Just don't expect the range to be open daily irregardless what the website says. Seems like they don't have enough people, even though with an empty store and a number of employees wiping down counters they don't have anyone to man the range. read more

I've only been to this place hand full of times. Looking for AR parts, looking at guns..... most of the times the service is CRAPPY!! Guys behind counter. can't just be me because wife notices it also I go in there for firearms related thing not the pawnshop ...... Owell I know just me saying this won't hurt your business but good luck. I'll have to go into Phx for firearm related things #47 read more

I received one on one gun training at this facility. My instructor was experienced and professional. I will be using the shooting range often to make sure I'm on top of my game if things go to sh!t. read more

Pawn shop on White Mountain in the Pinetop-Lakeside area. It's a large building with a huge parking lot. The store has a good inventory of musical instruments, cameras, outdoor equipment and they even have a couple boats and some outboard motors. They also ha d a smattering of other things. If you want what they have, there is a decent selection. We were looking at the boats and didn't see anything we were wanted. The store was clean and people nice (thoughI didn't need help as we just did a quick walk through. read more

My shipper in Guam has been trying to ship my 4 guns from Guam for 2 months now. The store will not return their emails, answer their phone calls, or even respond in any way. I have gone in to the store on 4 occasions, wondering why my guns did not arrive. I finally figured out these guys just want to make the big bucks. I noticed it when I heard them offer bubkis to a girl for an almost new Apple Watch. They don't really want to do transfers. It is a shame, as a collector of "pretty" guns I expect I will ship in 6-10 guns this year, and buy 2-3 high end guns as well. I find one dealer and we work together, looks like that is going to be Sharpshooters, a 5.0 star reviewed store. read more

Great inventory and knowledgeable staff. We worked with Emily, who is amazing. We're first time gun buyers and Emily took the time to go through options and answer questions. She is super cool and knows her shit. The place is awesome and doesn't have that "pawn store" feel. It really feels like a small town store with better prices than the city (from Phoenix) and a much, much more available and knowledgeable staff. We did get a Brady hold from ATF but John explained next steps and laid out the options. Just like Emily, John knows his shit and is awesome to work with. Pinetop is cute but The Hub is the reason we're coming back. Excited to to practice at the range soon! read more

Great place to buy or shoot. Very friendly. Great selection. First place I look for shooting supplies. From reloading to shooting they have a great selection read more

I'm kind of hard to impress, but this place does it. It's for a great indoor shooting range, lots of rifles, handguns and shotguns to choose from. Staff are friendly, all of them. It's a clean place with good attitudes. Plenty of ammo for me to choose from. I'll keep coming back. read more

Visiting from out of town with another couple who have never shot before. Wanted to treat them to a safety gun course and shooting lesson. Called on Thursday afternoon and Paul was able to get us in the following morning for a private class. Paul was very professional, yet fun, and an amazing shooting instructor. We had a blast and learned so much about firearms and safety! read more

We were on vacation in Pinetop and had a great time shooting our newest handguns. The range is well kept and there are plenty of items to purchase there as well. Paul was great to talk with and even provided a little guidance for future shooting. Up front, the guys were all helpful and we found a couple of good deals in the consignment shop. Of course, t-shirts were in order! We'll be back! read more

These guys are great. Customer service is top notch and they love what they do. Very knowledgeable. I walked in looking for a holster and ended up getting 2 rifles scopes mounted and sighted. Highly recommend. I hope to use the range soon. read more

I went to the Hub for the CCW Class! The Instructor Paul was great! Paul was very knowledgeable on everything! He made taking the class fun! I would recommend the Hub to my family and friends! Thanks Paul! read more

Bought a gun online from them on Gun Broker. After buying they never contacted me for 5 days! They didn't respond to emails or voicemails! Once they did it was about demanding sellers fees after I bought another gun from another seller?! Then they reported me to Gun Broker prompting a 90 day suspension without my input. ONLINE BUYER BEWARE!!! Check out their message to Gun Broker, they never mentioned their disappearance! read more

Stopped in this week for my first time. Im a new resident in Show Low and was excited to check out the local shop. Its huge from the outside and the inside holds up to that too. I love the pawn shop/gun shop/tool shop vibe! They are sort of like a mans man kind of shop! I loved the variety. I was looking for a magazine for a 1911 Kimber in 9mm. I wasnt expecting much of a selection to be honest but I was wrong. They had 3 different brands/models. One of the younger employees gladly walked me over and we started comparing and talking quality and what not. He left me be and I kept browsing. Finally I made my decision and they opened the product and helped me make sure it would work! I was real happy with the way I was treated, no joke. They said go check out the gun range and man they have a lot of rentals there! Cant wait to shoot some of em! Gun prices were about right on based on what Ive seen in store and online. Tons of accessories and optics too! Love it. read more

Just had my first handgun 101 class. They have a new instructor and he did an amazing job. I feel confident in buying my first handgun and being able to handle it safely and accurately. I would recommend using the hub for all handgun classes. Looking forward to my next class. read more

They were rude we got there five minutes till looking to buy something back and they had already locked the doors we were about to leave but we seen a lady go to the door and someone from the inside unlocked it for her and then she turned us away and was very rude about it read more

Dave Wilson is an instructor there and taught my daughter for the intro class and then instructed her on the range. Really good guy. Patient, calm, and knowledgeable, he put her at ease and did a great job. He even modified his schedule to accommodate ours. Kudos to Dave and glad we found him, he did well. I have heard great things about Paul Parks as well but he was not in on this weekend. read more

Great indoor range facilities up to 25 yards away for targets. Remember though you must bring lead free ammunition to use otherwise you'll have to buy their ammunition which is reasonably priced. read more

Took the whole family for a private gun training and safety class with Paul Parks. Paul was great was us and the girls and most importantly emphasized gun safety with our teenage girls. Then he was patient with us on the range and very encouraging. We feel so much more comfortable now and will hopefully see him again for more instruction. read more

My wife and I took gun safety 101 from Paul Parks and it was fabulous. He was very thorough and taught us all the basics then took us to the range to teach us how to use pistols and revolvers. I would highly recommend him and his class! Excellent! read more

Stopped by the store 5/21/16 to see what they had and found the staff friendly and helpful. Went into the shooting range area to check out their range and was approached by R/O Casey who was helpful in explaining their range and rules. Bought a few small items and left. Had a positive experience with everyone there. Would return for sure... Tony read more

As a regular customer, I get treated well. There are other gunshops in the area, but none as well stocked nor as well priced as the Hub. The only reason to go elsewhere is if you received a giftcard. Treat the staff with respect and it'll come back to you ten fold. I've always loved the saying, "if you meet a jackass before breakfast, you met a jackass. If you meet six jackasses before lunch, you're the jackass." Many of the negative reviews here may indicate from where the issue(s) originate. I've seen plenty of jackassery in the Hub, none of which was originated by the staff, but perhaps reciprocated in kind. I go there often and will continue. read more

A great place to get ammunition and sporting goods. Friendly staff very helpful for your needs.

I have been a frequent customer of the Hub from opening day and even before that at the previous location in Showlow. I can honestly say that I have never been treated bad or felt like I paid too much. Frank Russell has kinda become my sales guy there and over the years I can consider him a friend. From purchasing firearms, stereos, tools and bikes and many other categories that they offer I have always felt like I was getting a fair end of the deal. My latest commitment was the SIG MAX on the LAYAWAY plan that they offer. The only downside is the amount of time I spend looking at pictures online of it and waiting for the day I can take it and use it in their amazing indoor range. Big Shout out to the guys and gals at the HUB. Keep up the great work!!!! read more

I just wanted to say something about The Hub. I had a very positive experience with the pawn dept. I was told over the phone that I could send a rifle thru their pawn dept. when I got there I was told different. That is when I met Frank. Instead of turning me away he elected to help me any way. It all turned out just fine. So needless to say I will always do business with Frank at the Hub. read more

I love this place! The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful and there is always something awesome to find there. I have used the pawn services and they are wonderful to deal with, very understanding and they really want to help you get your items back. I have made purchases from here also and, the one time something went wrong, they made it right immediately. The Hub will always have my business! read more

I have been a customer at the HUB in Pinetop-Lakeside for the past 6 years. Michael and the guys have always been extremely helpful. Over the past 2 years or so I've asked Michael several times to get me a specific firearm, and he never lets me down. I wanted to say thanks again Michael for the new purchase...the smile on my face is priceless! read more

Stopped in while I was visiting the area from Phoenix. They have a great selection of firearms. The staff is friendly and answered all my questions. Almost bought a gun but changed my mind last minute. That's the only reason I didn't give them 5 stars is I don't know what the purchasing process is like there. Would definitely stop in again when i am in town. read more

My review is based on a gun safety/self defense basic class for ladies that I took last month at the urging of a girlfriend who wanted me to take this class with her. The NRA instructor, Bruce Owen, was VERY impressive - highly knowledgeable, competent, engaging, very personable, and patient with all questions. The experience was enjoyable, as well as very valuable and informative, and I would even consider re-taking the class as a refresher, because so much information was covered. Other staff working in the range area with the instructor, including a young man named Andrew, also were attentive and helpful with questions, sign in, etc. Hopefully more related class offerings will be made available.

I have been doing business with The Hub for a number of years now and I can honestly say that they are one of the best businesses on the mountain! The staff is always friendly and willing to go above and beyond for their customers. I have made several purchases and used the pawn service on numerous occasions and I have always been treated with respect and professionalism. They even have a gun cleaning service which is great for me because I can never get my Glock broken down. I love this place and all of its staff!! I wish I could give 10 stars! read more

Having to pawn something is bad enough but when it has sentimental value it's even worse but we all know such as life we come into hard times where we have to do what we have to do. In saying that I myself have run into those times and had to pawn a few different items one in particular that means the world to me. These amazing people not only gave me top dollar for the item I took in but when I fell on even harder times and the day came to pick it up or lose it they worked with me and then some. The amount of respect and appreciation I have for these people is off the charts and you better believe they are stuck with me I wouldn't take my business anywhere else. And a special thank you goes out to the Franks you guys are the best never a dull moment with you two and to the owner's wife (whose name I did not catch because I was a hot mess when I called in) you seriously made my day you have no idea how big of a deal it is to me that you helped me out the way you did. I truly appreciate it more than you'll ever know! You have an amazing establishment and I tell anyone and everyone to go to you guys before they go to anyone else for numerous different reasons. And thank you to the rest of the staff as well keep doing what you're doing you guys are all truly the best! read more

This business is the worst! The owner,( Mike) has zero integrity or customer appreciation. Yesterday I called to check on ammunition. I was told that they had it in stock & that they have a limit of 2 boxes per customer per day. I went in & purchased 2 boxes, as did my fiend. After making the purchase, the short hefty dark hard young man asked if we lived in the same household. We said no & asked why. He said the limit now was 2 boxes per household per day. We again stated that we did not live in the same house hold. This morning we went back & stood at the counter being totally ignored for about 10 minutes after which another employee came to help us. The arrogant dark haired employee then said that they changed the policy to 2 boxes per week. When I called to speak with Mike (owner) I was treated very rudely. He said he des not sell to he "Flat Landers" ( people from either Phoenix or Tucson), I told him I live up here & he had nothing more to say. I'm not sure if it is because I am a woman or if he is just a jerk, either way he will never see another penny of my money & I am spreading the word, DON'T PATRONIZE THIS BUSINESS!! read more

I called about some shells and was told by an employee the limit was 2 boxes a day. I purchased 2 boxes that day. The employee was very rude and kept saying it is all about integraity. I left and went back the next day only to be ignored by the employee from the first visit for about 10 minutes. Another employee came over and asked if I needed help, I told him I needed 2 boxes of ammo. The employee from the previous day then told the gentleman no and that they had now changed their policy to 2 boxes a week. I then left the store. I called the store to speak to one of the managers Mike. I was explaining to him what had taken place and he explained that they had made that decision this morning and also stated we do NOT sell to flatlanders from Phoenix or Tucson and was very rude also. I expained that I am a resident of the mountain and that as long as I have the cash to pay it should not matter where I am from. I will not go back to this store as they have no INTEGRAITY what so ever. I will go to the Sierra Blanca Shooting Sports LLC from now on as I went to their place after I had my conversation with one of the owners of the Pawn Place and the gentleman at Sierra Blanca Shooting and Sports was teriffic, polite and very professional unlike the personnel at The Pawn Place -The Hub """ I WOULD NOT GIVE THIS PLACE ANY STARS but could not summit my review without giving 1 star""". read more
