Might just be me, however went to the Cabela’s in Buda and appeared the store has less selection for different items, especially in archery. Felt like a slightly expanded Academy archery department. The staff was friendly but not very knowledgeable. Felt the same way about the hunting apparel.

Yep, started long ago, and I don't think it's going to get better ( never the way it used to be) sucks, but I think they went the wrong direction, when they started building all the retail stores. Internet sales are we're it's at, and it would have saved them hundreds of thousands of dollars. Sucks to see it happening.

If you want top shelf equipment, particularly in archery you need to visit a pro shop. They make their living on quality and service.

I was there yeasterday. I guess I had a different experience. I needed to replace the livewell pump on the boat. Cabela's in Buda was the only store near by that had the one I wanted.
And when I went by the archery department, I saw they re-arranged things, but to me it seemed they had just as much of a selection as always.
I do think they have the end rows to close together, so it makes it hard to find stuff.

Most retailers have been stocking less and less in store to save on inventory cost. Cabela’s has been in a slow decline over the last 2-3 years since the Bass pro deal started. Even when I worked for Cabela’s i would go to Cinnamon Creek to get anything archery related.
Also, the Buda store got a new GM some time last year so that may be part of what you’re seeing
