[Slobray]

My dad gave me a gift card for Christmas last year (he didn't know any better). I used it exclusively for shooting related items. Bought a Boresnake, earplugs, and some ammo.
It'd been a couple years since I had been there and the firearms area was dramatically smaller than I remember. Even if they still had a good selection and hadn't pulled they're December 2012 shenanigans, I wouldn't shop there because I think they're overpriced.

Nope.

Dicks is one of the few business I boycott.

If a non-sporting goods/gun business is anti-gun then meh - that's their right.

But if a sporting goods store that sells guns is anti-gun, especially anti-semi-auto gun, then I boycott them like the plague. Especially when it is Dicks who pulled a Dick move when they pulled ARs/etc. from their shelves and screwed over Bushmaster on an order.

I drive by one quite often and I am reminded of what they did everytime I see the storefront

I was hoping this was about Dick's Deluxe hamburgers

Are there any sunglasses that you want?

Not for $100 :}

What about a fit-bit/health watch?

Got one from work....

Timbers gear? Seahawks Gear?

Wut?

Any fancy ammo that you wouldn't normally buy for your gun(s)?

No, as i can't tell the difference, other than hollow points for carry (which they don't sell as it's pistol ammo and you don't hunt with that....

Weights? Weight Belt?

Hmm, prob not.

Yoga Ball?

Got 2

A new yoga mat?

I'd use a gun mat

Athletic Shoes? Golf Shoes? Running Shoes?

Nope.

Locking Gun Cabinet?

Amazingly over priced and, other than take the ammo out to the garage, i don't know what i'd do with it

Golf club / Putter?

Never understood that game....

Football? Glove? Baseball? Softball?

I'm too old, too un-American....

I'm sure there's something that you have been thinking about that you might be able to find there.

It's looking like 5 boxes of 30.06 for $12 at the moment.
Although the rangefinder seems like a possibility, for what use it'd get.

If not, there's always the Gift Card Exchange: Gift Card Exchange - Buy, Sell, and Trade Gift Cards Online | Cardpool

Didn't know about that place, interesting, i think i'll get my monies worth in rifle ammo rather than taking the hit there though.

Thanks!

Went in the spring to use a gift card. Ill never go back.

Donate it to your favorite charity and write it off your taxes.

 

[Velzey]

Your 1903 Springfield will like that 30-06 ammunition!

 

[DeanfromOregon]

I would give the card to a youth sports organization for the their scholarship athletes and call it a day.

 

[F2CMaDMaXX]

I like the charity options but i've got charities already sorted

It's really looking like some 30.06 or a rangefinder at this point.

 

[DeanfromOregon]

Yeah the point is I will not do business with Dicks personally out of principle. A free coupon is still a business transaction so I would need to keep my principles intact.

Not trying to be all high and mighty just that I do not like that company. YMMV of course.

Went in to one when they first opened up in the area. I was in there for 5 minutes when I determined it was an appropriately named business.

 

[F2CMaDMaXX]

I have to comment on the fishing gear someone mentioned, it's everywhere, but doesn't look like a range, just lots of the same stuff.

It's where i remember there being more firearm associated accessories, that section is more closed in, and where the counter is, the racks are sparsely populated and the glass cases are practically empty.

Dick's isn't any thing more then a Parasite, "Also Sports" store like many others. After Joe's went down the flusher, I had hope that some one would come in and take PNW sports seriously, Guess not! They did have some good firearms and decent fishing gear at first, but from what I saw the last time in one of there stores, not very much legitimate for the area! Plus, like posted above, they live up to the name! Fishermans should have buried that store out by the mall and delta park, but I guess the soccer moms that stop in are what keeps that business going!

 

[SFGIANTSGUY28]

Hell if you can't think of anything I will buy from you for 80 cash. Pm if interested. I need some camping stuff.

 

[F2CMaDMaXX]

Thank you, but i'll use the fall back of rifle rounds, i can't say no to them, i was just trying to think of something that i wouldn't normally spend the money on.
