His staff was absolutely the most team oriented group with all providing help and no one trying to be superhero know-it-all which happens way too often. Their prices can't be beat, and speaking from personal experience , it is a great escape from the drama of having horses and/or dogs in surgery at the best Vet Hospital in the world (totally unbiased as I am 3rd generation Longhorn). Go enjoy the low pressure, high intellect of this great store!

I ventured into Bear Mountain right after the holidays to get properly fitted for hiking boots…read morebefore an overseas backpacking trip. I've done a bit of day hiking before, but never been professionally fitted or been on multi-day trips. I wasn't sure what to expect, but I could not have been more pleased. The staff was very friendly and knowledgable. The guy who helped me spent a lot of time answering questions and helping me be sure I got the best fit- and I ended up with a less expensive boot than I expected (which never happens). They had really good sales at that time, and I ended up coming back the next day to get a new pack. On the following day, I found an equally friendly and knowledgable staff. A friendly staff even after the holidays is the sign of a good shop, I think. Anyway, If you are looking for hiking, camping, or kayaking gear- start here.

Shop is filled with firearms and accessories with affordable prices. I'd like to see package deals such as multiple mags and a bag for an affordable, but they don't. Staff stated that they do have a firearm with attachments, but nothing like a package deal during a holiday. Ample parking.

This is without a doubt one of the top 3 gun shops I've ever been to.

The selection? Great. They actually have rifles out where you can handle them. Imagine that! Their handgun selection and their used gun selections are very good. They also carry a nice selection of black powder revolvers, something a lot of similar shops have given up on. If you want something they don't have, they'll get it for you. The price will be competitive. Don't ignore this place, or skip it "because all gun shops are alike." They're not. This one stands out among the others in the area. I highly recommend it.

I found this business during a Google search, and after reading a few reviews, decided to purchase through them. Using the chat feature on their website I spoke with Neil and told him what I needed. He immediately knew and gave me the numbers to enter into the search bar. 5 minutes later my parts were in my cart and 3 days later they were sitting at my house in NM. The parts I ordered were exactly as advertised, brand new, and fit perfectly. I was able to upgrade my firearm for over $100 less than anything else I found on the net. My experience with this company was par excellence. If you are looking for optics, firearms, replacement parts, or gear, you'll do yourself disservice by not checking out Heart of Texas Armory.
