| Looking for a good range, and some good shops in NW Arkansas. Any recommendations? |
| If you want to shoot outside, the range at the Hobbs State Management area is pretty nice. There's a fairly new gun shop in Bella Vista (Hog's Breath I believe) that supposedly has some very nice / expensive items like a $30,000 double rifle and a pair of dueling pistols for $750,000. I haven't been there, but that's what I was told. |

That Hog's breath gun shop is just up the road from me (I'm in Bella Vista). He's certainly got some nice stuff, if you are into VERY high end custom 1911s, Hunting revolvers, super-duper custom Fudd guns and (oddly enough) full retail Glocks. The last (and only) time I was there the only non-fudd gun he had was an HK91....$3000 worth. I was coming home from work so I was dressed nicely, but was invisible until I was leaving while the owner was talking with some guy. I usually need to go to the Big Brothers Pawn in Cuidad Springdale to be ignored so completely. The owner is some kind of big time contractor around here. He drives an enormous bright yellow Ford F 650 (not a typo....650) as his around town grocery getter, if that tells you anything. |
I doubt that I'll ever step foot in there. They're not open on Saturdays  and close at 1800 during the week. I won't be leaving work early just to make their hours.

I'll guarantee I'll never step foot in there. It's owned by a couple guys, I believe, that I will not name. One of which maybe owns a gunshop in LR maybe? Very popular and expensive as well. I'll keep my business with the guys that don't think their shit smells better than everyone elses. I guess the Wal-Mart exec's will keep them in business a little while longer. The "other" store usually has several tables at the Springdale show. Tons of glass cases full of Wilson's, Springers, Kimbers and over priced Glocks and revolvers. Several over priced AR's and H&K's on the end of the table as well. |
Doesn't sound like a place I'd care to patronize either! |
Springdale...Map They are a Class 3 dealer. |
