“First and foremost, this was a phenomenal training experience that I would recommend to anyone looking to obtain their CCL permit.

Day 1: Steve was my instructor and he did an excellent job at covering the material. We covered 7 hours of material and I don’t think he looked at the screen all but a couple of times. This just goes to show how much knowledge he has on the subject. Once w got to the range, Steve and Larry continued to do an excellent job ensuring top tier instruction.

Day 2: Mike and Nicole were the instructors for day 2. I’m a college professor so I’m always observing other instructors whenever I get a chance to. Mike is absolutely an amazing instructor! He kept us engaged the entire time while in the class, and he brings a lot of energy, which actually made the classroom part of the training enjoyable. On the range, him and Nicole were also phenomenal in their approach. They were extremely patient and provided me with a bunch of details to improve my craft.

Simply put, I would 10/10 recommend this place for anyone looking to get their CCL permit.

Thank you Red Dot for an enjoyable experience!”

“Took my father to get hunting gear and Paul from camping was exceptionally helpful. He provided personalized service and help us in arranging for gear which wasn't locally available in store. Definitely would like to recommend him for employee of the month as he went above and beyond!”

“Earth angels. Open arms has helped my family and myself personally on and off throughout the years and i've only ever had kind experiences with each and every person. Thank you for all you do and thank you for volunteering your precious time to help others.”

“I used to walk here a child from Loon Lake, that was 35 years ago, now I take my kids over there. The same guy has been there, what a great place to get bait. I don't go anywhere else.”

“We recently purchased a brand new boat from a Bass Pro Shop located a few hours from our home, and the experience was nothing short of exceptional. The team, especially Ted, Jeff, Denise and Marty, went above and beyond to ensure we were completely satisfied with every step of the process. Their dedication to customer service stood out as a refreshing reminder of what retail should be.

In an era where genuine customer service is often rare, this team at Bass Pro Shop proved that it still exists. They took the time to understand our needs, provided detailed information, and ensured we left confident and happy with our purchase. This level of care made the trip well worth it.

We wholeheartedly recommend Bass Pro Shop to anyone looking to purchase a boat. The quality of their service matches the quality of their products, making for a memorable buying experience. Special thanks to Ted for his exceptional dedication.”

“I have been a very satisfied customer since the beginning. Bought and sold guns; had guns cleaned and serviced not to mention ammo and an occasional knife. These gentlemen provide great advice and are very fair on pricing. I would not buy another gun without investigating this shop. Always a pleasure to visit even if only to see what is new!!”

“HB guns is a great place if you are looking to buy or sell firearms. the owner is very courteous and knowledgeable. Their selection is great, with many collectible or later model firearms. If the firearms you are looking for is not in stock HB arms can always order it for you. they can also receive guns from online retailers or auction cites for a small fee. the stores ammo selection is minimal but they also sell ammo for antique firearms that cant be found in other businesses. ammo can also be ordered through HB arms in bulk for a good price depending on the ammo. The gunsmith is there every Friday and only Friday. I don't know the hours off the top of my head but i believe they are open m-f 9-5 and Saturday they close earlier but i don't remember specifically when they close. Sundays they are closed. Overall HB arms is a great and friendly place.”
