The selection is good on long guns but they are often higher than other gun shops. The ammo is…read morealways lean and overpriced. I come in a few times a year hoping to make a purchase but even if they have what I want at a price I feel is fair they often lose the sale because the staff is kind of rude unless you're a local buddy and often treat you like you're interrupting their coffee break. It is common to see them sitting around, half working while carrying on long personal conversations with their friends who seem to hang out in the store. Ask for assistance and they will do the bare minimum to help you out. Of the dozen times I have come in I have always struggled to get anyone to assist me and when I ask they treat me with contempt, giving one-syllable answers and acting like they can't wait for me to leave. So I did leave and made a purchase somewhere else. I was in the store for 40 minutes this last time and no one approached me or asked if I needed anything. Some people like that and I was ok with the inattention too. It should have been clear I was comparing a couple of rifles and I kept looking around for help to make a sale but no one bothered to approach me. They should have been in tune enough to see I was looking at details enough that I had a real interest. When I went to the counter (once again I had to stand there awhile as the guy working was chatting up some guy who had been standing there talking since I came in and not about guns). Once I got a chance to ask for some service it was clear I was an interloper and not really welcome. I had a few questions to focus on my intended purchase but could not get complete sentences out of the guy who one minute early could not stop talking with his buddy. I don't know if this was Steve or if there is a Steve but this place could really use some customer service training. I ended up leaving, driving down Main St, to another gun shop, and making a purchase from them. They did bother to answer my questions, demonstrated the features of the product, and then up-sold me on a better rifle that costs more than I had intended to spend because they took the time to explain the features and benefits of the better option. Once again Steve lost another sale to me and any follow-up sales as I start accessorizing this rifle. As others have said in their reviews, the store has a great selection and lots of hard-to-find add-ons. But poor customer service.

We've been looking for an upgrade for my wife's kayak for a while. I remembered them being here and…read moregiving us a chance to spend the money with a local shop. I went in by myself the first time to see what they had. The kayaks were nice and the prices were average but the woman manager was remarkably rude. My wife and I went back together on Mother's Day to let her pick one out. The same lady manager was overtly rude again. She then argued with me that she did NOT have the kayak I had just seen there a day earlier. So I got a different associate to go get it and I bought it. I am a life long "outdoorsman". Typically people working in the outdoor specialty industry are positive, active, people looking forward to interacting with like minded people. I am part of the 50ish year old still very active outdoors crowd that finally has good money to spend on gear for play. I will try to tell anyone listening to go somewhere else. The rudeness and lack of professionalism is NOT off-set by competitive pricing. Won't be back

Although this is a smaller shop, it's more focused and less like a menu that tries to offer everything. They seem more focused and edited or curated in their offerings. They offer gunsmithing as many gun shops do, however, I felt they were more attentive and helpful as they engaged with me to see what I really needed. They do not have aisle after aisle of ammo like some big gun stores or big chains do. They are still very competitive and always have what I need in stock. I would rather buy from them than a big retailer or online because after shipping costs often the online deals are no deal at all. I find their prices are always fair and often lower than bigger stores for the same items. I have made several purchases here and hope to do more to support this local business that seems to still remember that service matters. I also appreciate they are not pushy, sort of let you browse, and are not arrogant like many gun store staff who look down on you if you're not an expert or their local buddies. That kind of treatment drives people away from learning and becoming gun owners and long-term customers. When I have questions they are always helpful and accommodating and don't try and make me feel dumb, ignore me, or treat me like an outsider as the shop down the street near the freeway always does.

Sometimes the prices are a little higher on regular priced items than online but I don't mind that becuase some things you need to touch and feel before puchasing.

To my disappointment, the two smaller cannisters had price tags on them, but the largest cannister did not. Not a single one of the 12 largest cannisters were priced. Then I stopped to look at an Infrared heater. Again, no price on the box. Found another area with the same Infrared heaters, and again, no pricing found. It's pretty ridiculous when stores put items on the shelf but without any pricing of the items to be found. If you'd like me to spend my money with you, please have the items appropriately priced, so I don't have to walk all the way up to the counter, wait for your current customers to be waited on, and then walk BACK theu your store to the items themselves to do my purchase price comparisons and make purchasing decisions. I probably won't be back because if you won't price it when you place it on the shelf, then I'm not going to hunt you down to spend my hard earned cash worth you. Next time, I will mail order the item rather than waste MY precious time.
