JAX Ames Outdoor Gear

Had a D string put on my bow. It took about 5 minutes, and I was only charged $5.00. Excellent service and very knowledgeable people. This is the place to go for all your outdoor needs.

Outstanding Store! If your into the outdoors, this is the store for you, fast friendly knowledgable employees, vast inventory, great location, plenty of parking too. Hunting, fishing, camping, hiking, just about everything is waiting for you here...

Probably the best fishing store in a couple hundred miles. Better trout selection than most shops out west. Helpful and knowledgeable staff.

I came in to buy some new apparal after christmas and was helped by Carli. She was super helpful and friendly and i bought a new hiking outfit that I am super happy with! I highly recommend jax!

This store is hidden treasure. I have lived in Ames for more than 10 years and it was first time to step into the store after knowing they sponsored the climbing competition at ISU. Found two fabulous climbing shoes for my 7 years old and my 4 years old. The person who helped me was very knowledgeable and very patient. The price is very competitive. I would highly recommend this store to everyone in town. Great selection and great service!!!!!! We need to support this fabulous local store. Told my husband that I am going to buy stuff from here from now on for my outdoor and climbing needs!!!!

A genuinely good outdoors store with decent pricing. This place slaps and I'll definitely buy here before a large retailer. Shop small, F Walmart.

Jax is my first choice for all my hunting/outdoor needs. Great staff Great selection and usually cheaper than BassPro
And they're local!
Glad they're in ames

Great store, massive diversity in merchandise from what I expected with the size of Ames. I never write reviews but Ames JAX is worthy of 5 star! I shopped for shoes and outdoor gear. Every staff member I talked to was so helpful, and I learned best shoe sizing, brand recommendations, shoe care, and type of shoe based on my needs. I wanted to take time to think about purchasing a pair of hiking boots after trying several types on and was told they hold your pairs you tried on for up to 2 days so you don’t need to worry someone will snag your pair (even a clearance item) before you take time to think about it. I ended up coming back the next day to buy the pair I wanted.

Will definitely be back and they have my full recommendation for everything outdoors.

This is THE outdoors store in Ames.

Fishing, hunting, archery, camping, army surplus, canoeing, EVERYTHING. It's so well stocked!

Staff is friendly and knowledgeable.

We are so lucky to have this store in Ames, Iowa. Everything outdoors, great selection, great sales staff

Very helpful staff. Greeted by staff almost immediately after entering store. Clerks were responsive to questions I had and when I contacted them by email, I heard back very quickly. Andy and his team provided personalized customer service. On the products I was shopping for, prices were as good as online and better than the big box stores.

Great pricing, and the staff was spectacular. Just the interactions with staff members in 3 visits has made this my preferred location for sporting goods.

Great selection of Cub Scout items, disc golf discs, etc

Been coming here for 15+ years for all my outdoor gear needs. There's always great sales and a really nice selection of clothing. There are two different buildings, one for clothing and one for camping gear. Love this place! Shop local and try JAX instead of giving huge corporations like REI your money!

Andy is fantastic service is outstanding.
