    The local Dick's has left. No support from the no hunting hoard that didn't want guns. Academy is opening in the same spot. They appear to supply the hunting and shooting community.

    Dicks seems to have gravitated toward selling shoes. I guess more profit for them.

    The web site is confusing, might stop one time when it opens.

    They’re a good store in my experience- guns,ammunition, deer corn and footwear at good prices.

    Interesting ...Academy sells the Ruger Ranch Rifle but that is the only .223 on the website.

    I'm a fan of Academy. Their prices on guns and ammo are at or slightly below most.
    They're the only ones close by that have had primers in stock recently.
    They are also the only one close that carries B&B charcoal, which is far superior to Kingsford.

    Our local Dick's gave up on selling firearms and ammo, then everything else that would suggest hunting. Haven't been into their store since then.

    I bought 1K LPP from Academy in 2019. Great price and they had them in stock. I am a fan.

    I picked ip a pound of Titegroup there for $31 a few weeks ago. I haven’t seen that price anywhere since. They don’t have a lot of gun related items, but what they do have is at decent prices. Maybe someday they’ll have a 4lb jug of HS-6…

    Few reloading supplies here, but good or better than most on ammo and prices. They have some specials on ammo occasionally too. Fishing equipment,tackle, etc very well stocked and cheaper than Bass Pro. Their website stinks though.

    No problems here with Academy Sports. I have shopped there at times. You can find some good stuff there at decent prices. We bought some studio chairs we use outside on sale cheaper than we could find them anywhere else.

    Academy is owned by a not supportive person https://noblegoldinvestments.com/geo...ned-companies/ very sad.

    The Academy close to me has the worst check out lines I’ve ever seen. Several times I’ve picked up items to buy and finally after 15 minutes or more of waiting in line put the item back. A friend of mine said he and his wife had to wait 30 minutes in line to get checked out the other day. Maybe it’s just this one store.

    I think it is corporate policy for DICKS to not sell firearms or shooting components/ammunition. I do think they sell air rifles but nothing high-end.
