Hunting & Shooting · Ontario
A large Toronto-area hunting, fishing and camping store known for deep firearm, knife and outdoor stock and helpful staff, though a handful of shoppers report brusque service on trades and phone enquiries.
Al Flaherty's is a big, well-stocked outdoor store serving the GTA, and the range is what most reviewers talk about first. Shoppers describe finding firearms, ammunition, camping gear, clothing and a notably strong knife selection, and several say it's the only place that had what they were after in stock.
Most customers rate the staff as friendly and knowledgeable, and one noted that they actually pick up the phone to answer questions, which isn't always the case at other GTA shops. A long-time customer brought in a shotgun with a stuck ejector on a busy Saturday and had it sorted on the spot. Prices are generally described as fair to good.
The online store gets steady praise too. Several out-of-town buyers ordered knives and gear by mail and found communication clear and shipping fast, which makes it a practical option if the drive is long.
Not everyone leaves happy. A few recent reviewers found staff curt, including one who felt lowballed on a firearm trade-in and another who couldn't get a straight answer about the condition of a high-end scope over the phone. One online shopper warns that shipping insurance is added automatically at checkout, so review your cart before paying.
