Sporting goods stores

[The 'Hummer']

I have a plans to go and visit a buddy in Terrace. I was wondering if in the Terrace/Kitimat area or on the way in there if there are any recommendations on sporting goods store or gun stores I should, visit, especially in the Terrace area.

I would assume you are going via 97 and out thru Prince George? Lot of places on the way there. You have Wholesale in Langley now, Hub in Abbotsford, Chilcotin in Wms Lk, E&I in PG. Don't remember the name of the one in 100 mile, possibly Exeter? And I haven't stopped in Quesnel for a long time, don't even remember what was there.

Thanks for the suggestions. The main area I was interested in is the Terrace, Kitimat and perhaps even Smithers and as far out as Rupert.

I reside on the island and a half hour north in Naniamo there's a WSS. When up in the Williams Lake area visiting my son in Horsefly, I've stopped in at Chilcotin Guns.

I went to high school in Quesnel, a few years back. On one of my last visits to the area I stopped in at a sporting goods shop on the south end of town, located on the right just prior to heading down the hill into Quesnel. Can't remember the name of it though.

Just returned from our visiting excursion to the B.C. interior, the Terrace area to be exact. Actually we went as far as Prince Rupert and on the way there and back, I stopped in at a number of sporting goods shops some of you have mentioned. Didn't get to them all but was pleasantly suprised by most of those I did get the chance to do a little shopping in.

On the trip in, the first stop was at Omineca Source for Sports in Vanderhoof where I picked up a pair of Buck knives I'd been looking for.

Next, while visiting in Terrace, I was 'introduced' to the Misty River Tackle & Hunting Shop where I acquired a new RCBS AmmoMaster Chronograph, that I've been"needing" for a while now. I had a long chat with the shop owners, Brian & Kathy Patric. Very nice people. Oh, I got a kick out of the logo in their window, "The Best Little Lurehouse in Terrace" .

On the return trip, going through Prince George I stopped in at Bon Voyage Sports. Nice shop but now where near the volume and variety of goods I'd seen at the other shops so far.Much the same at Franks on the south end on the way through Quesnel.

Coming through Williams Lake, heading for a visit with our son at Horsefly, I stopped in at Chilcotin Guns and found a couple of boxes of 30 cal Barnes 180gr TTSX.
Now, home sweet home and start playing with the toys.
