Kevin’s Guns & Sporting Goods

Kevin’s is a quality, upscale hunting and outdoors store.
That being said they have their pros and cons.
For their pros, it would be their expertise, and high-​quality products.
They can tell you specifically what are some things you’ll need for whatever it is you’re trying to accomplish, and in their store, they have some of the best quality products available.
For their cons, it’s customer service.
True, they may give off the appearance that they have no interest in selling anything or that they’re annoyed, but the reality is they’re just blown out from working in customer service.
(if you’ve worked in customer service before, you know the «helpful, but IDGAF» attitude)
So if you don’t mind paying a little bit more money for some of the highest quality products, and want to be helped by some of the most knowledgeable «outdoors» people in Tallahassee (Who seem like they’d rather be doing ANYTHING else), Kevin’s is perfect.
If you want the opposite, you can go to Bass Pro, where they are super friendly, but a lot of the time, have no idea what they’re talking about.
For example, I had questions about my compound bow, and the staff at Bass Pro literally told me they had no idea what certain attachments were for.
At Kevins however, they have a bow specialist Jayme, who not only can tell you what every attachment is for, but could probably also put together your bow blindfolded, with one arm behind his back.

It’s been about 10+ years since I’ve been to Kevin’s in Tallahassee. I have purchased 2 firearms and don’t remember having any issues. With my interest in firearms rejuvenated recently, I decided to give them a visit… Until I started reading their reviews. The reviews are not favorable. After debated wether to go during my next trip to Tallahassee (I live in Thomasville, GA), I decided to stop by and found that I arrived about 20 minutes before they open. As I was backing up to pull away, one the associates opened the door and motioned for me to come in. He was very helpful, helping my find what I was looking for, and offering suggestions based on my other purchases. The visit was not worthy of 5 stars as the gun counter staff was helpful, but not overly friendly. This may be in part to the fact that they just got there on a Monday morning. We all know what that is like. It appears to me that they are making an effort to correct their reputation. This was a good enough experience for me to return the next time I’m in Tallahassee and need something for my AR-​15. It was also a good enough experience to take the time to write this review.

Very interesting store, great products. IF you can get them. The catalog prices are frequently wrong (and they will not honor the lower price) and I have had my order cancelled weeks later because they were «sold out.»
