I can let them know my feelings and adjust my shopping according to their response.

Id give Scheels a few days to figure this out.

Sure.
It's not like I go to the big city often or because I want to. It'll be a while before I have to again. No sense waiting on letting them know how I feel.

lots of company's seem to be bailing on the NRA

Allied Van Lines
In a statement to Business Insider, an Allied representative said the moving company is discontinuing its discount program with the NRA immediately. "We have asked them to remove our listing from their benefits site," the representative said.
MetLife
MetLife told Business Insider on Friday that it would discontinue its NRA discounts program. "We value all our customers but have decided to end our discount program with the NRA," a representative said in an emailed statement.
SimpliSafe
On Friday, the home-security company SimpliSafe told Business Insider that it would withdraw from the NRA discount program. "We have discontinued our existing relationship with the NRA," SimpliSafe CEO Chad Laurans said in a statement.
First National Bank of Omaha
On Thursday, the bank said it would not renew a contract with the NRA that allowed members to receive an NRA-branded Visa card. "Customer feedback has caused us to review our relationship with the NRA," the bank said on Twitter in response to a call for a boycott. Previously, First National Bank offered members of the gun-rights organization an NRA Visa card, which offered a $40 cash-back bonus.
Enterprise Rent-A-Car, Alamo Rent a Car, and National Car Rental
The car-rental giant Enterprise Holdings announced on Thursday that it would end its NRA discount program, effective March 26. The three car-rental brands that Enterprise operates - Enterprise Rent-A-Car, Alamo Rent a Car, and National Car Rental - will stop offering discounts to NRA members.
A representative did not respond to Business Insider's follow-up questions about why Enterprise was ending the program, though the company has been flooded with boycott threats on social media. Avis Budget Group and Hertz, two rivals of Enterprise, still offered NRA discounts as of Friday morning.
Symantec
The cybersecurity company announced on social media Friday that it had "stopped its discount program with the National Rifle Association."
Best Western
Best Western has been targeted by boycott efforts because it has offered discounts to NRA members as recently as 2016. In response, the hotel chain has tweeted dozens of times that it "does not have an affiliation with and is not a corporate partner of the National Rifle Association."
It is unclear when Best Western cut ties with the NRA. The company did not respond to Business Insider's request for comment or further information. Best Western has been targeted in past NRA boycott efforts.
In 2012, after the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, the activist group Avaaz organized a boycott of Best Western and Wyndham Hotel Group, calling for them to cut ties with the NRA. At the time, both hotel chains were listed on the gun-rights group's website as "friends of the NRA" and offered members discounts at hotels.
Wyndham Hotel Group
While Wyndham Hotel Group previously offered a 10% discount to NRA members, the hotel chain cut ties with the organization late last year. In response to boycott threats this week, the Twitter accounts for Wyndham and its rewards program tweeted dozens of times that the hotel chain was "no longer affiliated with the NRA."
Republic Bank
"The NRA Prepaid Card program was previously under review. Upon conclusion of this review, we decided to discontinue the offering," a representative said in a statement.
Avis and Budget
A representative for Avis and Budget told Business Insider that the brands would stop the NRA rewards program, effective March 26, 2018.

What these businesses don’t understand is that they are not attacking some corporation they are attacking us. I am the NRA. FNB attacked me with their political statement. They said they despise me and our Constitution.
I don’t need FNB - they need me.
