I got word from an appraisal buddy.

The old fairgrounds lot across from lowes has been bought, and Academy Sports is coming to town!! This is good news to me, as I hear they have good deals for short and long arms...

My experience is that their guns are priced a bit high, unless they are on sale. Then they are about the same as dealer cost.

Their gun prices/slection isnt very good. But their ammo prices/selction is VERY good. Ammo price is on par with most online ammo dealers, and it is the only place in Little Rock where I can get .303 British, 5.45 Russian, and 5.7 FN off the shelf.

Why is it that with all of that wide open land up there that there isn't a really cool public range around Jboro? Is it that so many folks have access to private ranges that there isn't any demand for a public range? Or is it that there are so many Fudds up there that still have half a box of 30-06 ammo that they inherited from their Grandad?

You need to know a buddy who works there. See––-(Employee Discount)

Hypothetical buddy might not want it mentioned online that sharing that benefit of working there is to be considered, as it is likely against his terms of employment to do so.

I don't even know anyone who works there. Just saying that seems to be the general rule from McDonalds to the White House.

Yep, said husband and I are excited about this - we typically buy our reloading and such online, but local options are always nice!!
