Everything for outdoors. Largest selection I've ever seen. Has indoor range. Lot's of shopping for NC traditional fragrances, clothes, snacks, accessories. I highly recommend as one of the best stored in NC. Also has local wine selection now. read more

Very poor customer service. I waited at counter to get some range time, and three employees walked by me. Not one said anything. Never going back. read more

Thanks for putting a few items on sale. Otherwise Neuse Sport Shop is a bit pricey, but have they got a variety of items!!! Hunting, fishing, and boating supplies and clothing for the sport men and women. Home decor with a beach theme takes one entire section of the store. There's a Children's store within the store. A food section with local wines, dip mixes, nuts, treats for the holidays. Lots of clothing for all sizes and genders--many branded items. Neuse has its own line of sweats, t-shirts and flannels. You can also find Yeti products, igloo coolers too, Eno hammocks, shoes and boots, rain gear, sodas and snacks to go. Plus they do fantastic free gift wrapping during the Christmas season. Those elves are working hard! read more

Neuse Sport Shop - Free wrapping - Sporting Goods Near Me - Kinston, North Carolina

Great staff, decent prices considering the other stores throughout the area also. Have always been helped when visiting the Kinston location regardless of the day of week or hours I have visited. read more

Easily one of the hidden gems in Eastern NC. Gun range is outstanding and about the only INDOOR range in Eastern North Carolina. I see some others complaining about what they allow and don't allow, but I had no trouble. Keep in mind, this is an INDOOR facility, so there's obvious limitations, but if you want a place to do some target shooting and plinking, you can't beat it. Apparel selection is incredible, but the fishing section is where it's at. Just about any kind of lure for any fish...bass, offshore, shad, specks...I mean, if you can't find it here it doesn't exist. Really knowledgeable people too, and they'll special order nearly anything you ask for in the gun dept. Good peeps, really love this store. read more

The rest of the store is fine, but I was as close to a regular at the firearm and shooting range section as I could manage. While the range amenities and staff are great, the rules, policies, and firearm selection have been changing for worse, especially as of late. I'm not sure I could give a higher review or even continue patronage because of uniformed decisions such as: 1. Restricted AR15 policy. This has always been a rule, but a range touting a rating up to .50BMG doesn't allow AR15's except on TUESDAYS? Ridiculous. 2. Braced pistols are downright banned for some arbitrary reason (and apparently even registered Short Barreled Rifles in some situations), although they are perfectly legal. Why can I use NFA items like suppressors but not a braced pistol? 3. Firearm selection for purchase/rental use has slowly whittled down to simple handguns or hunting rifles/shotguns exclusively. Purchasing or renting sporting rifles/pistols is out of the question. What a waste. I enjoy the environment, but despite the staff's best efforts, I can tell my type of customer base is not going to be welcome much longer at this rate; it feels like they don't want my business. Do with that as you please. read more

I found their multiple restroom billboards leading up to their shop entertaining and on my last drive to the beach I found them vital. We were looking for a place to stop to change my baby's diaper and the signs started popping up at the right time. The billboards made the shop easy to find! I liked how in the parking lot instead of basic parking lines they had rows of painted fish. They had a nice mini farmer's market outside and my son loved looking a their water feature. Inside the store is huge and they have a little bit of everything. All the employees were friendly and happy to help you find anything. The bathrooms were super clean (as promised on the billboard). Of course it's hard to walk through and not buy anything, they certainly know what they are doing with those ads! read more

See all

Seems like every recent visit we've made at NSS has been tainted by poor customer service from the "head cashier," Brandi, per her name tag. We have had several disputes over pricing, and instead of "taking care of the customer," we instead stood there for a good while, witnessing the he-said-she-said bickering over the radio. NSS lost a $150 sale over a $5 price adjustment. I have no complaints about any other aspects of the store. Restrooms were clean, and we received excellent service in the shoe and gun departments. read more

Went by yesterday looking for some specific items. They have lots of cutsy Yeti products, Columbia sportswear, etc. but: Flares Nope Flare Gun Nope Flare cartriges Nope Planer Bridle Nope 3/8 oz egg sinkers Nope Somebody to help: finally got somebody, must have been in the back room, seemed ill I had interrupted I did find some Mustad Hooks and #10 wire Next time I am looking: E Z Bait & Tackle read more

A few years back I purchased a new Matthews Triax Bow from Neuse Sport Shop in Kinston. I shoot a lot so, this year I wanted to change my strings and cables on my bow. I called and talked to John in the archery department and ordered a new colored string. John told me it would take about two weeks to get it in and he'd call me when it arrived. Four weeks later I hadn't heard anything so I called back. John wasn't there, call back tomorrow when John is here. I call the next day. John, no it didn't come in but we are expecting a shipment next Monday, ill call you Monday. No call so I call back Wednesday. John is working in Cedar Point today, call back tomorrow. I call back, get out on hold, no answer after 10 minutes so I hang up. Call back next day. John isn't here today, call back tomorrow. I call back next day. John, your string didn't come in but we're expecting a shipment Monday. I'm putting a note in my phone to call you Monday. Monday rolls around and no call. I call Tuesday. John is working in Cedar Point, call back tomorrow. I call back tomorrow. John, the company we normally order from went out of business. We are expecting a shipment Monday. I'll put a note in my phone and call you Monday. Monday, no call. I didn't call anymore. I'm at the point if they make this string out of lucky rabbits foot hair and I'm guaranteed a 12 point buck with every shot and they told me it was absolutely free, I'd tell them where they can stick this string. They are great at taking your money but after that, good luck. Sure this place is pretty but so is a rattlesnake. Obviously there are a bunch of people that either don't know how piss poor their customer service is or they just don't care because their parking lot is always full. But I'll guarantee you one thing, you won't ever see me there again. read more

DO NOT buy a firearm from this place. My Buddy purchased a brand new $800 Bergara rifle in October to hunt with this season. The salesman assured him this was a fine rifle and would shoot sub-MOA groups. He took it home only to discover it had a defective bolt catch. He immediately went back to the store to have the rifle repaired or exchanged and they told him they would have to send the rifle back to Bergara for repairs. SIX WEEKS later the rifle is still sitting at Neuse Sports!!! First they told him they were awaiting a pickup tag from Bergara, then they said they were awaiting parts. When he complained that the hunting season was almost over, he was out $800, and he still had no rifle- all they could say was that he would have to wait. NOT the way to do business! read more

i purchase a holster for my pistol on 3/21/21it started coming apart took it back to get it replaced and told me i had to have the original package. i have the receipt but they would not give me another one. read more

Wanted to have spool installed on reels, called ahead to make sure product was in stock. Got there and one spool was short, second one was damaged, third one was out of stock and left after a hour with no line on reels. read more

My husband and I enjoy visiting for their shooting range. It's climate controlled and has nice digital target system. We have found the range staff and firearms salesmen yo be super friendly and helpful. The store itself has a lot of modern decor, clothing, and outdoorsy items. I can't give much of an option on those however. I generally visit for the range and firearms departments. However, they do have a small archery range. It seems to be geared towards hunting, as most places in these parts. I've seen a tech there and imaging its main purpose is for testing repaired equipment and pre-sales decisions rather than actual practice. It's just a nice environment overall and we usually spend a couple of hours there each trip. I highly recommend. read more

This is a nice Sport shop on the main road. They carry everything from hunting to fishing to beach supplies. I normally stop here on the way to the beach to see what they have new in and pick up anything that I forgot at home. They also have very clean restrooms. read more

My family always stops here on the way to and from the beach and it's awesome! I love the place overall and the service is great! The cashier we had was super nice and friendly, not to mention the prices there are pretty good! read more

Not very handicapped-friendly. I am a 100% disabled veteran. I have bad legs, can barely walk and can only stand for a few minutes at a time. Shooting is one of my hobbies so I decided to check out their new indoor range. I visited and asked if they could accomodate me to shoot from a seated position and I received every assurance they would. The following week after spending the day preparing to visit the range and shoot, I arrived and spent the better part of an hour registering, read all the forms about range rules & safety and watched the video, then aced the test they give to ensure you were paying attention. Ready to enter the range, the (I presume) Range Safety Officer rather harshly informed me that a chair couldn't be brought inside, and I would "certainly" not be allowed to shoot from a seated position. He questioned me with considerable incredulity as to who had told me I could, but I didn't have the employee's name I'd talked to previously. I quickly realized he would be unbending, and considering his attitude I had already decided this was not a business I wanted to patronize, so I just asked for my money back and departed. Too bad, Neuse Sport Shop - you have lost what would have been a VERY good customer. Forever. This is the 2nd deal* you've screwed me over on, & I will never spend another nickel there now. *Quoted me a price on a gun they special ordered for me, then when it arrived, suddenly, it was "too good a deal and they had to have more money for it". read more

Great selection of fishing gear and apparel, as well as some cool stuff that I can never get my hands on (Bullfrog sunscreen anyone?) and some great dog gear too! Always a stop on the way from Raleigh to Beaufort. Super helpful, friendly staff too! read more

Neuse Sport Shop is a wonderful asset to Kinston. One of the best stores in the entire town. I love the selection for both men and women. Everyone is extremely helpful, the store is clean, and they do an excellent gift wrapping job! read more

Love this place......everything for the outdoors you could want! The gun range is excellent!

Our Concealed Carry class today was outstanding. The information was interesting and informative. Our instructor David was wonderful!! He was personable, professional, knowledgeable, helpful and patient. This was my first experience with guns and he made me feel comfortable and confident. This was a first class operation. Thanks for everything!! read more

Was told about this by a friend. Glad he told me enjoyed my first visit there and so did my wife. When we turned home checked out their website. The website needs a lot of improving it doesn't show very much of their inventory at all, but was able to find a few items and placed an order. Received my order in three days with free shipping. read more

I stopped in 2 weeks ago, on a Sunday, to look at Glock pistols. There were only 2 young men in the firearms section and the store was packed. I wanted to compare two models for their weight due to severe back problems I have, and the weight of a pistol on my belt. The young man I dealt with acted like he didn't want to show me either one and hovered over me like I was going to steal them, even though I was leaning over the counter toward him. I'm 48, clean cut, and in dress clothes having just come from church, not most likely looking like a person that would steal something. I've been in law enforcement 26 years, and most people that would steal a pistol, generally wouldn't dress in their Sunday best. They had 2 on sale but the clerk I was dealing with couldn't tell me which two and what their exact price was, even after checking with the other young man behind the counter. On top of that they were gen 2 while the most current models are gen 5. They were priced, according to what might be the sale price he "believed" them to be, the same as the regular price for gen 5's at other stores. Over all, I wasn't surprised because this place has always been over priced. Their after Christmas 10% off guns almost brings the prices down to other stores prices. I have two suggestions for the owners. 1) On your busiest days, have someone in the gun section that know something! 2) If they are so fearful someone's going to steal a gun ask for and hold their id, that way you could id them if they did steal one. That would be less offensive to me than hovering over me, like I am a thief, while I looked at one. I wouldn't buy anything here unless I absolutely couldn't find it anywhere else, or it was going to cost me more, due to the gas I would burn, going somewhere else! read more

Excellent selection of guns, accessories, ammo, etc. I will say though - every time I have called to see if they had a specific brand of product - 3 plus times with 3 different people in the gun department - they would say hang on let me check and they would say no we don't have any in stock right now - I arrive maybe 30 minutes later to find out they have plenty of it in stock. 1st time was about a stock for my gun. 2nd time was for a grip. 3rd time was for a rail system. No offense but I'm just bothered at this - when I get there people are great, friendly willing to help but as far talking with people over the phone and same stuff like this happens repeatedly on different occasions - kinda makes the staff appear to be un caring over the phone, can not read for whatever reason, does not want to take the time to look, is legally blind or is just flat out dumb! Which I'm gonna say it's not the dumbness because every time I walk in they are very knowledgeable when it comes to guns and accessories- so I'm gonna go with the - they just don't care and are trying to get people off the phone so they can tend to the customers inside the store, that's most likely 99% Accurate. So Neuse - if your reading this I would highly suggest you start caring when people call you about a product and not to lie - you will end up losing customers - no you won't go out of business most likely - but you could be "making more money" by just being honest over the phone and not just trying to get back to whatever it is your doing. read more

Give credit where it is due good selection for fishing and open early with a convenient location. Would have been 5 stars except I was overcharged for the items I purchased. Ended up paying for a 6 dollar item I never purchased. Would not have been a big deal mistakes happen. Except I noticed this and brought it up to the cashier, she tried to charge me more also NOT based on what was purchased. Emailed store. No response after a month. read more

Another fabulous experience at Neuse Sport Shop this past weekend. Bert and Caleb continue to be superstars in providing helpful and friendly customer service! read more

We came because it has an indoor gun range which is rare in these parts. The gun range is excellent. The staff is knowledgeable and helpful. Safety is stressed.
