Not only is this a place to practice archery, it's a community. We really appreciate all the staff - Dan, Felix, Will, Tracy, Kelly, Scotty...etc. everyone played a big part of our journey here. Other friendly archers - Chris, Tom, Troy, Ted... who have shared their experience and knowledge with us. (Chris for teaching me so much!) Most of all, owner/mentor/coach Tom, he seriously is the best in the business, so down to earth and treats us like family. I will continue to bring friends here to try archery and continue to support them the best we can. If you're ever interested in archery, RMS is the place to be. Thanks Tom and team!!

My son and I began taking martial archery lessons at Golden Archery because I was looking for…read moresomething for us to do together that we both enjoyed, was active, and didn't involve electronics. Anyone with a video-game loving kid knows how tricky that can be. I am very happy that we discovered an opportunity to do something much more than just shoot arrows together. Golden Archery embeds archery into a larger framework of martial arts, drawing on both eastern and western traditions, creating something entirely unique. It's not just archery lessons, it's an entire learning process dedicated to giving you the tools for continued development and growth over a lifetime. The program Mr. Johnson has developed (and continues to refine with his impressive instructors and input from a variety of other martial artists) is a carefully thought out system of training, conditioning, and discipline with martial archery at its core. That discipline is an element that appealed to me strongly, both as a parent and an aspiring archer. You're not just plunking arrows into a target, you learn to focus your mind and body on a purpose, to hone yourself to that purpose over time, and see the results of your effort at the far end of the range. These are lessons applicable to a lot more than archery. I count myself lucky that we found Golden Archery, and I'm grateful we have the chance to work with the community of instructors and students there.

Love that they have a section for up to 40 yard distance if you are interested in trying. Rack for putting your bags/cases away and many picnic tables for rest, if needed between sets. We came on a hot summer day and the only thing was that most of the indoor range is not temperature controlled, no AC (only in the bathrooms did I feel the AC), no fan that's for use on the open side of the range. I probably could have gone and asked if we could turn on the fan on the closed half of the range but the employees were extremely busy with their customers on getting their compound bow ready for hunting season. I'd probably come back again when the weather cools down if I want to practice on a Sunday... overall a great spot but trying to stay cooler and not overheat during the Summer.

First visit was just a bow rental, but he took the time to answer questions and make me feel comfortable as a new archer. No rushing, no pressure. Second visit, Tristan helped me build and set up my first bow (Prime Ronan) along with arrows, sight, rest, and release. He didn't just sell gear -- he properly fit the bow, walked me through the setup, and even coached me on basic archery form and shooting tips that made an immediate difference. Spent about $1,400 and felt confident in every purchase. Knowledgeable staff, solid tuning, and a genuine focus on growing the sport. Highly recommend for beginners, bow setup, tuning, rentals, and upgrades. Ask for Tristan.

There is a reservoir you can walk around nearby and not sure what else is in the area. They do typically run loveland girl scout day camp here.

Bear Creek lake Park has a pretty fun archery range…read more You do need to purchase a daily pass 10.0p or an annual pass 80.00 to access the archery range. The archery range has a good mix of about 10 yd all the way out to 90 plus yards. On weekends it can get a little crowded and during the summer I can get pretty hot out there. So you definitely want to bring some water and hat. Archery bales are usually in pretty good condition, but some of them can get shot through so it doesn't hurt to bring your own target if you're worried about shooting through the target and destroying your arrows.

We held another family reunion here to commemorate the one we had 20 years ago. I'm going to share…read moremy experience and both positive and negative in hopes it's helpful info for other families planning a similar event. BOOKING AND RESERVATION PROCESS: 2 stars My brother booked and placed a substantial deposit over 2 years ago on a large reunion cabin and the adjacent large cabin. As the event neared, we met virtually with camp hosts who informed us that they can't guarantee we get the cabins we reserved. They'll "try," they said, but can't guarantee we'll get those adjacent cabins. Our only theory is the Y reserves the right to bump outsiders should an esteemed member want what we reserved. It all started off on a wrong foot, and combined with the impossible act of reserving additional cabins or rooms on April 1, when reservations open to the general public, it started to feel risky and like we made a bad choice. To me, it seems a reasonable add-on to the reunion booking process to allow us to book additional cabins in advance so we can find rooms for all family. Within minutes at 8:00 am on April 1, small cabins and most lodge rooms were snagged up. They also said we couldn't access the cabins until after 6 pm on arrival day. That meant we had to figure out a way to keep all of our food we purchased chilled until we could put it in our cabin's refrigerator. As it turned out, we did get the cabins we reserved/requested AND they were ready far earlier than our 5 pm arrival time. Total experience? Nerve-wracking. CABINS/ACCOMMODATIONS - 2 stars I get it - lots of large groups use this place. All the more reason to maintain them in a manner that is safe & comfortable for all. We had two sofas, one of which was unusable and a number of small issues that were eventually addressed. THE GOOD/POSITIVE: So much for youngsters to do, but be prepared to spend a lot of time driving kids back and forth to each activity. My "sense" was kids got to try a few new things, like horseback riding and archery, for an add-on fee. Good hiking trails. Downtown Estes (and an additional amusement park), are a short drive away in downtown Estes. Snack shop and little store on campus. All in all, maybe it's my age getting the best of me but I didn't find the accommodations very comfortable- just the 2 aforementioned couches, 1 of which was broken. All other chairs are wooden. So there's a point, as an adult, when the beauty of the mountains starts to wear thin when you're not as comfortable as you'd like to be. Bottom line? Go into it prepared. Try out a smaller cabin before opting to book for a huge reunion to make sure it will fit your family's needs. I wish they were a bit more accommodating and generous with furniture, etc., in their lodging. If you like Rustic, you'll love it here.
