Field & Stream

Came in to buy a benchmade knife and stood at the display case looking at them for 10 minutes while the guy working there talked about tattoos and tattoo removal with someone he knew at the counter. I left and went to gander mountain to buy it. I generally like Field & Stream but not on this visit.

Nice selection of knifes and guns. Customer service was a little slow, but once helped customer service rep was polite and helpful.

I just moved near here got excited to see an outdoorsman store in the city, went to the grand opening lots of name brand hunting gear, prices are a little higher than online, not really any super deals. Ive been back a couple times, the last time in i was looking for a new jigging rod and was told by 2 differant associates that they couldn’t help me and i should wait for another salesman. Now it was about 730 pm on a Tuesday night so i wait til about 9 pm i was informed that the store was closing. The salesman asked me if i had time to stop by the next day but i didnt bother seemed easier to go to another store i will probably stop back but only to waste time not to buy anything.

I never got around to taking the survey from my receipt because I cannot find it but back in December my fiancé took me in to get me a crossbow for my birthday and we were helped by Steve. He was super awesome in explaining everything to me and I know my fiancé, Kyle, thought he was outstanding too.
Additionally, this is probably our favorite store. Even if we don’t need anything we go in and end up leaving with something.

Went to purchase a 22 rifle for my Grandson for Christmas. Rifle showed to be on sale on their website and stated in store purchase only. Was told in store they did not have the rifle. Asked if they could transfer one from another store. After checking was told no other store had one. Asked to order one and was told could only order one in pink. I stated «you can’t order one from Remington» and was told they get guns from a broker and not direct from manufacturer. Point is if they had gun nowhere nor could not order one, why is it on sale on line or why doesn’t it state currently out of stock. Would have saved me a 60 mile trip.

This place looks slick on the outside, as well on the inside. I liked the area with the big comfy chairs and fireplace, nice touch.
Huge selection of cammo clothing, with Under Armor and Carhartt (sp?) seeming to be the dominant brands. Nice selection of boots/​shoes, but the price on my favorite Keen hikers was higher than at REI.
I thought it odd that we practically had the store to ourselves on an early evening so close to Christmas, not sure if that’s a good sign for the success of this store.

This place is super cool. The facility is nicely organized and easy to navigate. They had a great selection of rifles and hand guns, scopes and binoculars, bows and knives, and anything else you may need while you’re in the field. It’s nice to have them in the area since Gander Mountain is such a hike. I didn’t get a chance to price compare but I’ll be back to look further.

On my way to Bass Pro, I thought I would give this place a try. Walking in, there was no greeting or anyone close by. I walked around the entire store and eventually found the camping section but there was still no one around when I needed help. Eventually, I walked to the cashier and asked for help. The gentleman who came over was cold and snippy .I needed a 12ft elastic cord to replace the snapped one in one of my tent poles. He stated they don’t have the cord but they have tent pole replacement kits (which I previously saw). He kept insisting for me to go get the pole out of my car but I told him 5 times that I did not need a new pole, I needed a new cord. He walked to me to the replacement kits and then just walked away. There was a cord in the kit; however the package did not have length. Heading to Bass Pro after 15 minutes of wasted time and bad customer service. Not having the part isn’t the issue, it was the rudeness that topped it off.

Very disappointed!
1. I was in the store for 10 minutes before acknowledged. (11:00 on a Tuesday)
2. Asked «professional» at gun counter if they had any more clips in stock that weren’t out. I couldn’t find my caliber on the rack. His reply «I can’t possibly know everything we carry, why don’t you look on line».
3. Thought I would pick up some ammo while there. Waited 8 minutes in a line of 4. 1cashier and the line never moved. I then walked over to see if one of the 3 associates standing and talking could help. They said they would get someone. Waited 6 more minutes, walked up to the desk, set my stuff down and walked out.
I drove past Bass Pro and was prepared to spend a couple hundred dollars and they obviously didn’t want it.
I will happily stick with Bass Pro and Cabellas.

I’ve been eagerly awaiting the opening of our local F&S since seeing the attractive façade going up on the outskirts of Oakland Mall. From the outside it looks like a Cabelas, and inside it’s very attractive, too; much nicer than the typical Gander Mountain. Alas, what I found was a bit of a disappointment.
Like Cabelas and Gander Mountain, prices are almost universally list. There are a few discounted items, but not many. The ammunition selection is pretty good, although prices are higher than I’ve seen at other stores. They did have a pallet full of Federal Auto Match .22LR that they were doling out two to a customer for $ 19.95.
The reloading section was a huge disappointment– one short aisle with a few primers, a few RCBS die sets, no powder, and one press. Archery was all crossbows and compounds, save for two inexpensive target recurves. The gun selection looked decent, but there were very few scopes and even fewer dot sights. The fishing section had a few racks of quality rods, including fly rods. There’s also a dog section that smelled like a wet goat– I didn’t get close enough to discover why. Clothing is pretty much what you’ll find at Gander.
So on the plus side, they’re nearby, the place is attractive, and they have .22. On the downside, the selection is very limited and prices are as high as you’ll find anywhere. My local FFL can get me anything I want at a better price, and I can order pretty much everything else I need from Midway or another supplier.
Update: I went back a week later, after the big opening promotions were over, to see what the store was like. There was no more .22 to be had, and the crowds were gone. A lot of the sections were obviously stocked without a real knowledge of the sport– the fly fishing section, for example, had a row of tying materials but was oddly lacking in many of the most commonly used ones. The tiny reloading section had three different presses, plenty of primers, but no powder, and no cases, dies, or bullets for common calibers.

Nice looking store, easy to find what you need. I went to check it out and buy some ammo for the target range. Normally I get it at Walmart (.40 cal Winchester value pack 100 rounds) for $ 33 price on shelf here was close enough so I grabbed 3 packs but it rang up at $ 45 per pack I said to the cashier that price wasn’t right and I can buy it cheaper at Walmart she said if I can find it on my phone she can price match it. But that value pack won’t show price online since it’s an in store price only. Than I remembered I had a recent receipt when I bought 2 packs in my car with my range accessories (muffs and glasses) I took the receipt in with the image on my phone that showed the sku # and she did the price match. Saved me $ 40. Nice to know that they will price match to keep a customer.

Only four stars because there were no door busters, grand opening hoopla. The store was awesome but I fought the crowd to get my Christmas shopping done and was sadly disappointed. I’m not paying full retail for things, there is to much competition.

Great new store. Prices are similar to bass pro. They do seem to have larger gun and fly fishing selection. I still see myself going to basspro but that’s just bcz its closer.

While Bass Pro sits 45 minutes to the North and Cabelas sits 45 minutes to the South, it’s a breath of fresh air to have strictly an outdoors store so much closer to my house.
Field & Stream is owned by Dick’s but unlike its parent store, you won’t find roller blades, yoga pants, batting gloves or golf spikes here. They stay focused to hunting, shooting, archery, camping and fishing. It’s a scaled down version of Bass Pro with just the necessities. So there is no ATV or boat dealership on site. There is also no salt water fishing section or time share hustle either. That’s fine with me. Field & Stream sticks to what Michigan outdoorsmen and women want and need.
There is a generous gun counter with a knowledgeable staff. There is also an indoor archery range to try that new crossbow or compound bow.
I went on the day they opened and there was absolutely no fan fare. Why not? You’re open, let the world know. How about some giveaways or a little rah-​rah! Also, I didn’t see any door buster pricing on anything. Odd for a new store and yes, they are already out of .22LR ammo.
While I was hoping for the Michigan-​based Dunham’s to do this for years, I will be back as this store has exactly what I’m looking for.

This place is great! Awesome selection and great prices to go with them. The staff was extremely helpful and very knowledgeable! Just what this area needed. No need for Bass Pros anymore!

It’s a very pretty store. The prices are ok, no good deals. Lots of parking available. But in our 60 minute shopping trip, one employee ask us if we needed assistance! Lots of employees but not many of them helping customers. Bass Pro has nothing to worry about.

Came here earlier today with my dad since he’s a huge outdoors guy and I gotta say I was pleasantly surprised! They had an enormous area of fishing and hunting items (tonsssss of lures, live bate, rods, guns, ammo, traps ect), jerky/​sausage (and seasonings), equipment, clothing and shoes!
The staff members were great and plentiful (especially bc they opened a couple days early) but constantly asking if we needed any help! The only thing that bummed me out was no big fish tank :(
If you’re an outdoors person this place is all you! Plan a couple hours as this place is HUGE but you’ll be sure to have a great time and walk out with a bunch of goodies!
