Rentals for both of us along with a 2-hour slot on the indoor range was about $40. SUPER reasonably priced. While I would prefer an outdoor range, I enjoyed our time here. This was my second time shooting a traditional bow and I had a blast. I did, however, have a HORRIBLE bruise on my arm after our time there. I used the arm guard provided with our rental, but it was a soft guard. Now, I know I need to use a hard guard every time I do archery. I would, absolutely, go back for another session. Archery is so much fun and easy to learn for beginners. If you have ever been curious, this is a great place to try your luck at a new hobby.

Meanwhile, there were three cash registers open but only that Lady doing licenses. I left and went to Walmart and was done almost immediately. That alone really isn't the reason I'm writing a review. Mostly why I'm writing a review now is a lot of the staff there is snarky. I don't like that. The store itself is also generally overpriced. A horrible combo. Again yesterday the lady was snarky. The last time few times I was in there it's been similar- just doesn't get better. It's the same faces with the same poor attitudes. I will say that the older gentleman that cashiers has a great attitude. Guess I'll just have to plan better and get nearly anything i can buy in the local outdoors store at Amazon in the future. Sad that my neighborhood outdoors store that I try to support can't be bothered.

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.

The staff here is wonderful and there is even the Rustic Cafe inside the registration building to grab a quick bite all day. The YMCA backs up to Rocky Mountain National Park and the entire place is easy to navigate. If you want something out of the ordinary but in-line with history, check out the Lula W Dorsey museum which is also on campus and see all the history the Y has had to offer over the last 100+ years! This is a great place to unwind and really connect with nature. If you have ever heard of shrinyoku (forest bathing), this is a place to do it. Wildlife will hang around here at all times of the morning and later in the evening too. Most of all experience it all and make memories!

I wanna give a very special shout-out to Devo Mireles (Baseball/Softball Manager - 117898). Our daughters both just started competitive travel ball/club teams as opposed to just rec fastpitch softball. We went in looking for a bat that we could afford and that would be durable, and the perfect fit for each of our girl's swing styles. He introduced us to all the bats in stock and let us know that they do have a demo bat program to help with our budget for all the other gear we need! Competive level softball gear adds up quick! Devo took his time and made my girls feel confident in each bat they selected in a doable budget for us. Based on my description of needs, he helped me pick out two handfuls of bats for each girl to go try in the batting cage. He was so patient, and kind! He didn't just sell us bats, he gave my girls very valuable feedback on their batting stances, aim, and body mechanics while swinging. Because of Devo the girls were not nervous to keep trying the bats and didn't get bored with the process. He helped them each find different bats in the perfect sizes and weights for each of them! They also left with some free pointers that will be very helpful this season and educated us parent's, as well. Thank you Devo, you're the man to lead that department for sure.! We will be back to see you, I am sure of it. P.s: Give Devo a raise haha -Jess Case and Jason Case from cheyenne, Wy.

He needed some arrows and so we went to Archery Depot because they're basically next door and a specialty archery store sounded great. We were not disappointed! The owners are super friendly, knowledgeable, willing to shoot the breeze, answer questions, and generally make you feel welcome; the shop dog helps with the welcoming feel as well. They have a small, indoor shooting range as well which they'll let you use for a small fee with your own equipment or for free if you're testing out equipment you're looking to buy. If they don't have what you want/need, they'll order it for you (pay in advance because...obviously) and they'll get it within 2 business days. My spouse ended up buying some custom arrows from the shop, which he got custom fletched, and they told him that the other sporting goods store he went to in order to have his draw weight measured it wrong by 10lbs! They also put a notch on his bowstring for him for free and helped him shorten his string, which apparently came too long for his bow. The excellent customer service experience provided by Archery Depot would make me recommend them to anyone in need of archery supplies.
