WalMart Archery Clearance

Postby Old school » 03 03, 2018 •  [Post 1]

Just a FYI for the bargain shoppers out there - WalMart has some crazy cheap prices out there on their archery equipment right now - Rage, Ramcat, Slick Trick, all arrows, etc...

2 weeks ago I bought 18 of the arrows I shoot - Carbon Express Mutiny 350's w/ a wrap and 2" vanes for $3.50 each - yesterday I went back and the last 3 were marked down to $2.

Also bought 9 packs of the Mossy Oak Inflictor "powered by Slick Trick" - they are Slick Tricks, just in different packaging. 100 gr 4 blade with a 1 1/4" diameter - $7 for a 3 pack - mercy is that cheap.

Scent Killer spray, wipes, laundry detergent - all more than 50% off an already good price.

Walmarts new policy is to not sell any guns or ammo to anybody under 21yo. Dont shop at walmart.

Generally just store sale.
When in northern Utah the Walmart would drastically mark items down 80, 90 % doesn't happen here in Idaho.

i went yesterday. the siren songs of cheap Ramcats dragged me into that store. i hate the feeling of Walmarts. they are so dark and dingy. it's like where shopping enthusiasm goes to die.

no Ramcats. just a pile of arrows left. if anyone finds cheap ramcats please let me know :D

I used to pick up things on clearance sale at MalWart, but now the sales are 10% off. You can do better on Black Friday. Mitch you must have a special situation that is not being repeated everywhere.

Pointysticks - the ramcats were 50% off when I saw them here. The only broadheads they didn't have discounted were the Muzzy 3 blades that I normally shoot and the Montec G5's which I wanted to try out - but not for $40 for a 3 pack. $20 for a 3 pack and I'm a buyer. I haven't seen that yet though. They did have about 20 packs of the Montec's stuck in the clearance aisle but they were still full price so I went and got an employee and was told that sometimes the archery stuff just gets stuck there even though its not on sale. I went back to check again last week and they were all gone. Something tells me that employee had no idea what they were saying and when they did get marked down 50% someone bought them all. Right place, right time...

Swede - must be a Midwest thing. We've got 7 WalMarts within a 45 minute drive - I hit them all and there is no rhyme or reason to their discounts. Some stores still had their Mutiny arrows at full price $7.97 while others had them marked down to $2 - I bought the last 3 arrows for $2 each. I also bought those Slick Tricks just to try them. Couldn't pass them up for $7 for a 3 pack.

Anytime I ask an employee they can never give me a good answer why stores discount differently. The only reasonable answer I received was that some stores carry archery year round, so no discounts there, while other stores consider it "seasonal" so they discount certain items to open up shelf space.

I hate Walmart, but have learned to keep on eye out this time of year there and Kmart. Got 28 Gold Tips last week for $9 for a four pack.

I am jealous Walmarts around hear doesn't carry quality archery equipment. I do stock up on a lot of dead down wind stuff though.
