"I always find the best sales here. There was a $350 TNF jacket I've been wanting. Went on sale there at %60 off. I got it for $140."

"First time ordering offline. Went to pick up bow that I bought. Saw a archery sign in back. Walked back and asked older gentleman is this where you pick up a bow. He was very rude and grouchy, said no we don't have bows back here. Walked up front for help,I finally saw a sign that said pick up. Cashier was super nice and very helpful. Guy in archery needs to be a whole lot more nicer to people. Your job is to help the public, not piss them off. Cashier young lady was awesome."

"Never went into an academy sports store before. Was looking for something specific, found it bought it had a good time with it. Pets are welcome in here that's awesome because my dog goes everywhere with me. Friendly helpful staff, clean environment."

"I am not a negative reviewer—or usually a reviewer at all—but I had such a disappointing experience tonight trying to buy a new bicycle. The first two staff members who helped me were super friendly. They aired up the tires for me, took it up front, and were very nice when I checked out! Unfortunately, the bike I purchased IMMEDIATELY had problems upon walking out of the store. Before I drove off, I took it for a small test ride in the parking lot. Low and behold, the gears wouldn’t shift properly, the chain kept catching, and the wheels were already squeaking. I don’t think it was assembled properly/something happened when it was on display. This is obviously very frustrating for a brand new purchase! I walked back in to return the bike and accessories I bought ($300+ worth), and the second cashier was INCREDIBLY condescending. I tried to tell him the bike had issues, but his only response was that “buyers remorse is nothing to be ashamed of, ma’am” :| I don’t think he listened at ALL when I tried to explain why I brought it back so soon. I got my money, so whatever…but I really didn’t appreciate being dismissed like that. It will probably go back on the floor in that condition because he clearly didn’t take me seriously. 2 stars because most of the staff has been pretty friendly every other time I’ve gone there. Unsure what was wrong with the bike, so make sure to test ride before purchasing."

"Short time in Indiana but have my IN ID I was able to purchase a gun and ammo in less than 50 min (yes I timed it) since I came from commiefornia and the wait there is 3 weeks the store is clean, well stocked, friendly and knowledgeable people"
