Pros
  • Courteous
  • Knowledgeable
  • Good communication
  • Professional
  • Cool old parts for sale
Cons
  • Not a lot of modern stock on hand
Don and co. were happy to work with me as a new customer. They special ordered what I wanted at a fair price and were great communicators, with no nonsense. If this is your LGS, don't hesitate to stop in.

The in-store selection is a bit thin, but they have access to all the usual manufacturers and distributors for ordering.
Don is a good person to work with.

  • good turnaround
  • straightforward
  • good owner
Cons
  • inventory
I've worked with Don for a number of years, it's always nice to go there. They are friendly, honest, and will do extra stuff to make you happy. Not much else to say. It's a smaller place, but in the area it's the place to go.
Recommended LGS!

I've only had good experiences with Shooter's: smithing, sight replacements, purchases and transfers.

Don always has good advice and is a patient and knowledgeable teacher. I learn something new nearly every time I visit.

Good prices and customer service. Feels like a LGS from yesteryear! A good thing.

I picked this place for an online FFL transfer, and I had a terrific experience. Don was super helpful from beginning to end. He communicated quickly via e-mail and phone, and was a great guy to talk to in person. The transfer went very smoothly with no issues whatsoever.
While I was there, I ran across a couple pretty rare rifle mags too. Definitely worth browsing here a bit!

Did a transfer there today. Don was friendly, helpful and knowledgable. The store had a decent selection of ammo and some really unique firearms for sale. I would definitely do business there again!

Johnny and I started competing in IPSC about the same time back in the early 80's. We soon discovered that we both had an interest in customizing 1911's . So we started doing so for others out of Johnny's garage. Johnny was always a stickler for precision fit of parts and checkering. He was always a perfectionist

We shot practical rifle, shot gun matches around the state together, and Johnny was always looking to improve his toys accuracy and reliability

We competed in the first paint ball competition together, before paint ball guns were designed. Think Nell spot for marking cattle and trees. Johnny had to make a gilly suit.

We belonged to a club mostly made up of OR. L.E agencies and shot at the old SE Oak and third Portland precinct basement range. Johnny could always come up with some interesting real life scenarios courses of fire.

We shot with some spec. guys from Fort Lewis at that range and one of them acreage that we'd set up jungle lane or picnicking with the family courses of fire. Johnny could always come up with booby traps along he trail.

I could go on but you get the idea

When I moved out of the area we dissolved the business ( Pale Horseman Inc) And lost track of John except to hear that he was one of the top cowboy shooters. I'm not surprised. He never could do things half way.

I see Johnny once in a while at the local Fred Meyers. He told me he's semi retired and his daughter is running the business

John has worked on four of my pistols over the past couple of years. In each case the work was very well done, reasonably priced and the communication was good.
