But I have to say Dicks prices are hard to beat. Field & Stream don't have a lot of sales. Only certain times of the year
