Kentucky Hunting Stores — Frequently Asked

How many hunting and gun stores are in Kentucky?

Our directory lists 604 independent hunting, gun, and outdoor stores in Kentucky, 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 Kentucky cities have the most hunting stores?

Louisville leads with 27 independent stores, followed by Owensboro (13) and Elizabethtown (12).

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 Kentucky you can also sell gear you’ve outgrown.
