I recently had an exceptional experience at this sporting goods and firearms store while purchasing six shotguns for a training class. The staff was incredibly knowledgeable and went above and beyond to make sure I received six identical firearms on time. When I encountered an issue with some accessories, they took the initiative to ensure I purchased the correct parts, conducting thorough research to provide me with the best recommendations that were both affordable and aligned with my needs. I cannot recommend this privately owned firearm shop highly enough--I won't be buying firearms anywhere else! read more

I was looking for the Marine Corps 250th Anniversary Rifle for my husband's 60th Birthday. I had purchased guns here before and had a great experience. Unfortunately the rifle would take a few months to get but Steve showed me the M1A and explained the history of it in the USMC. Steve went out of his way for me and I cannot wait to get more guns from him. Parker is also awesome as he guides you through the purchase process. When I came back to pick it up, Steve remembered me immediately and was amazing again! My husband and him hit it off and we already know what gun we are getting next. Garrett was a pleasure to work with as well. Always look forward to visiting this place. read more

We stopped by to inquire about licensing and the employees were very helpful and knowledgeable. They didn't mind answering all of our questions and also helped out tremendously with ammo and gun questions. They have a very nice selection of guns and everything you would ever need to go target shooting. Had a great time checking out all of their different items as they have a great selection to choose from. read more

And the targets were perfect for practicing read more

They been in business since 1991 and they are still giving great service with brilliant smiles.

Super helpful and easy to communicate with. Staff and owners are knowledgeable of firearms and accessories.

Love doing business with them! They have everything I needed. They don't have a huge variety but specific quality. Service was immaculate also great conversation about firearms! I'd say for a small place 10/10 for the win! Value is priceless! See you soon! read more

Last night I bought a handgun online. I selected BJ's because of their location. This morning I went there to discuss the transfer with then. They were rude, condescending, and arrogant. I walked out and would never set foot in their store again. read more

I was very impressed they were busy but they still took the time to acknowledge me and they took care of me as quickly as They could.

Garret was extremely helpful. Patiently answered all my questions. No doubt the best service thus far. The entire staff was helpful. Not one moment I felt rush and left with no help. read more

EXCELLENT customer service each and every time! We always try and shop here first for all of our outdoor needs.

These guys are top of the line in product and industry knowledge and in customer service. I love to support small businesses such as BJ Sporting Goods. I hope they stay in business forever! Highly recommend this place read more

BJ Sporting Goods, is more than just a store, it's a family oriented store. They treat you as a family member rather than a customer. They will go out of their way to keep you happy, meaning, if they don't have what you are looking for, they will order it for you. Now that's great customer service. Now that I found BJ's Sporting Goods, they have a customer for life. Very classy store run by a classy family!! Nick read more

Went in to take my firearms test. Basically brand new and they made it simple. Make sure you study for the test, bring the correct proof of residence, ID etc and you're good. Very helpful and personable. read more

What can be better than a local shop owned by a guy who grew up in town! BJ's is just that. Knowledgeable, caring and trustworthy. Yes, amazon offers everything, but spending locally is worth the investment. #shoplocal is def in effect here and totally worth it! read more

Garret was great! The guys super knowledgeable and helpful. I went to a few other places in town shopping prices and all, but here was in my opinion the best place by far. Definitely will be coming back for all my future needs read more

I've never had such a great time most places don't help but here they really care I hope they never stop as it's a great example of the way to be in life and how to treat others . read more

Garett and the other people that work here have knowledge in the firearms they sell, and provide excellent customer service, Also they have items that are cheaper than Wal Mart and Big 5! Also a varied selection in ammo and guns! read more

Went to look at some guns and came out with a lot of information, these guys know their stuff. Their prices were not bad either, we'll be back. read more

Went in for a private party transfer. I was transferring a gun to my friend and he was transferring his gun to me. Garrett and Levi extremely knowledgeable and helpful. They were fast with the paperwork. Had a minimal amount of firearms to choose from but considering the times, everyone is low on selection. I'll do business here again. Private Party Transfer was $35, I've found comparable or more expensive at other places but not cheaper than this. I'll come here again for business. read more

The owner is very polite and knows his stuff when it comes to fire arms, and when it comes to outdoor equipment he is knows what you need. He doesn't try to sell you junk but instead asks what are your want and what your intentions are, then tries to come up with a good idea of what you need. Ask about the gun ranges he knows good spots and is willing to make recommendations. Wonderful person and polite. read more

I often buy gift certificates for people at BJ's. I like to support local businesses, and I think the salespeople at BJ's are not only helpful (but not intrusively so)- they are knowledgeable and friendly too. I'm not sure it's too smart to have a large amount of firearms showing, because the bad-guy population in Hemet has soared in the past few years, and it would probably just be asking for trouble. Anything anyone needs can be special-ordered quickly, I'm sure. I think it takes a lot of gumption to maintain a small business in today's economy, and I don't care to pick on any brave businesspeople who are hanging in there and still making it--- I skip the chain stores when I can. read more

Great local place to shop! Took my FSC here. People are willing to help and are very knowledgable. Great suggestions on shooting ranges nearby. Inventory looked low when I was shopping but the owner assured me he could order the gun I wanted. read more

Very nice and knowledgeable people. Great communicate and customer service I recommend everyone should go here for all your needs

BEST. SERVICE. EVER!! I brought a young friend who needed a complete baseball setup and this was the closest place. Never been there before. One of the owners walked in from the parking lot behind us and immediately asked if he could help us find anything. I know nothing about baseball, so we told him the items we needed and he took us all around and helped pick out each item. He gave direction, encouragement, and advice, but was not the least bit pushy and did not try to sell us anything not on our list. What a nice, warm gentleman! We even explained we would be heading to Big 5 after to pick up a brand BJs does not carry, and he was as nice as can be. While at Big 5, we realized we needed a few more things, so back we went to BJs for the owner's expert advice on batting helmets. To boot, the place is family owned and the family has an interesting history, which they will share if you ask. Its been a long time since I have been treated so well at a retail establishment. If I ever need sporting goods again, I will make the drive from Riverside to Hemet, just to patronize this store. read more

Just pitiful. I was looking to purchase a firearm. I have lived in Hemet all my life and remember buying a lot of sporting goods and hunting and fishing equipment at BJ's when I was young. Unfortunately when I walked into the store recently to browse the gun selection. I was really disappointed to see that the rifle and shotgun racks were nearly empty! I mean like 5 guns in the racks. The handgun selection was even worse! like 3 new and 3 used handguns! In the whole store! Nobody greeted me or said a word as I entered the store. Not because it was overwhelmingly busy, I assure you. I could hear the crickets chirping it was so dead in there. After standing there for a minute without so much as a hello from anyone, I knew that I was going to be going to The Shootist in Murrieta to shop. Very very disappointing. By the looks of it, I would guess that BJ's is going the way of the dodo and will soon be extinct. read more

Until the present nationwide shortage of firearms and ammo, I was a regular customer of BJ's, which boasted a great selection of handguns and rifles. Excellent, knowledgable and friendly staff. Will be patronizing them again once the market gets back to a semblance of normalcy! read more

BJ Sporting Goods is a great place to get older scouting gear that the council stores no longer carry. The staff is helpful. They carry letterman jackets for the local high schools. read more
