Cabela’s has already set aside $800,000 worth of free gifts across 100 stores for first-in-line shoppers on Black Friday. With lines starting as early as 8:30PM on Thanksgiving evening, Cabela’s stores across the country are ready for an all night tail-gate for early bird shoppers looking for some free goodies. The first 600 shoppers will be given a surprise gift envelope with a description of their prize inside.
The prizes will be similar to a sweepstakes and include firearms, outdoor supplies, and gift cards. One lucky winner at each store will take home a Browning AB3 bolt action chambered in 6.5mm Creedmoor. Other prizes include optics, bows, day packs, trail cameras, and more. Customers must be 18-years-old or older to be eligible for the prizes and anyone winning a firearm must pass the standard federal background check before receiving their new weapon. Many stores will open their doors at 5:00 AM on Friday, but shoppers should check with their local retailer for region specific hours of operation and starting times for lines beginning the night before.
