Love this place, I get my hunting license here every year.

IME, it is best to get work done after the hunting rush. Wait times get worse the closer you get to fall. Apr through Jul is usually best. I had a pistol Cajunized in the busy season and it took a little over a month. I took one in during mid-Spring, dropped it off at 11, and had it done same day by 4:30. The DA/SA are so much lighter and crisper. I have Cajunized one myself, so I know what is involved. It is surprisingly hard to find gunsmiths with experience Cajunizing, or with CZs in general. I guess it makes sense, they are far less common than Glocks, M&Ps, etc. I have had smiths tell me they do not work on CZs, or they say "we can do that, we'll figure it out," which is not comforting. Each time I came in, the associate at the counter brought me to talk to a gunsmith. He knew the order the parts go back in, that some jobs like the mag release are easier when everything is already apart, and that you have to remove the front sight pin to replace the barrel bushing. The sear cage is a nightmare to get back together, so I'm happy to outsource it. It's clear they do a bunch of them here, so it takes less time than me installing it or a smith doing it for the first time.

Great Academy location…read more Everything is decently priced and they have quite a range of products. A friend of mine got an exercise machine for under $200 dollars, which I thought was pretty good. They even moved it out to the truck (in the pouring rain no less.) One of the big things they have going for them is their firearm prices. For a retail store they have a decent selection with prices to match. Ammunition is also priced well. They don't have much for high end survival/camping/hunting gear but it is a retail department store, so for what it is, you have to love it. Well stocked and plenty of staff to assist, I would come here over Cabela's 11 times out of 10!

I noticed they had a brand called Freely with a BOGO sale. I grabbed a few bras in addition to other clothing. A young man checked us out and when I asked if they bras were BOGO, he replied "I dunno.

Also, this location rarely has baskets You have to grab one from the parking lot. Looking for the one they are building closer to us. Maybe location will make a difference.

Everyone here is always so professional and willing to help you even remembering me when I come in and saying hello to me. And I live all the way in San Antonio but I always make it a point on my way to Austin Dallas aware of her to stop here right quick and run and grab the newest stuff. And that's what I really like there always seems to be a new set of clothes coming in every month they keep me buying more and more I now have quite an extensive collection things to them. But the prices along with the coupons and the special discounts for students make the whole buying experience very pleasurable and extremely equitable. I would suggest coming here before you try Academy or Dick's and save lots and lots of money.

"Fly Shop" is what the sign read! My car, knowing me, turned right in to the small parking lot…read more I'm in love again; my heart spoke, another fantastic fly fishing shop! I had come down this way to a Trout Unlimited class that was fantastic. Fly Shop is in the little city of Canyon Lake, Texas north by north east of downtown San Antonio Texas. And the Fly Shop is just minutes from the down stream side of the dam of Canyon Lake. The water flows from the bottom side of the dam, so the next ten to twelve miles the water is cold enough to keep trout alive. A good temperature for the water is around fifty to fifty five degrees at the highest for the trout to stay alive. The Texas Parks and wildlife department and Trout Unlimited stock this part of the Guadalupe River every winter. The Guadalupe River is listed as one of the top 100 trout streams in America. It is also the southern most trout streams in the US. The bag limit is one trout over 18" a day and must be caught on an artificial lure. The average Guadalupe trout will be from 12' to 14" range. Trout over 20" are not uncommon; trout over 5 to 8 pounds have been caught over the years. Now there is some data just to wet your whistle. Are you in the mood to catch some trout now? If so let's head back to the Fly Shop. Back to the "Fly Shop," now we know it's at a great location, but peek inside and you will think you've going to fly fishing heaven. They have a large amount of great gear here. Great brands and high quality items can be found right inside. The rods are top of the line, great fly lines, and flies of great details! Fly fishing clothes and waders are nice as well as affordable here. Spend a little time with the staff and they can help you get fitted right up. The day I went in sweet Kayla was in the shop. She was manning the place at the time while the owners and guides were out guiding some clients. She was extremely knowledgeable and helpful! She was able to tell me in detail what flies, types, sizes and colors I should go with at that time. (It is very helpful if you're new to an area.) She told me what size tippet and leader to go with as well. We chatted a little about the river conditions, then about the store. She then offered me a small draft beer that the owner had on tap in the store. Name of the beer was "Trout Slayer" wheat ale from Missoula Montana, a very tasty beer! Thank you dear owner for having brought that in to the store and thank you sweet Kayla! What great customer service!
