A low-single-digit decline in sales will reflect current inventory de-stocking trends, which had previously bloated as a result of the presidential election.

This inventory reduction is largely the result of recent bankruptcies and consolidations in the outdoor and sporting goods sector.

Sports Authority, Sports Chalet, MC Sports and Gander Mountain have all recently gone bankrupt, while Sears Holdings Corp (NASDAQ:SHLD) and Cabelas Inc (NYSE:CAB) are facing store closures.

Although most firearms and accessories distributors are expecting inventory levels to normalize by the fall, Dionisio believes the currently elevated levels, combined with an aggressive promotional environment and competitive pistol product introductions, will stifle bullish sentiments looking toward 2018.
