It feels much larger and well put together, although I equally liked the other store. I'm pretty sure they have the largest stocked items for Xtratuf I've ever seen in one place, which is perfect. There isn't a reason for me to ever look elsewhere. They carry so many products that many may not think of like Grundens, Yeti, Xtratuf, Hydro Flask, Vision-X Lighting, Mustang Inflatable Vests, Ladner Shrimp Pots, Shrimp Pot Pullers, Shrimp Bait, and Salmon Sisters to boot. Their prices are excellent too, with no crazy markups. They have an Amazon storefront, but I highly recommend checking them out in person... which of course is cheaper than ordering online too!

Took a ladies only class and was so excited to get to know how to use my handguns. While prepping…read morefor the class, the clearly written requirements included stating a "9MM or larger handgun" which worked great for me as I have a 10MM. I went out and purchased everything I needed for my 10MM for the class. However, when their secretary (?) called me, she said the instructor would NOT allow me to use my 10MM, only a 9MM. Although this really irritated me, my husband took me out and completely set me up with a 9MM that I could use as my concealed carry, this cost us just at $1,000 dollars. I was told I could bring both to class to shoot, but the training would be with the 9MM. When I went to the Friday night meet and greet, I was then told when we were checking our equipment that I would NOT BE ALLOWED TO USE EITHER OF MY HANDGUNS, rather, I had to use one he had in his "rental" fleet. Basically, he decided for me what is best for me even though I already have 2 guns which I need familiarity with, which I thought is what this class was for. Let's review, now I have 2 handguns that I have literally invested thousands of dollars into that I will not have any familiarity with because Steve wouldn't allow it in his class. He said "maybe at the end of the day, you could shoot your own guns." Oddly, other women were allowed to use their personal guns which made me feel literally disrespected and discriminated against. I did choose to go to this training anyways figuring I would get the most out of the instruction of theory and safety, then I could blend in my own guns during the shooting time. I used his larger and what I consider lesser gun for the shooting, but was never allowed to use mine at all until after 5:00 when the class was slated to end at 4:00. I was done with this and simply took all my things and left for the 1.5 hour drive home. Recommendations: The "Classroom" instruction piece was both informative and good. The class gun requirements as written are both misleading and not followed by the instructor. The instructor showed no appreciation nor value in making sure the clients are versed in the use of their own firearms. For this reason and the misleading class requirements, I would not recommend this class to anyone as I felt both disrespected by Steve and duped by their process. If you are a woman older than 60 and choose to go to this class anyway after reading this, prepare to leave upset.

"Everyone thinks they know basic safety" and anyone can point and shoot a gun.. but in this class i learned proper gun handling a way more efficient way of shooting with precision.. the class was fun great staff and great program id highly recommend this to anyone who wants to learn how to b a better shooter... by the time i really understood the handing of my gun i saw a huge night and day difference from how i started when we first arrived at the range.. to how i finished with the exam... if your looking for your conceal permit this class is super highly recommend learned a lot about laws/safety/handling of guns and precision shooting.. and the staff is all super helpful and non judgmental.. just a super great program they provide!!
