Sorry, can't help you. I don't get down that way much anymore.
If it's anything like their Springfield, MO store, you should enjoy it!

Went down today , the place is nice ,too crowded for my taste but I guess thats to be expected in a new sporting goods store ,the selection of guns seemed to be on the limited side from what I could see there were sooooo many people at the gun cases it was hard to see !they have a 10 lane bowling alley that looks like your bowling under water pretty cool
All in all I thought it was a very good and organized store looking forward to going again ,maybe when things calm down a bit .

Your welcome SR9 the one thing I did notice is if you don't have your permit on you you cannot handle a pistol, don't know if it's the same for long gun I don't think you will be disappointed
Here's a pic from the bowling ally's

That is quite the bowling ally. I will stop by there for sure.

Question : Do they have employees at the entrance wanting to know if you are carrying? Last year at about this time I was met by a few employees that asked that question as I entered Cabellas. I was not happy about that. Of course I would never carry in Hartford because it is so safe there. :roll:

I was not asked anything by the greeters. That is only half of the bowling alley. 6 lanes on the left, a bar in the middle, and 6 more lanes on the right as shown in picture. Cool place. The do have .22's. I bought a bucket of 1400 Remington goldens for $75. They had other options too. The inventory seems to move fast

Sounds good, not that I would carry in Bridgeport since it is as safe as Hartford. :lol:

That's a great price now a days! Do they have a retail store? or just mail order?
