What visitors say
Gagnon Sports is a family-owned outdoor store in Oshawa that has been running since 1973. Reviewers describe a large, well-stocked space that some call a candy store for anglers, with gear from budget to high end, live bait, trolling tackle, ice fishing gear and electronics, plus firearms, ammunition and hunting accessories.
Staff get strong praise across departments. Anglers say they get honest advice on reels and setups, and hunters mention help patterning shotguns and fitting parts. Online orders are generally shipped quickly, and staff call if something is out of stock and offer alternatives. Several regulars have shopped here for decades and will drive a couple of hours to do it.
The indoor shooting range is a draw of its own. Groups, workplace outings and parent-and-child pairs describe range officers who are safety-focused, patient and funny, and packages let people without a licence try firearms under supervision. The store also runs seminars, such as turkey hunting, and periodic sales events.
A few reviewers find prices on the higher side, typical of a specialty store. One recent online customer had several items turn out to be unavailable after ordering, so it's worth confirming stock on bigger online orders. Parking is free and on site.
