Hunting & Shooting · Fishing · Alberta
A small-town hunting, fishing and gun store in Barrhead, Alberta, with a solid firearms and ammo selection, reloading supplies and friendly staff. Many customers drive out from Edmonton.
Kodiak Lake Hunting & Fishing is an independent outdoor store in Barrhead, and plenty of customers make the drive from Edmonton. Reviewers describe a well-stocked shop with firearms, including handguns, plus ammunition, harder-to-find reloading components, optics, archery gear, knives and fishing tackle.
Staff are the main draw. Customers say they're down to earth, knowledgeable and patient, and willing to check the back, order items in or match a big-box price. The shop will mount and bore-sight a scope you buy there, and extended warranties on optics are available at extra cost. Phone orders for ammo can be paid in advance and picked up.
Many reviewers say prices on guns and ammo beat the city stores, though a few find fishing gear a bit pricier, as you'd expect at a small-town shop.
A few negatives stand out. One customer says staff used the wrong screws on a rail mount and damaged a thread, another describes a steep restocking charge when switching a layaway rifle, and one had a warranty rod claim drag on. Check hours before driving out, as one reviewer found the posted Saturday hours were wrong.
