Shooters Haven
An independent Edmonton gun shop with a range and firearms courses, praised for friendly, knowledgeable staff and fair ammo prices, though one recent buyer questioned the condition of a new rifle.
What visitors say
Shooters Haven is a small, independent firearms shop in Edmonton that also offers range services and firearms training. Reviewers keep coming back to the same point: it feels like an old-style community shop rather than a big-box store, and the staff make first-timers feel welcome.
Service gets most of the attention. Several customers describe the team as patient and well informed, happy to answer questions without pressure. One buyer had an online account approved on a Sunday and a quick reply over Facebook while tracking down a hard-to-find rifle. Another needed emergency firearm storage after a flood and said staff sorted it within minutes, at a lower fee than elsewhere in the city. Scope mounting also gets a good word.
The shop suits both new and experienced shooters. A couple took their non-restricted licence course here and rated the instructor highly for knowledge and energy. Regulars mention a good shotgun selection, unique items worth browsing, and ammunition that is often cheaper than the big chains.
The ratings are overwhelmingly positive, but a recent visitor bought a rifle sold as new and found it heavily fouled once home, suspecting it had been fired far more than a factory test. The shop's reply was that new rifles are test fired and not cleaned before shipping. It's worth inspecting any new firearm closely at the counter, including down the barrel, before you leave.
