By now we all know that they built a monsterous outdoor recreation store down in Buda. It is another in the Cabela's growing collection of retail stores around the US.

Carabou, Clee, Topher and I are going on an adventure this weekend to learn how to shoot. I have never learned how so this is pretty exciting for me. So, we decided that the best place to purchase the shells we need for the shotgun would of course be... How did you guess.

True to their promise, the place is huge. It has something for everyone, from hunting equipment and attire to housewares and children's toys. It was quite the experience, but I have to admit that I was a bit taken aback by the large displays of stuffed animals all over the place. This would not be a place for somebody who would be greatly affected by evidence of death to visit.

We managed to choose our case of shells and our box of skeet and navigate our way out of the store without any trouble. I will probably end up visiting again at some point. They do have a good selection of camping and kayaking gear and it would be good to compare the prices to those at REI or LLBean.
