This store would not honor my NY state issued paper temporary drivers license as a form of Id to…read morelook at a knife. The representative argued with me about NY state procedure of giving and reclaiming IDs saying " I've been getting driver's licenses in the state of NY for 40 years and they never took my old ID when I got a new one" I replied by asking " so in that 40 years did you ever renew a out of state license from Texas to NY?!" He quickly stood down but by that time I was done arguing NY state law and left. I will never buy a knife gun or amp from this store again!

GET A NEW GOLF SALES PERSON!!…read more I went into Riverhead to talk about a new set of golf clubs as I haven played for 5 years and really wanted to get back into the game. The lead sales person showed me a set of clubs and gave me a price. When I asked some questions - he clearly let me know that answering them was a waste of his time. I walked out - and you missed out on a sale. Horrible customer interaction.!

I was really happy to find out that there is an Eastern Mountain Sports in Connecticut. It was…read morereally popular some years ago when they had so many stores. Right now this is the only store in Connecticut, but one of the workers there told me that they're opening another one in Manchester, Connecticut. That's great! It's an awesome store. This store is right next to Bob's. One of the workers told me that the owner owns both stores. The Bob's side has the toilets. The workers are helpful. There's a good selection of outdoors stuff. You can become a member for free, and you get money back and coupons. There were already some Black Friday deals out. They had a sign that you can rent stuff too. Great store!

The interior is amazing with countless mounted wildlife and nature scenes. There are bears, deer, moose, ducks, etc etc...again you get the idea. This is reason enough to go see the amazing wildlife they have in the building. The staff was friendly and available if we needed them. Prices were reasonable and they had a clearance section which is always a plus. There was plenty to choose from and it is easy to get to and easy parking as well. Go for a nice ride down to beautiful Hope Valley and visit URE, you will feel like you are hundreds of miles away in some small town in Northern New England.... We will be going back. As a scouting family, I am sure we will grab some great items to go camping with in the near future.

We're in Westbrook a lot over the summer and had no idea they rented paddle boards and kayaks here…read more The water was so calm! My girls (9 and 12) were able to paddle board and kayak on their own. They never paddle boarded before but caught on quick. I used an inflatable paddle board at another location in CT but found the non-inflatables at Black Hall to be much easier to stand. The price is very reasonable here. I believe it was $40 per person for 2 hours on the paddle board. I was in the tandem kayak with my 9 year old. We were paddling out of sync at first but got into a nice rhythm in no time. Some bickering at first but all in good fun. 2 hours was plenty of time for us. They're also very friendly here! Paul mentioned that they are open pretty much all year round though you probably don't want to kayak or paddle board when the weather gets bad in the winter. The store sells a lot of fishing equipment and bait. We saw someone purchasing eels. Yikes! Restroom inside. Love this place.

Told them what my intended use was and the budget. I had checked around on their website before going in and had an idea of what I thought I wanted, but the gentleman who was assisting us suggested a different reel and rod setup based on what I had told him. Glad I listened to his advice, have been out a couple of times already and am very happy with the performance of the setup. The staff seems very knowledgeable and helpful, not to mention the shop has everything that you will need, great selection and options for every budget. Love the fact that it's a local shop as well, and not just another Dick's or Walmart.

Needed to return due to it…read morebeing the wrong color, found a new product and checked out within 10 minutes, we were the last people in the store. The manager, an older man possibly named bill but I don't recall his name, was standing with a younger man(the cashier). The manager looked completely out of it and couldn't be bothered. When it came to process the return the cashier didn't know how to do the return, he proceeded to turn to the manager and ask for help. The manager looked at me and said "you'll have to come back another day when someone who is working knows how to do this" This man wasn't a young new manager, he's been working there for a while. This wouldn't have been a problem but I live over an hour and a half away and can't just come back. The manager just wanted to go home and hurried us out the door. A man shows up after they shut the doors behind us and the manger perks up and tells the man they will stay open as long as that customer needed. Clearly two grown women aren't better than a grown man.
