Connecticut Hunting Stores — Frequently Asked

How many hunting and gun stores are in Connecticut?

Our directory lists 241 independent hunting, gun, and outdoor stores in Connecticut, based on May 2026 federal firearms licensing records. We only count storefront retailers — national big-box chains and home-based license holders are excluded.

Which Connecticut cities have the most hunting stores?

Bristol leads with 8 independent stores, followed by Wolcott (8) and Danbury (6).

Why does this directory exclude Bass Pro, Cabela’s, and Academy?

You already know where the big-box stores are. This directory exists to surface the independent local shops — the counters where you get straight answers, gunsmithing, and gear picked for the country you actually hunt.

Can I buy used hunting gear online instead?

Yes — Second Nature is a marketplace for used hunting gear from verified sellers, with buyer protection and shipping included. It’s a good way to stretch your budget on premium brands before you drive to a shop, and if you’re in Connecticut you can also sell gear you’ve outgrown.
