I followed this thread with interest and have to say my experience with ACADEMY has been totally different. This year I've bought at least 9 guns total (I may have lost count) shopping at three different Academy Stores in the Fort Worth area. Experience at NRH and West Fort Worth was excellent. No more than 30 minutes in and out with the people behind the counter, knowing the guns and knowing the paperwork. Yesterday I bought a pistol at the Hulen store. The guys behind the counter knew what they were doing, but the store manager (they said he was new), didn't know a gun from a basketball. The computer said they had two in stock, but a thorough search of the safe turned up nothing. I said I'd take the one on display and it took them a while to find the box. So the total in and out was more like 45 minutes instead of 30. We have lots of places to buy guns around here, but with both guns and ammo, if Academy has it, the price can't be beat. No, they dont' take trades and no, they don't special order, but they do have a good stock of popular firearms and at unbeatable prices.

My one and only purchase at Cabela's took 2 hours, even with the CHL.
