Sports Authority has a small selection I believe. However, you probably can't get to bad going to some of the big box stores online versions either.

If you're planning to hunt locally, you won't need any commercial type gear (Realtree, Mossy Oak, etc.). Surplus woodland BDU's and boots work just fine (or jeans and a t-shirt). For optics, I usually order online.

SA has really cut down their inventory...and what they do have usually doesn't blend with Hawaii's environment. Boots (when on sale) are probably the only thing worth picking up there.

For clothes I think you're kind of stuck with some place like Sports Authority.  If you're talking something along the lines of 5.11 there's a guy out by Ala Moana. 

Optics.........believe it or not, but Security Equipment has scopes that are pretty reasonably priced and they won't give you crap about being a non LEO.  OGC Tactical if you're looking for ACOGs (Aimpoint too?).  Power Edge Tactical if you're looking for Eotechs.  Young Guns has some stuff, but I think they're a bit on the high side for optics.

Boots..........never really looked for boots, dunno man, I'm sorry.

Remember when security equipment had the best selection of hunting clothes, boots and accessories?

tactical this and that. I think it is amusing to see so many "tactical" stores in the last few years.
Kind of like the whole "club" this and and that in the Koreamoku district.

Yeah I remember when Security used to be cool, now it's too much catering to the LEO's.  I also like the Armory way back in the day.

Yeah, I forgot about the armory. I loved that place.

My favorite gunstore used to be Wild West discount guns in Kaneohe.

Debbie was the absolute coolest. I used to hang out there for hours talking story.
