Deer Season Has Officially Started
Deer season in California has kicked off and hunters across the state are heading out to their favorite spots. Whether you're hunting Zone A (which generally opens the first Saturday in August) or other general season zones opening later in the fall, now is the perfect time to make sure your gear is in top shape.
We’ve stocked up on non‑lead deer hunting ammunition to ensure you stay compliant with California regulations and head into the field with confidence. Looking for a specific caliber? Let us know – if we don’t have it, we can likely order it for you.
Dove Season Is Right Around the Corner
Dove season traditionally starts on September 1st in California, and it’s never too early to prepare. We Just got in some Kent Upland in 12ga and 20ga for your first hunt of the season.

Duck Season Follows Shortly After
California’s waterfowl season generally begins in late October, and we’re already preparing. We’ve brought in a fresh shipment of non‑lead steel waterfowl ammunition so you’ll be ready for the blinds. If you need specialized loads or a specific brand, just ask – we’re happy to order in exactly what you need.
New Rifles In Stock
We’ve expanded our rifle inventory just in time for the 2025 hunting season. Whether you’re looking for long‑range glass, lightweight mountain rifles, or a classic brush gun, we have new arrivals hitting the rack each week. As always, if we don’t have the exact model you’re searching for, we can most likely order it.
Fresh Shotguns for Upland & Waterfowl
New shotguns have also landed on our shelves, including options from both tactical and field lines. From 12‑gauge semi‑autos for waterfowl to lightweight 20‑gauge doubles for quail and dove, we have you covered. Special orders are always available if you don’t see the exact firearm you’re after.
