For Shelby this is your 'Academy Sports'. They have just about everything you would find at the…read moreother sporting/hunting good store. Now the selection and tidiness of the store may not be the same caliber but for the most part it's a typical good ol' Shelby version. Staff were minimal but were willing to help and answer any questions you have. There is only one register located on the parking lot side for the sports goods and another one at the hunting counter. The register for the sports section leading into the mall is closed, probably for good as it had a pile of boxes and store shelving kinda piled on top of it. The selection of items was solid but don't expect everything to be put back where its labeled, again the staff was minimal so restocking was eeeehh... ok-ish. As for value for your money, its about the same as any other sports store, I wouldn't say you get bargain prices but you may save some gas money not having to drive to Gastonia for your gear or guns. We however struck out looking for baseball pants as the selection had already been picked through and we headed off to the real Academy in G-town. Overall its a solid 4 star Shelby business.

I just want to give a huge shoutout to Scott at Dunham's Sports in Shelby, NC. Every time I've come…read morein with questions about firearms, Scott has gone above and beyond to help. He's incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and informative, making sure you understand every aspect of your purchase so you can feel confident about your decision. What really stands out is how genuinely passionate he is about helping customers--not only does he answer all your questions thoroughly, but he also makes sure you're aware of any in-store promotions or deals you might otherwise miss. That level of honesty and attention is rare, and it's clear Scott takes pride in making sure his customers walk away satisfied. If you're thinking about buying a firearm or just want to talk to someone who knows their stuff, Scott is absolutely the guy to see. I can't recommend him enough!

Very nice folks. Used guns a bit pricey, but they are everywhere…read more No real deals on new ones, and ammo isn't cheap, either. Inventory variety could be better for such a big store. Need to look at local businesses for pricing competition. I didn't buy there. They are for the local yokels that won't travel 30 miles to find better prices. Not sure if they have gunsmith capabilities. That would make it worth the extra bucks. They need to hire a good gunsmith and expand. It is a good location, however. Like to see a bigger sign. One big negative is their website lacks any real info about their inventory. They rely on Facebook for communication. Only idiots trust Facebook with their info. Also, if you try to create a Facebook page just to get info about businesses, 80% chance Facebook will deny you. Look if up in complaints about Facebook.

New gun prices seem inline with online pricing. Used gun…read moreprices way over priced. Helpful staff. Accessory items like gun oil, holsters, cleaners, etc. also over priced. Pay $17 and change for same gun cleaner purchased at another gun store for $14 and change. FFl fee is ridiculous at $40 bucks when it is $25 at most other gun stores. Did find another gun store in Shelby charging $30 ffl fee. $5 above avg. is ok, $15 over avg. is gouging. They seem to cater to the local hunters/sportsmen who don't think twice about paying inflated prices but wonder why they are in $20k of credit card debt.

With it being 2026 you would think buying NFA items old be a breeze as there is no longer the $200…read moreATF tax but you still have to do the form 4 and wait for the ATF to approve the form. With changes to E forms the ATF had a period where approved forms were not email notifying the client. So we filed the form 4 on 1/21/26. I waited a month and knew something was wrong. Went to the shop and asked them to check as the ATF had a known problem with email notifications. They looked at me like I knew nothing and was a retard stating that they have been getting emails the system works go home till you get the email. I visited again the next month now we are in March and Seth said he looked at his eforms and it was still not approved. At this point I contacted the ATF myself. Took 5 emails but I got an update from them and they stated the form was approved on 2/3/26. So not only did this shop not have a clue of the current impact of issues the ATF had going on for form emails but they directly lies and waisted my time but I as the client had to go to the ATF and do the dealers job for them. I should have know when i was told one person that works their part time does all the NFA there would be issues. I have 50 plus NFA items and will not be back to this shop.

If you're a bow hunting enthusiast, this is the place you need to go. I've been to many bow shops,…read moreand I have never seen one so well-equipped. If you're looking for shop with folks (Jimmy) that know what they're doing, and are interested in helping you get a bow that'll fit you best, you must visit this place. They have a 20 yard range in the shop for you to try out your bow before you take it home. I wish I lived closer, so I could go there more and not just for bow hunting. Tremendous clothing line set up and other general merchandise. A really cool place. I drove 4.5 hours to get there.... It was worth it!

When you pull up in the lot, you would never expect to find such an eclectic mix of merchandise on the inside. The store has an incredibly large showroom of furniture - everything from recliners, to sofas to bedroom sets. The other big selling items are work wear, hunting gear, archery supplies, hardware and tons of PVC pipes. The archery shop manager is actually a trained archery coach who can give you lessons. We shopped around for bedroom furniture and found a great set by a famous brand which we ordered; if it's not in the store there are tons of catalogues to order from. Professional and courteous delivery and set up were included in the price. Oh and if someone tries to put an apple on your head while you're there, don't let them!!

Located right across the parking lot from Wal-Mart with a second location in the Cleveland Mall. When I had trouble finding a child's specific size soccer ball at Wal-Mart (they were out of stock and unreplenished = typical Wal-Mart), I found a snazzy fluorescent Nike one at a decent price at Hibbet. Sneakers, cleats, sporting goods, athletic clothes.Nice displays.Friendly, helpful associates.

They have quality outdoor goods and camping/hiking supplies, as well as fun little trinkets and gag gifts that'll give anyone a good laugh. They had a very wide variety of locally made goods as well including candles, jewelry, pottery, and other housewares. All were well made and beautiful pieces that were unique to the area. There is also an ice cream case, a variety of classic sodas and other small snack items. The employees were very friendly, too. If I'm ever near Shelby again, I will definitely stop by!
