The Sportsman’s Guide Sale Dates (2025) | Year-Round Sales Calendar

The Buyer's Club costs around $30-50 per year and gives you 10% off most items and 5% off guns and ammo. Members also get free standard shipping on orders $49 or more, access to exclusive member-only deals, and the 4-Pay payment plan.

If you spend at least $300-500 per year at The Sportsman's Guide, the membership usually pays for itself through the shipping savings and discounts alone. Most members report that the combination of percentage-off pricing and free shipping makes it worthwhile.

The absolute best deals happen during the Summer Sale (June-August), which offers the deepest discounts of the year on ammunition and outdoor gear with savings up to 36%. Other great times include Labor Day weekend (up to 80% off select shooting gear), Black Friday/Cyber Monday (up to 60-70% off doorbusters), and January Winter Clearance (25-50% off winter gear).

Memorial Day, Fourth of July, and fall hunting season also bring solid deals across outdoor categories.

Free standard shipping is available only for Buyer's Club members on orders $49 or more. Non-members pay shipping fees that start at $14.99 and vary based on order size.

During major sales like Labor Day and Black Friday, they sometimes offer free shipping at lower thresholds (around $99+) even for non-members. Additional fees and surcharges may still apply to certain items like firearms and ammunition.

Returns must be started within 90 days of shipment. You can return items for a refund or merchandise credit, though shipping and handling charges are non-refundable.

Sportsman's Guide branded products (Guide Gear, HQ ISSUE, CASTLECREEK, HuntRite, Bolderton) have a lifetime guarantee against defects and come with free return shipping. All clothing and footwear also gets free return shipping.

Yes, they offer a Lowest Price Guarantee. If you find a lower advertised price on an identical in-stock item from qualifying competitors (Bass Pro Shops, Cabela's, Midway USA, Dick's Sporting Goods, REI, Academy Sports, Sportsman's Warehouse, Scheels, or Mills Fleet Farm), they'll refund the difference.

Price matches must be requested at time of purchase or within 10 days of placing your order. They don't match auction sites, marketplace sellers, or clearance/liquidation prices. The guarantee also doesn't apply during Thanksgiving through Cyber Week for any retailer.

The 4-Pay plan is available exclusively to Buyer's Club members on credit card orders of $150 or more. It splits your payment into four equal installments charged to your card over time, with no interest or fees.

This is especially useful for big-ticket items like rifles, optics, or large gear purchases where you want to spread the cost into more manageable chunks.

Buyer's Club members save 10% on most items and 5% on firearms and ammunition every single day. These discounts stack on top of sale prices, meaning during the Summer Sale or Black Friday you're getting the advertised discount plus your member percentage off.

When you combine the everyday discount with free shipping on orders $49+, member-only deals, and access to the 4-Pay plan, active shoppers typically save hundreds of dollars per year compared to regular pricing.

The Summer Sale runs June through August and consistently delivers the deepest discounts of the year on ammunition and outdoor gear, with savings reaching up to 36% on select items.

June and July are particularly strong for bulk ammunition deals. Buyer's Club members can stack their 10% everyday discount (5% on ammo) on top of Summer Sale prices, reducing per-round costs by an additional 15-20% compared to regular customers.

The clearance and “On Sale” sections are updated every Wednesday with new markdowns. Discounts typically range from 25-70% off on overstocked items, seasonal products, and surplus gear.

Major clearance pushes happen in January (winter gear), late summer (warm-weather items), and during seasonal transitions. If you check the clearance section weekly, you can catch fresh markdowns before popular items sell out.

Yes! Your Buyer's Club 10% discount (5% on guns/ammo) stacks on top of already-reduced sale prices. This creates compound savings that regular customers can't access.

For example, during the Summer Sale with items already marked 30% off, Buyer's Club members get an additional 10% off that sale price. Combined with free shipping on orders $49+, this stacking benefit is one of the biggest advantages of membership and can result in total savings of 35-40% or more on many items.
