Decent prices on ammo but the staff are not very knowledgeable. I asked two separate employees the difference between brass cartridge and aluminum cartridge and they couldn’t for the life of them tell me the difference other than “one is lighter” You would think that’s something they would know since it a GUN AND ANMO store.
They are constantly out of stock on certain ammo and will say “you can order online and have it shipped to the store” once again, incorrect information.

Great selection of everything, from firearms and ammo to clothing, and lots of hunting and camping gear. Closest thing you'll find to Bass Pro in Wilmington, and the employees are always super helpful.
