A small-town hunting, fishing and outdoor supply store in Kent (Agassiz area), BC, loved for friendly, knowledgeable staff, fair prices and PAL courses, with some complaints about its online gun auctions.
Kent Outdoors is an independent outdoor store in the Kent area of the Fraser Valley, handy on the way to Harrison. Visitors describe the kind of do-everything shop that's getting hard to find: hunting and fishing gear, flies, knives, firearms and ammunition, military surplus, camping gear, clothing, backpacks, gold prospecting supplies and even books and coffee. It also takes consignment and sells used goods.
The staff and owner are the big draw. Reviewers describe them as honest, patient and happy to ask questions before recommending anything, with local knowledge on lakes and bait. Fishing licences are issued quickly in store. Several shooters mention fair gun counter prices, with some saying they beat the big chains, and one angler had a scope fitted, machined and blued for a very reasonable price. PAL and hunting courses and layaway are offered too.
It suits local hunters and anglers, first-time firearm buyers, and travellers heading into the Harrison and Fraser Canyon country who need a licence, bait or a forgotten piece of kit. Some customers drive out from the Tri-Cities to shop here.
Most complaints involve the store's online auctions rather than the shop. A recent buyer says a rifle sold as functional had a broken safety and a refund was hard to get, and another found auction shipping slow and costly. One shopper also had trouble returning a small item. If buying through the auction, ask detailed questions about condition and shipping first.
