Best Gun & Ammo Stores

In 1961, Dick Cabela decided he was going to start selling fishing products that he bought at a Chicago furniture store. After going to the furniture store, Dick went back home to Chappel, Nebraska and decided to turn his idea into a business. He ran a classified ad in a Wyoming newspaper advertising his affordable hand-tied flies. Only one person responded to the ad to buy. Dick then decided to sweeten the ad by offering free hand flies. He ran the ad in several national outdoor magazines, and before he knew it, hundreds of people started to respond. After the overwhelming response, Cabela's was born. Today, Cabela's is a leader in the hunting, fishing and outdoor industry.
