S&D Sporting and Outdoors

Hunting stores in Brooklyn aren’t exactly common, which makes S&D Sporting and Outdoors a rare find for those who prefer the woods to the city grid. The shop caters to a niche that’s often overshadowed by urban retail—hunters, campers, and outdoor enthusiasts who need gear that’s built for rugged use. No frills, just equipment meant to hold up when the pavement ends and the trails begin. It’s the kind of place where function takes precedence over flash, a practical outpost in a borough better known for its skyline than its tree lines.

The store sits at 7709 5th Ave, a stretch of Bay Ridge where the sidewalks still feel like Brooklyn but the horizon hints at the harbor. This part of the city has always had a slightly different rhythm—less about the next trend, more about the next season. Hunting licenses, ammunition, and cold-weather gear are the kinds of things you’d expect to find here, though the exact inventory is best discovered in person. No flashy signage or grand announcements, just a straightforward spot for people who know what they’re looking for.

Questions about availability or specifics? A quick call to (718) 836-1122 will get you answers without the runaround. The phone’s there for the same reason the store is—efficiency. No need to parse through layers of customer service when a direct conversation will do. It’s a refreshingly old-school approach in a city that often prioritizes digital over direct.

If you’re heading that way, the map will pinpoint the location better than any turn-by-turn could. Just don’t be surprised if you pass a half-dozen coffee shops before you reach it—this is still Brooklyn, after all.
