Academy Sports

An employee said they don't have any plans to carry black powder or caps, that's a bummer.

I've shopped online at Academy but never in a store. How does it compare to Dunhams?

I occasionally stop when passing the Columbus Dunhams thinking I'll find a deal. Usually ends in frustration! I did find out they will price match any gun though if you can show its legit cheaper somewhere else.

Went into the new one in Jeffersonville for first time couple weeks ago. Have ordered online before but first time in an actual store. Pretty nice, I didn't think prices were to bad. I did meet an idiot behind the gun counter. They had one of the Glock 17 Gen 1 remakes in stock. I commented about it and his only reply was " I hate Glocks they feel like a board in my hand". I wanted to tell him I really don't give a S!@# what you think but quietly moved on. Other then that guy it was good visit I'll go back again.

Bass pro is more expensive than anyone, but I do agree about academy prices being cheaper than a lot of places. If you do have gift cards, etc to bass pro and have to go there, I have had them price match on several things in the past. They would do any brick store within 100 miles. Just fyi

What proof do you have to bring to get price matching at Bass Pro?

I agree. Store employees shouldn't talk down their products to prospective buyers, even in this case where he was right!

I just pulled up their price online and showed them. Last time was on a s&w m&p shield 2.0 that they ended up taking almost $100 off on. They said they had to sell it to me for $0.01 more than academy price because that was somehow at bass pro's cost. Wasn't a big deal to me. Here's a link to where they match... https://www.basspro.com/shop/en/pricematch

Thanks for posting this. I didn't know they would price match. I have a gift card for Bass Pro from Christmas that I haven't used yet because everything I am interested in is cheaper at the local Rural King and/or Academy Sports. I'll have to try the price matching.

Things are coming along. I'm excited for this place to open. Looked like they were hosting a hiring/interview event in the parking lot today.

Id rather have an employee tell me their dislikes of a product, rather than tell me its the best thing ever and is capable of stuff it isnt.

Is this the new store in Westfield located in the old Marsh store?

The store is coming along. Apparently they had to do a major repair on the ceiling of this old Marsh building.
The store does not allow you to carry unfortunately, but they will sell you guns and ammo.

I'm trying to remember if I ever saw any kind of sign that I ignored when going into the Academy store in TH. Don't recall one, but then I don't make it a habit to pay that much attention.

I do like the sign at Top Guns in TH and have noticed it.

I have carried in the Jeffersonville store several times, but like you I haven't really looked to see if they have any signs.

I did as well. I didn’t notice any signs either.

I think I have run across the salesman you mentioned above too.

I can't remember what he looked like. I just remember hearing
one of the guys at the counter telling another customer how he didn't like the feel of Glocks.
