Love this spot! I recently bought a new PSE bow and the experience was awesome. I’ve used a lot of different shops over the years and this one feels like home. The entire staff was more than helpful and went out of their way to make sure I was comfortable and happy with every piece of gear I bought. I’ve quickly become friends with Tyler and the rest of the crew and use them for all of my gear needs now. If you’re in the NE Florida area and need anything for the outdoors, The Southern Sportsman Outlet is the spot!
Tyler, Matt, and Josh were absolutely AMAZING!! Everyone was extremely knowledgeable about every aspect of bows. We traded in a bow and got a much better one for a great deal. They got everything set up for us and helped with everything that we had questions about. Everyone had awesome customer service skills and they truly can help with any of your bow hunting needs! We will definitely be returning to purchase more bows with this company. I would give them 10 stars if I could!
This was my first time purchasing a bow and I am new to the sport. Tyler and Matt were extremely helpful in guiding me according to my budget/ as well with providing insightful knowledge on their wide selection of products. They got me all set up and made sure that I had all the knowledge from maintenance to technique. The staff here goes above and beyond.
First time my family and I shot here and our experience was excellent. Matt specifically was knowledable and extremely friendly. The facility is clean, safe, and has a nice inventory.We will definitely be back!
This is a great bow shop! Friendly staff and great prices. I had my string come off my PSE bow. The staff was very quick to fix it. They also paper tuned it and let me shoot in the indoor range until it was perfectly tuned. I have been bow hunting close to thirty years and have been to quite a few shops, this one by far is superior to other shops in pricing and helpfulness. I have definitely found my new bow shop. Thanks fellows!
Southern sportsman outlet is my favorite Archery Pro shop and range. They have every accessory I never knew i always needed. Matt, behind the Bow Bar really knows his stuff. Very helpful staff. They made a custom string for my bow, the quality is top notch.
This place is awesome. Matt the bow tech when above and beyond my expectations. I brought a traditional recurve in with a unique problem and he helped me resolve the issue in a timely manner. This shop when above and beyond my expectations. I live over an hour away an will be more than happy to make the drive in the future to work with this shop. Some of the best customer service I have ever dealt with. Thanks so much.
I brought my family to this establishment to use their indoor archery facility today and I have nothing but positive things to say about this business. The facility was well cooled, cleaned, and well equipped for what they’re trying to do. The staff there are friendly, respectful and trained to attend to anything you might need or do there. The prices are justified and they help you make the best decisions most comfortable for you. I definitely will be returning there whenever I can.
Very happy yo have found this Shop! Great people! Friendly on the phone, friendly when you walk in -- they take their time to have a conversation and HELP customers.I went there to have my x-bow string and cables changed and they did it quickly, professionally and with great care for my bow. I was then able to take a few shots in their shop to test it out.Fully stocked shop with a great inventory, great people who have earned all my future business!Thank you Fellas!
The guys at at Souther Sportsman Outlet were absolutely phenomenal. I am just getting into traditional bow hunting and they provided invaluable advice and feedback. They were great helping me get arrows tuned for my specific set up and draw (without making me feel like an idiot!). I won’t go anywhere else. Customer for life.
I went into Southern Sportsman the other day looking for my boyfriend a birthday present and was helped right away. The employees were there to answer any questions I had and also helped me find the perfect gift. Not only was my over all experience great but the prices were even better. I would highly recommend this shop before I would any of the others in the surrounding Jacksonville area.
As my husband said before, a learning experience turned into a family bonding experience. I was comfortable learning from these guys and having them help my oldest daughter. They are great with the little ones. Glad to know yall. Thank you. Loads of fun!
The guys at the Southern Sportsman Outlet were extremely helpful and patient. They answered all of my questions, and even patiently answered all of my 6-year-old’s questions too! They are knowledgeable in their products, they won’t try and up-sell you, and they will make sure you leave the shop with the best archery setup possible.If you are just getting into archery, these guys will make you feel welcome and will not try and make you feel stupid for not knowing everything about the sport.
Great customer service and a very knowledgeable staff! Tyler, Jason, Josh, Matt and Red are awesome. I highly recommend them to tune your bow, and answer any and all of your questions regarding archery, firearms, etc. I recently had a couple of issues with my bow and had it tuned by Matt. He got all the vibration out, and now I am back hitting the sweet spot. Thanks again guys!!
I walked into southern sportsman outlet and couldn’t have had a better experience. Knowledgeable staff and great customer service. Tyler helped with my first bow purchase/setup and gave me 1 year membership at the indoor archery range with bow service! Highly recommend!
Was invited to a birthday party on their indoor archery range. Staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. They let us shoot off recurve and compound bows, and had setups for kids and adults including arm and finger guards. Plenty of paper and 3D animal targets to shoot at. The store itself was stocked with affordable bows, ammo, holsters, and more.When it was all over, the staff helped us change a flat tire. Thanks for going the extra mile!
These guys are the BEST!Very knowledgeable and very friendly! Highly recommend them!!!
Only shop I’ll go to for ammo and firearms. Tyler is very knowledgeable and always helps with whatever I need done. Could not recommend enough!
Been doing business there for years. From buying guns to re-stringing cross bows. Great place to do business.Boyd Deley
Great place to go shop for a Firearm and fair prices also.. The guys are very Professional and Friendly.. Keep up the good work Guys.Your Favorite Truck Driver 👍🏾
My first visit. Good selection of guns and bows. Also many accessories to offer.
We had a graduation party for our son there.Excellent service.Knowledgeable staff.Friendly and safe atmosphere.Good indoor range.
These guys are awesome! couldnt be more happy. went in got my bow tuned very great service and best price around. after i got home and started sighting in i didnt really feel comfortable with my bow and decided to go with a different setup. tyler was the one who tuned it so i went in and talkjed about a new bow. he took his time we figured out what my best fit was and what i felt most comfortable with, also setup everything and got me in all the good stuff in my price range. best archery shop in jacksonville hands down!!!
I went in yesterday. I was just killing time waiting on a delayed flight. Everyone who was working there was knowledgeable and FRIENDLY, which is something I dont always find at bow shops. Even though I told them there was zero chance I was gonna buy a bow that day they still set up a few bows for me to try. They had some brands there like OB and Prime that I havent seen in a store and it was nice to try something besides Mathews or Hoyt. I did end up buying a spot hogg release. Its a great shop. If your in the area check them out.
It is a great outdoor store. Has everything you need and the staff are very friendly and helpful.
If I could give zero stars, I would! The staff is not knowledgeable at all. Very poor customer service. Asking specific questions will help expose that they have no idea what they are doing. Also, prepare to pay for something you didn’t ask them to do. They will say they did it, make you pay, and you will walk out worse off than you walked in. Price gouging customers, poor customer service and untrained staff. That’s what you will get if you go here. You might as well light your money on fire!
Great customer service and knowledgeable guys. Fair prices and a great selection. Highly recommend doing business with them.
Great group of guys. Will continue to do business with them. Very helpful through the whole buying process, assembly, and tuning of the bow
Building another AR and having an issue locating the last part, the bcg. Called 30 shops and this one was definitely the most helpful and friendly, even took down my information in order to contact their dealers about my request. Much appreciated and recommend
Tyler was great! He showed me everything I needed and let me shoot the bow I wanted before buying! Even though they were busy I still received awesome customer service! Their indoor range is great and wide selection of products will bring me back for my next purchase!
Bought my first compound bow here and learned how to shoot it. All the guys are so friendly and will help you with anything you need and any questions you have
Great customer service 👍 helped me find exactly what I was looking for. That was a gift for my friend, so I had lots of questions. Thank you again!
Awesome group of guys, helped my wife and I with our bows and getting them ready to shoot . Didn’t push no products onto us. Just very informational on every aspect of archery. Definitely worth going!
Extremely good customer service.. Tyler will help anyway possible & is very knowledgeable when it comes to archery, Josh is your go to when it comes to anything firearm related, & Tom is also very knowledgeable & helpful with archery. All in all I left very satisfied with all of their help, they’ve got a lifetime customer. Prices are very good as well.
Great staff. Friendly and knowledgeable. Helped out with outfitting a new bow, setup, and adjusting. After nearly 2 and a half hours, I was set up. Very few places offer the hands on customer service, and willingness to help those less knowledgeable. I will absolutely be returning for everything.
These guys are good really good!!
What started as a learning experience for me has become a bonding experience for my family. Thank you everyone at Southern Sportsman for your guidance and expertise, we will never go anywhere else.
Really friendly staff. I am new to archery and had a lot of basic questions. Josh was very patient and eager to answer. Great overall buying experience. Would highly recommend.
So helpful and friendly. They make you feel welcome and are happy to answer your questions. They talk to you like they know you. I will definitely be going back.
My husband surprised me by bringing me here for my birthday to get me a bow. Tyler helped us find the perfect bow for me and we even got to test it on the range. He didnt pressure us or try and force us into a more expensive bow. He made sure that we were safe and even taught us the proper way to string and unstring our bow. My husband found a bow he liked as well and we were able to put it on lay away. We will definitely be going here again for our archery needs.
Local shop of guys who are friendly and helpful. I like the fact that I can go here and not get rip off. These guys are straight forward and honest. Good work guys.
Great place! Everyone I’ve worked with is very helpful.
What a joke the so called bow tech Tyler is incompetent.I watched him butcher a customers crossbow. Made me change my mind on who I will let work on my bow.
Great place. Great people. Will be going back for any thing I need.
Always great service, friendly
Great group of guys! I would love to see their business thrive!
Everyone was very helpful and didnt attempt to sell me things I didnt need. Also, I felt each persons love for archery. All were invested in me getting as tuned in as possible. They explained the whys and gave simple suggestions to increase my effectiveness. Will be returning regularly for services, range and events. I think I found a home shop!! Thanks guys!!!
The team at this shop are very welcoming and willing to help with any questions a rookie can ask. The free archery range membership with the purchase of a new bow was a great deal in my eyes, giving me a place to practice no matter the weather. I am a very satisfied customer who is now introducing this shop to friends and family.
My wife and I took my two young boys (6 and 8) to Southern Sportsman today for the first time to get their PSE Mini Burners tuned and set up right for each of them. Josh and Tyler were both very friendly, polite, knowledgeable, and most of all took time with both of my boys to get them shooting properly. Prices are very reasonable for the services they provide. I will definitely be going back !!
Bought a firearm from Josh. Great experience. Will be a returning customer!
This place is awesome! Its hard to find solid Bow Techs now a days and Nino hit it out of the park! Picked up a Prime CT9, transferred everything from my old target bow to the new one, paper tuned it (first shot was a bullet hole), fixed the peep twist, and overall made my experience excellent! Highly recommend them for all of your archery needs!
Purchased twice from this store and these guys are awesome. Nino took care of my bow needs expertly. Josh took care of my firearm needs with precision. Everyone in there treats you like youre old friends even though yall may have just met. The archery range is a great set up with extremely reasonable prices. They have a large selection and Black Rifle Coffee in stock! Locally owned which is an added bonus. My new go to for all my outdoor needs. Thanks guys.
Amazing service and price. They are super helpful, they actually care about your safety and select the right thing for you.Recommended you should go if you pretty much want individual service and care.
Amazing!! Best bow shop in Jacksonville! Wish I knew about it sooner!
Being new to archery and wanting a new recurve bow, we decided to come here to see their selection and get some advice. I felt very intimidated walking in because I really knew nothing. Tyler and Jason were SO helpful and friendly! We basically learned that we were doing everything wrong, even down to the arrows we were using. They tuned up my bow, and set my husband up with an awesome recurve bow. We got to test it out in their indoor range and it’s like night and day! We could see their love for the sport and it got us extremely excited about it too. Thank you for making us feel welcome!
My daughter decided she wanted to start shooting a crossbow. Decided to drop by and check this place out. The guys here were very helpful and knowledgeable. My daughter loves shooting her crossbow. They showed her how its done.
Well, rick from strike zone couldn’t fix and tune my bow despite his reputation. Bradly’s bow tech skills from green acres joke!!! Super frustrating to think this is Jacksonville’s pro shops and they can’t tune my set up lots of wasted time. But then something amazing happened, walked through the doors of this place and within 30 minutes nino had my bow shooting bullet holes in paper and whisper quiet !!! Great people, shop, and products. Hope to see these guys take over the outdoor culture in Jacksonville and Nassau County’s also I’m not a review guy and I was so impressed with this places style and business dealings here I am writing a review for them awesome shop there getting my $ from now on!!!!!
Great little store with nice people always willing to help you. Very nice supply of archery equipment
Archerys very therapeutic and there here to help your game check my target .... like Fred Bear used to say: Time to Relax
Jarin and Lance are absolutely great guys to Deal with. The help and services plus pure Knowledge are top notch. And all the staff are Warm and welcoming. Would give ten stars For these wonderful people. A big thanks to All for all the great service I have received.
Wish I wouldve known about this place sooner.. the staff is awesome and they have everything you could tell your wife you need and want.. Ill never spend another dollar in those wanna be outdoor stores. My time and money are better spent at southern sportsman
Awesome place. The staff was friendly and very helpful. I met and talked with owner as I was checking out. The firearms stock was limited, but they had some impressive firearms though. Ill definitely be back and happy to spend my money here. I ordinary find this place through the Black Rifle Coffee Company, they are a dealer for BRCC and they had my favorite blend in stock. Through enjoyed my visit.
Im new to archery so I needed a ton of help to get started. The guys at Southern Sportsman are super knowledgeable and helpful. They got me on my feet in the archery world. I got my bow set up and tuned to the measurements that fit me, my bow sighted, and many pro-tips to get my shot more consistent. Additionally, I have to give a special shot out to the guys Ive met there (Nino, Josh and Jason). Thanks fellas.
Great customer service and one on one attention. If youre looking for a firearm, ammo, or archery supplies, these guys have you covered!
Great shop! Great guys working today. Thanks!
Such friendly and accommodating people. I enjoy every visit.
Great customer service. Nice job guys
Awesome service and knowledgeable staff. Walked in with my bow I bought a while back fafrom another dealer and they helped me tune everything and change the peep sight within 10 minutes. By far superior to any other archery outlet in our area. Highly recommend you visit. Huge firearms selection as well.
Tyler and Lance are down to earth guys that have superior customer service. I was not rushed when purchasing my new gun, and felt as though I was apart of their family! Thanks again for helping me with my Springfield Armory XDS Mod 2 Purchase.
Outstanding selection and Customer Service!
Nino is gone. Where did he go? He helped me tremendously with my shooting skills. He didnt charge extra and would always give me pointers when he had the time. I would go to this store to buy my archery equipment because of the amazing service he provided. Without Nino I will shop around for the best price.
Purchased a 9mm AR from them for a great price. They are also very knowledgeable about the products they sell and don’t ignore you when you walk in (like some places)
Very helpful and friendly staff
Visited their booth at the Jacksonville gun show. Selected a gun for $219, which i mentioned twice while I was waiting for my background check to clear. They still charged me $224.99 (240.74 + tax). I never saw the total until I was handed my receipt which was conveniently placed in my bag.They were friendly so Ill give them 2 stars but the untrustworthyness keeps them from getting 5.They gave me a free shirt which I guess I paid forNow that I think about it, background check price. My fault, Im an idiot 5 stars
Best place Ive seen in years. Ive been hunting for 45years. Great place, they know what n there doing. And willing to help
Brought my first bow in to setup for me. Met the resident Bow Tech Nino. He set the bow up just right for me. Very attentive to detail. Gave very good advice. Ill definitely be back for adjustments, upgrades, and advice.
Great shop. Very organized shop and they have an indoor archery range. The staff is awesome!
These guys are so friendly! I came to their grand opening, and they were so nice and helpful. They said theyre focusing on the archery portion of their business for now, but they can special order guns, too. They have a shooting area for archery and they are planning on expanding what they have! Check this place out!
Very good selection for your fishing,hunting, firearms, and knife needs. Super knowledgeable staff, and they offer a lot of inhouse services. Highly recommend.
Nino is very knowledgeable about bows. Great instructor on how to use a bow and form. Originally gave a five star but changing because he didnt explain the importance of having a finger glove and let me fire for just over an hour without one. Now the tip of my ring finger has been numb for a solid 48 hours and may have to pay for a doctor visit because after these 48 hours my hand is starting to hurt more and it wants to stay closed and goes numb when i open it. DO NOT FIRE BARE FINGER. Get a release or a thick finger glove. Did not explain to me that for every 10lbs of weight you need an extra layer leather, had to google this information myself. Being my starter bow was at 20lbs should have recommended me a 2 or even 3 layer finger gloves as I had explained to him the last time I shot an arrow was when i was 5 or 6. That was two decades ago.
This place is great! I originally took an old Bear bow in to be restrung and adjusted for my draw length. It turned out that the old bow couldnt be adjusted short enough for my draw length. Nino helped me get into a new bow at a very competitive price! They helped me get the new bow adjusted and shooting right for me. Now Im going to be ready for deer season. Thanks again to Nino and the crew!
Love me some Southern Sports Outlet!!Jarin and the staff are good people and have greatprices!!
Excellent customer service. My wife is intimidated by guns but their salesman made her feel very comfortable while she held and learned about each type of pistol (I learned a thing or two myself). Prices are the best in the area. Will def be back for my firearm and outdoor needs.
Bought a new bow setup for my husband’s 50th birthday. Nino made it a great experience. Very knowledgeable & doesn’t push products on the customer just because they cost more or are the most popular.
My first time here and these guys are great I never felt rushed, felt very welcome I spent almost 3 hours here and they were very patient and answer all my questions allowed me to try out multiple guns multiple times felt like a group of friends rather then a company at the same time professional and respectable. I highly recommed this place to anyone wether you are new to the outdoors and an experience outdoorsman it’s a great company I will spend my money at and never regret it.
Nino did a fantastic job of restringing and tuning my bow. He is very knowledgeable and helpful . The entire staff was courteous and friendly .
What an awesome experience!! Great people and customer service from start to finish.
Very helpful. Very friendly. Great experience. Great service. 5 stars.
Knowledgeable, helpful staff!
Nino was awesome and very knowledgeable. Will go back again
This place is awesome! Nino the bow tech is the most knowledgeable person that Ive talked to here in Jax. I dropped my Mathews of for a new custom string and arrow rest. It was done exactly when he said. This bow has never shot this good. I also dropped of my new in the box Bear Torrix crossbow to have it put together and sighted in(Im just to busy with no time to do it myself) to make sure its ready for the season. Again, when I picked it up it was dead on and on time. I followed his recommendations on the rail lube and have been very pleased with the service and workmanship of this shop! I wont trust anyone else with working on my archery equipment, they are great!Thanks buddy!!!
Great guys with good communication skills and knowledgeable
Terrific experience, great knowledgable staff!
Great customer service, outstanding product knowledge, very quick and attentive. Ill be back!
Great staff, home town feel.
Awesome place and super helpful
Great place.
