For those of us like me, who paid no attention to this and have no clue what it means one way or the other? What is this doing for us who shoot and such?

Generally, increased competition results in lower pricing

Sportsman's Warehouse came from the same town I grew up in. Midvale Utah. Firs time I saw one of their stores was when we were down visiting friends/relatives. This was before they were up here in the NW. I think, I'd neve seen one up here. The parent store was huge, and reminded me of the old war surplus stores we used to have. I little on the dark side and product stuffed in, up on shelves above and hanging from the ceiling. There was even some of the familiar smell of canvas like the old surplus stores.
