The Sportsman's Guide was born in the brain
and basement of outdoorsman Gary Olen, back in the winter
of 1970. His very first Sportsman's Guide Catalog came out
in 1976.
During the ensuing years, the basic philosophy
and attitudes of the company haven't changed much. They
sell only quality items...and they only sell them for a
whole lot less than others do. They only offer gear and
clothing they'd use themselves or suggest to their best
friends.
Today, The Sportsman's Guide Catalog and
Website has over 8 million value-minded customers who enjoy
the quality and appreciate the savings. A public company,
they're listed on the Nasdaq stock exchange under the symbol
SGDE.
