First time ordering offline. Went to pick up bow that I bought. Saw a archery sign in back. Walked back and asked older gentleman is this where you pick up a bow. He was very rude and grouchy, said no we don't have bows back here. Walked up front for help,I finally saw a sign that said pick up. Cashier was super nice and very helpful. Guy in archery needs to be a whole lot more nicer to people. Your job is to help the public, not piss them off. Cashier young lady was awesome.

Purchased a safe today. It was missing a leg. Called and talked to the manager and asked if he could take leg off of the display model as we bought the last safe that was in stock, he stated the display safe was "owned by Redfield" so he couldn't and he said there is nothing he can do but it has a warranty so we should contact Redfield. Looked into contacting Redfield and discovered they don't have a website or a way to contact them because Academy Sports owns Redfield as of 2021. Basically being given the run around.

If you can't find it you probably don't need it. Large variety of sports equipment, clothing and gear. Friendly, helpful staff.

I am not a negative reviewer—or usually a reviewer at all—but I had such a disappointing experience tonight trying to buy a new bicycle. The first two staff members who helped me were super friendly. They aired up the tires for me, took it up front, and were very nice when I checked out!Unfortunately, the bike I purchased IMMEDIATELY had problems upon walking out of the store. Before I drove off, I took it for a small test ride in the parking lot. Low and behold, the gears wouldn’t shift properly, the chain kept catching, and the wheels were already squeaking. I don’t think it was assembled properly/something happened when it was on display.This is obviously very frustrating for a brand new purchase! I walked back in to return the bike and accessories I bought ($300+ worth), and the second cashier was INCREDIBLY condescending. I tried to tell him the bike had issues, but his only response was that “buyers remorse is nothing to be ashamed of, ma’am” :| I don’t think he listened at ALL when I tried to explain why I brought it back so soon. I got my money, so whatever…but I really didn’t appreciate being dismissed like that. It will probably go back on the floor in that condition because he clearly didn’t take me seriously.2 stars because most of the staff has been pretty friendly every other time I’ve gone there. Unsure what was wrong with the bike, so make sure to test ride before purchasing.

I always find the best sales here. There was a $350 TNF jacket I've been wanting. Went on sale there at %60 off. I got it for $140.

Pretty cool place. You can get your Meat Church seasonings, ammo, and shoes all in one spot.

This place has it all.....but good service. On April 29th 2024 at 5pm I stopped in to pick up a knee brace, golf tees, and gloves prior to working out. While several us waited in line at register #1, 3 employees standing in the exiting isle wouldn't break conversation to wait on any of us until someone demanded help. Your employees are trained to say they are short staffed and I have heard it every time I've been in there but in reality they are lazy. At this time mentioned above you will find 2 boys hiding in the golf section, 1 working register #1, and 3 in a conversation while nearly 30 people are roaming your store. Sports Academy is the Walmart of sporting good stores when it comes to customer service. Good luck

This store was absolutely fabulous! They gave us a discount that we couldn’t get anywhere else on a bulk purchase of bicycles for the Martin County Christmas Toy Store. We purchased 42 bikes and will donate these and more to our local kids. We really appreciate what Chris Herbert and his staff did to support kids in Martin County! White River Masonic Lodge #332

Very large store with a lot of variety and a ton of options. Sporting goods/gear.BBQing, camping, guns, and accessories/gear. Clothing, shoes, boots and more.Pricing is average. I have found many items priced higher than those found on Amazon.If you are looking for something that is sports or outdoor related, you have a high probability of finding it here.

We went to Academy Sports in Evansville IN looking for a heavy duty beach cart. We were greeted with a friendly smile from a gentleman attending the door, and he was also very helpful in navigating us to where the beach carts were located. There were 3 choices from lightweight to heavy duty with a cooler. We liked the XL MULTIPURPOSE WAGON with Built In Cooler (with drain) and adjustable drop tailgate (with decent hardware) The tires are hard plastic but seem to be sturdy and thick.(Can see them being replaced with some rubber ones down the road if the plastic ones don’t hold up) We wanted to see the item out of the box to see how sturdy it was. CHRIS opened the box and expanded the accordion frame of the cart to open it, showing us where to secure the straps for folded up position or open/locked position. The maneuverability of this cart is Very Good, the front wheels are closer together than the rear wheels and the handle telescopes (but the little bracket that’s supposed to hold the handle doesn’t hold it in place. A bungee cord will come in handy here)The Beach Cart has a galvanized finish and seems to be well made. It’s huge and would probably hold 2-3 kids , though it’s advised not to use it for this purpose. It’ll hold all your beach gear in the cart plus has two drink holders on either side of the handle, has mesh pockets inside the cart, has Velcro straps to hold your beach umbrella (6.5’) on the outer side, and the tires are about two inches wide so it’ll make it easier to pull through the sand. The cooler is removable and is located at the inside front of the cart, it has an easy access flap on the zippered lid and a drain spout with attached plug on the lower right. VERY HANDY!Overall we are very pleased with our purchase and the looks/ feel of the cart, and very pleased with our experience with CHRIS and the Door Greeter who were both very helpful.We’ll update our review after our upcoming beach trip!

Three guys standing at the gun counter registers with zero customers and refused to check me out with the ammunition I was purchasing. Poor customer service.

Very nice and clean but like everywhere else had 1 register open. I refuse to use self check out without getting a discount. Lol The price of things keep going up but customer service continues to decline. Overall great store a little high priced in my opinion but all these sporting stores are. Ended up just sitting my items down and leaving because I waited 20 mins and the line didn't move. I'm aware someone has to reshelf it but they had 3 workers just standing by door greeting people and 1 checking people out. 🙄

We were looking for a PowerWheels ride on for my Grandson. 1 employee who helped us was not very helpful at all but then DRAKE came and assisted up. Drake went above and beyond to help us with our purchase and helped load it in the truck as well. Academy needs more employees just like Drake.

The cashier on lane 6 who checked me out at 13:53 1/16/23 have zero customer service skills. Bending over on his phone the customers didn’t even know he was open until saw the light and I followed after. I thanked him for my receipt and he completely ignored me just nothing. Need to find people who want to work with customers. On another note I did find what I was looking for thank you guys very much ❤️❤️

They have a nice variety of outdoor and sporting items. Their ammo is reasonably priced and they frequently have good sale items. I regret that they have apparently discontinued the sale of the more rare 25 and 32acp ammo.

The cashier we had, Jayden, was so incredibly rude and unprofessional, it's not even funny. She gave us dirty looks the entire transaction and acted like we offended her when we said no to the store credit card. Sweetie, we're not going to give you the credit for opening another card with a customer. I hope you get fired. I don't care if you hate your job, that's not the customers problem. Don't make them feel uncomfortable while spending almost $1000 at your store and almost tell you to cancel everything.

First time checking this place out... Totally awesome! Huge selection of sporting goods and apparel, with an alarming amount of their stock on clearance or half price! I could easily spend a lot of money there. Call me Arnold, 'cause I'll be back. Ugh. Sorry about that one. Straight from my brain and onto your plate.
