Since I've had a $200 Cabela's gift card burning a hole in my pocket since 
Christmas, I also picked one up at Cabela's today.  Luckily I was limited on 
time so I couldn't do much browsing or I easily could have spent a lot more. 
I did get a free autographed Winchester Ammo cap, 1 of 1,000. I think the 
guy's name was Patrick Fitzgerald. He had his promotional video playing with 
him blasting the claybirds.  I asked how many shells he shoots in a year. 
150,000 was the answer.
