Another vote here for reloading supplies at Fleet Farm....

I loved those as a kid. Can't handle them now. Like you said, fond memories.

Finish off the move to better quanity of handguns and then go to reloading supplies! That would be awesome! One thing FF could do that would be even cooler... Make their stores as numerous as Target( :roll: ).

I'm on the animal cracker bandwagon as well...

I remember circus peanuts as well, my grandfather would buy them for me as a kid. Funny how you remember the little things.

Anyways, back on topic, we've got a lot of things in the works. We appreciate your feedback and continued support. You guys should be seeing new additional handguns in the stores soon as well.

Just talked to my buddy at FF yesterday, he said there will be a bunch of new holsters and accessories coming as well as the new handguns! Yay Fleet Farm! :D

I've seen a T shirt that said "If there's no Fleet Farm in heaven, I ain't goin!"

Anybody know if they've seen shirts like this anywhere for sale?

Two things bother me about Fleet Farm...

One is, there are so many things for me to look at, my progressive bifocals drive me crazy. Look left - look right - look left.... I have to stop and turn my head, or everything's a blur.

The other thing is the slogan. Can't we figure out a better slogan than "we love it"? I think, "if we don't have it, you don't need it" would be more appropriate.

All of this discussion has me even more excited about the new store in Carver opening soon (i've only heard rumors so far of July 1st).

If any of you happen to stop out on opening day - me and some of the other local yokels are planning a little tailgating get together in the parking lot that day (er... we haven't told FF, not too sure if we should or not ;).

We are also trying to convince the bars in Carver to offer a free drink with any FF receipt from that day... not sure if they'll do it or not.

I'll keep you all posted as we get closer.

My beef with FF is that everytime I go there, I seem to come across solutions to problems I didn't even know I have. It's hard to leave that place with an intact wallet.
