Arms Merchant is a nice little gun shop located in Mandeville. They have a decent selection of…read morepistols and shotguns and a knowledgeable staff. This is also a convenient place to pick up ammo on your way to the range. Their prices on ammo are not as cheap as Academy, but they are reasonable. This is the only gun shop in the area so it is nice that it is a good one.

Clint at Lacombe Gunsmiths is great! Friendly, informative, knowledgable, good advice. He does good…read morework and his prices are affordable. He also has two wiener dogs patrolling the place. I had a bolt-action rifle with a stuck bolt and he got it working again in no time flat. I brought it in on Monday and had it back the next day. Of course, your mileage may vary depending on the work you want done. He diagnosed the problem - it wasn't the rifle, it was a batch of bad ammo. Along the way, he cleaned the chamber, cleaned up the bolt, test-fired it and did an overall inspection. His repair bill was less than his estimate too. Unlike that slowpoke, price-gougey "gunsmith" in Goodbee, Clint is an honest, straight-up old-time gunsmith. I highly recommend his services.

I wanted to sell some gold jewelry. I went to a local jeweler first. The owner checked and weighed…read moremy items at around 98 grams, then offered what he claimed was 72% of gold spot price. I thought his price a little low. I spoke with a chain pawn shop, but he only pays 1/2 spot price. Next I went to Coquille Coins. Gerald checked out my items and weighed them at 106.13 grams and offered 75% of spot. Big difference. He also purchased some coins and sterling silver, even though the refineries aren't buying right now. Gerald informed me that smelters charge a percentage to refine the shops gold. Stores have overhead (rent, lights, insurances etc.) He has to be licensed (fees). Something most people don't know, buyers have to hold all items they buy for 30 days, in case items are stolen. I understand why gold buyers need to make roughly 25% profit. He is taking a chance that gold prices crash (like crypto is today) before he can sell the gold he bought from me. Thank you Gerald for being honest and fair. I wish you much success in the future!

I am not a mad person, but he somehow hit that nerve repeatedly. I purchased my bowtech carbon rose from here, with military discount. I even got the discount on my arrows. I really appreciated that! They allowed me to bring my 85lbs Doberman in while I shot, which was very much appreciated as well. I work all day, and the time I am able to spend with my dog is precious. Overall this place is good besides that man who gets to me.

Very helpful and knowledgeable brothers keeping the old and new archery traditions alive in the…read moreDell! If you are SERIOUS about archery; wanting to learn, need specialized accessories or needing a bow or need help with your bow, this is where you will go. Don't go to a sporting goods store filled with people who have acquired a general knowledge of archery at best. Ken and his brother, Lee, have YEARS of experience and specialized knowledge of archery, modern AND traditional. They can hook you up with a modern compound bow and they're not afraid to teach you how to use it, either. In fact, they have a small indoor range to show you how to shoot your new bow. They also dabble in more traditional archery and if you bring them a "stickbow", they can really help you out with anything you might need, and point out things that might be of concern on older bows. I've bought several bows from ebay in the past and brought them in to get strings and have them checked out and these guys made the string I need in the store while I waited and the friendly talk made it all worth the while. They'll be able to help you out, too. They also sell firearms, by the way! And for a small fee, they'll do transfers for you with a smile. Ken can get a little testy and grouchy sometimes, but don't let that turn you away. That's just his vast experience and wisdom on archery, firearms and hunting just wanting to jump out and help you with whatever you need. Ken WILL do what he can to help you out and he WILL let you know when you're wrong or full of crap and need to be educated. Lol. Thank him for that. Lee is much more mild mannered and friendly, and just as knowledgeable, and both of these guys are always happy to shoot the shit with customers if they aren't busy with other customers. In fact, I'm sorry to say that it's been years since I've stopped in there to say hello. I guess I kind of traded that hobby for another, but if I EVER need anything when I get back into archery or firearms, there's only one place to go. If you need help with ANYTHING regarding hunting, archery, firearms or subjects of that nature, don't waste your time anywhere else and don't be afraid to ask these guys. You're not gonna get any better advice anywhere around here.
