I drove three hours to his shop, and it was absolutely worth the trip. He took the time to answer every question, explain the differences between models, and make sure I left with the right fit for me. The whole experience was professional, friendly, and confidence‑building. I wouldn't hesitate to buy from him again.

Then when the shill bidder wins the auction, they don't complete the transaction and Tar river immediately relists the item with a higher starting bid.

This place has NEVER been fully staffed; or I should say; NEVER been staffed adequately. At the…read moremost, not counting holidays, I've only witnessed 3 employees at once here. I once entered the store, saw no one by the register as I came in, browsed firearms section, ammunition, disc golf, team sports, shoes, and exercise equipment areas (all along the outside perimeter of the store giving access to center of the store) and took about an hour doing so. I DID NOT SEE AN EMPLOYEE AT ALL!! As I left, still no one by the register. The prices are usually higher than most places, the selection is usually thin and not varied, customer service is a big fat ZERO. I did go the other day to look at some 1911's and only took me 30 minutes standing in that area to finally get someone to notice me. Before that trip, I went to buy ammo and after waiting 35 minutes and looking at guns through the glass, I finally called the store and said I was in guns and needed help. Only took another 10 minutes to get someone to me. Yes, I waited. I despise Wally World and will not give my money to them unless I absolutely HAVE TO. I thought it was just this Dunham's in Roanoke Rapids. But I've had similar "experiences" in the Rocky Mount, NC store. Atrocious business model if this is how they run the stores. No wonder the employee turnover rate here is so high for them. I will be returning later to update my review. But I have little hope for them to score better.

Since then, I've been there about times 30 over the past 18 months. The staff is always willing to walk through safety and operational handling of weapons with newer gun handlers. There is collection of weapons to rent if you don't have your own. Ammunition of varying caliber and targets are available. Concealed carry classes are also offered. This is definitely the place to go if you desire trained professionals with eminence patience and knowledge. Regardless of your level of experience, someone on the staff can help you improve your technique. Icing on the cake...it's very reasonably priced.

Let me tell ya, when you have a very stressful day since 5 AM, without a proper cup of morning joe, it can be quite a stress relief to shoot off a round, or two, or three... of 9mm or .22. Actually, I think I'm one of the few that's allowed in the back shooting range, since I know someone who know someone who runs the place :) Even without the familiarity, the cool and helpful folks here keep this place nice and orderly. If you have a small scale store, that carry dangerous merchandises such as rifles and guns (and pink taser and pink mace) you will definitely have to run a tidy shop. I also give two thumbs up to the knowledge of firearms and ammo. You would never figure by the dingily look from outside. No offense. They also run conceal firearm training course here, with reasonable price, and possible rib lunch on your lucky day! P.S. Sorry, no photos! but trust me, you'll feel all giggly once you step inside, like I did.

I haven't tried their shooting range but I did buy a handgun from here a couple months ago and enjoyed my experience. I even sold a few 1911's here and got what I was asking for them making the process pretty painless and enjoyable. Prices seem to be a little better than most other gun stores around my area so I don't mind the drive. The store is pretty much fully stocked with all kinds of firearms and I have recommended the place to a few of my buddies. The online store is great and easy to navigate but I haven't ordered anything offline yet. Overall I would definitely recommend this gun store to anyone, I look forward to going back whenever I decide what I want to add to my collection.
