The orders are fulfilled and ready for pickup prior to the estimated date when ordered. The hunting department staff are the most professional, friendly, experienced, and helpful individuals in the vast majority of retail businesses.

I would really like to send a special thanks to a young man named Ben, who takes the time to make sure all of my optics are mounted exactly to my preferences.

Keep in mind my fiance doesn't know much about the mechanics of the firearm, this is why we picked this pistol to get her started. This clerk starts asking her to rack the slide, drop the magazine, what type of bullet does the pistol use, how many rounds does it hold, who makes the firearm? She answers most of his questions and handled the firearm responsibility but he told her it was a "red flag" because she didnt know all the questions he asked and he personally thinks she is buying the gun for me!! Then tells her this isn't a "starter pistol"!! I ask what is a starter pistol? And ask for a manager, he states he is the manger! Then a lady i have worked with before says she is the manager!! I have helped all my daughters and other friends and family buy firearms and get trained. This experience ruined my fiance experience buying her first firearm. Needless to say I won't EVER buy here again..

I realize it is somewhat juvenile of me to laugh at the name, but I can't help it. I also can't…read morehelp but be impressed by this new sporting goods store that just opened in Slidell. Located in the brand new Fremaux Town Center, this store appeals to my inner dude like only a sporting goods store can. Since I am an equal opportunity reviewer, I will first focus on the section of the store geared towards females: they have women's clothing. Now that we have that out of the way, on to my review. Hunting I was pretty sad when I realized Dick's doesn't sell handguns. There are few activities more badass and manly than perusing a fine selection of handguns. What they did have, however, was a giant selection of rifles and shotguns. There was no one working in that area so I couldn't fondle any, but the prices looked fairly reasonable, especially on some of the .22 rifles. If hunting birds or large animals is more your style, they also had higher caliber rifles and shotguns. As with most stores, shotgun ammo was available on the shelves with pistol and rifle ammo behind the counter. From what I could see, it looked like they had a good supply of most home defense and target ammo for somewhat reasonable prices. Even the .223 was decently priced (for 2014). In addition to the firearms, there was a large archery section, including what looked like an archery range. There was also a good selection of knives, machetes and even a tomahawk. If you are looking for survival gear, they have what you need. Camping The camping selection here was first rate. In addition to the tents, sleeping bags and camp stoves, they had an excellent selection of backpacking food. Anyone who has been backpacking will tell you that the lighter your pack, the easier your hike. Dick's had a large amount of freeze dried items which would taste funny, but definitely save weight. They even had astronaut ice cream which I must purchase whenever I find it. Don't ask me why, but I think that stuff is super cool. This section is also where I found a new folding chair. I am not sure of the official name, but it's one of those chairs that folds and stores in a bag. I am sure you've seen them at the beach, kids soccer games and Mardi Gras Parades. Well, for only $30, I got a brand new chair in stylish realtree camouflage. No longer will I be at the beach in a plain blue chair. Hell yes! The aforementioned sections are where I spent the majority of my time, but the store had plenty more to offer. I saw shoes, sports equipment, fishing gear, etc. It really is a one stop shop. The staff I encountered on the floor were helpful and friendly. My only complaint involves the checkout process. I am not sure if it was because the store is new, but checkout was painfully slow. Despite having three cashiers working the wait was far too long. Other than that, I loved the place. If you are in the Slidell area and like dude type things, check out Dick's. See, that is hilarious.

In terms of selection, this location offers all the top brands and sellers. However, this location does not offer as wide of a selection as other Foot Locker stores. I'd say the selection is about average for a Foot Locker, but nothing above that. Ultimately, it doesn't matter how big or small the selection is.. shoe shopping is all about taking the time to find what you like, even if it means going to a dozen stores and going back to half of them. The service here is really nice and the staff is always willing to help out. I'd say the service is a bit above average overall, which is a very good thing. Overall, I'd recommend this location to anybody who's looking to get a new pair of shoes. If you don't find what you're looking for, there are always other places in the area to look.
