As best I can tell the internet is the main competitor, not that bunch of spankcarrots down the road who took over the old Hamills - look around, there's a plethora of online firearm importers in this country.
It's part of a wider picture for bricks and mortar retail in general - talk of womens' fashion shops charging women to try on dresses because they size it in the shop then order it online. Used bookstores throwing out people using handheld scanners to match their prices against ebay and the like to see if it's worth buying the book and reselling it for profit, we've all heard the stories - retail is a hard slog

Moritz the gunsmith has gone to NZ Ammunition Co in Upper Hutt and when I asked the boys what they were doing they assured me they were gonna be male prostitutes - cheerful as ever..

Im not surprised Mainly Hunting went out of business. No foot/car traffic and not open in the weekends except Saturday morning. Thats a formula for failure straight away. Its a pity as they were by far the most interesting gun store in Wellington. We look at opening a bricks and mortar every few months but the figures never work out, nor the lifestyle.

My phone call log shows I rang Dead Eye Dicks at 1549 yesty and ordered a Slik Carbon Tripod and ball head.

Delivered 1221 today great service thank you.
