Academy Sports

[indiucky]

Went into the new one in Jeffersonville for first time couple weeks ago. Have ordered online before but first time in an actual store. Pretty nice, I didn't think prices were to bad. I did meet an idiot behind the gun counter. They had one of the Glock 17 Gen 1 remakes in stock. I commented about it and his only reply was " I hate Glocks they feel like a board in my hand". I wanted to tell him I really don't give a S!@# what you think but quietly moved on. Other then that guy it was good visit I'll go back again.

Had to be one of my old customers....

He's using my line....

I can't remember what he looked like. I just remember hearing
one of the guys at the counter telling another customer how he didn't like the feel of Glocks.

Did he look like this????

Haha, He might have looked something like that.

He's the worst....

I used to buy ammo from them years ago, when they had good prices. I’ve not seen any good deals with them in the last few years.

I’ll have to take a ride out someday.

The Westfield/Carmel store is looking really close to opening. Website is up but no opening date yet.

Ordered a Wheeler fat wrench from them yesterday. Under $50 including tax and shipping as they has a 20% off site wide promo code. Should see it Saturday.

I've had nothing but good experiences with Academy. All been online though. Wish we could get one up my way

Saw in a couple places that the Westfield store is tentatively opening on Monday 8/21.

Made my first order with them recently, only place I could find a Mossberg MVP Patrol in stock that ship to store. From chatter in the Asian 2A/gun groups, I've only heard positive things. Now I have found cheaper options, but Academy is a good place if you need ammo immediately.

I got my sig p322 from Academy in Terre Haute. First place to send me the in stock notice lol...bought it immediately.

Was he wearing pants or a Loin cloth?

No not really . Seems like a long drive for a yeah ok maybe store. Unless they have some Grand Opening Specials

The Westfield/Carmel store is open. Prices are about equal to Cabella. They do give discounts to military and some VIP discount that I have yet to figure out. A friend, retired Marine walked out with a 20% military discount and a 20% VIP discount. He couldn't believe 40% off!!!

Grand opening sales this weekend appear to be hourly things.

Their pricing is interesting. Some stuff they sell for really cheap. Other stuff not so much.

I just got a 5 person tent at the Lafayette store for $60, but their 9mm WWB ammo was "on sale" for 60 cents per round.

Their clothing all seems to be priced well, and some shoes, especially the Magellan line (house brand) and the quality seems good enough.

They also offer 10% off for teachers. I don't know if that's an all the time deal or just for back to school, but my fiance teaches a graduate class at Purdue so we take advantage of that discount when we're in there.

Here is a link to the Westfield Grand Opening Weekend specials. Blazer Brass at $0.24/rd and Taurus G2C at $199.99. Good, but not great (no shipping or FFL fees). Also, a chance to meet Joey Chestnut on Sunday.

Are you sure you saw that right? Yesterday at the Jeffersonville store WWB 9mm was $29.99 for a 100 round box and $16.99 for a 50 round box. Someone may have put the sign in the wrong place or something.
