Sportsman's Rack opened in 2014 and has become Rochester's reliable source for quality sporting goods at affordable prices. The business is run by Chris Klingele and Jeff Springer, both active hunters and outdoorsmen who participate in waterfowl, deer, turkey, pheasant, and small game hunting—plus fishing, shed-hunting, hiking, boating, and camping.
"Sportsman's Rack is a store for the average sportsman."
Their mission is straightforward: outfit fellow outdoorsmen with new and quality pre-owned clothing and equipment without breaking the bank.
