Recently found out there is a new Academy Sports store opening in Springfield this fall. I knew there was one in Joplin but never visited it. Anyone know anything good, bad or otherwise about this chain? Wondering what their gun/ammo prices will be like compared to the stores here now.

Liked the one in Joplin, not bad for a chain, of course, its gone now with the tornado and not sure if they are going to rebuild. Had good prices on guns and ammo and normally ran a special in a gun every week or every other, so you could pick something up below cost every now and again. I bought a Taurus 24/7 pro there in 40 cal for $325 last year, thought that was a pretty good deal.

I've never shopped in one, but I've read things from others that they will run some pretty decent specials on ammo & firearms. I'd certainly look forward to having one here in town.

Bass Pro is still the big dog in town but even their sale prices on guns and ammo is nothing to get excited about so I'm looking forward to Academy.

I used to go to the one in Joplin.  Pretty cool store (for a chain). Can't wait for one in Sgf.

Any word on location?

It's next to the Sam's Club on Campbell.
