Buds Gun Shop and Range Tennessee

Just spent 4 hours at Buds. I haven’t had that much fun in years. Amazing store! Selection of firearms and prices are unbeatable. The range is the best I’ve ever been to. Great selections of rental firearms at truly unbelievable prices. Far and away the best part of our experience was Connie and Andy. They went far above and beyond the call of duty, and made our experience unforgettable. Thank you Andy and Connie for being the hilight of our vacation. You both deserve a raise. Thank you. If you do anything in pigeon forge go to buds.

I went in today to find a holster for my pistol. Not much of a selection for holsters. I took the time to browse around and found they have very little in the store at all. A large portion is T-shirt’s and other “Bud’s” apparel. Not sure about the range, but if I’m shopping for a gun I have several other places I could go to with larger selections. As for customer service, when I shop I don’t like to be bothered and they never approached me. I’d say good on them. Let me shop, and I’ll ask if I want to see something.

Awesome shop. Having bought firearms from Buds online I definitely wanted to go to their store while on vacation in the smokies. Didn’t really expect to buy anything but to my surprise they had a Sig P365 they put out the night before, and an additional one at the gun range counter that they rent out. $10 to rent the gun and 10 rounds of ammo, they were even nice enough to give me 10 more rounds so my wife could shoot it too. So after that I went back to the gun counter and told them I wanted that gun and I had like 4 or 5 people helping me. They even fetched me a holster for it and a 12 round mag. Being an out of state resident I had to have it shipped to my local FFL but I also chose to put it layaway. They helped me through the whole process. Only issue was that most of my local FFL dealers had outdated info in the system, but they worked through that and called some places. Awesome experience with Buds! I would recommend to anyone.

Finally, a gun shop where the people selling rifles actually know about rifles. Very knowledgeable and friendly sales associates. With their great prices, large selection, and great staff how can you go wrong?

My wife has an interest in obtaining her carry permit soon so we visited Buds to try and see what type of handgun would be a good fit. We received excellent service at the sales desk. Handled and inspected several handguns. The sales guys even offered some sound advice on what type of handgun would be best. We visited the range twice that day, once to try out a handgun and again after we purchased the right handgun. Both times, my wife was instructed well on proper shooting techniques and instructions on handgun operations. The first time my wife has ever shot a handgun and thanks to the great treatment and experience she is hooked. We will be back to the range and will purchase more weapons from this Buds.
