As a veteran, getting back into a gun store after being away for a while can feel a little different, but he made me feel comfortable and welcome from the start. I also want to give a big shout-out to their armorer for the work on my build. He completed the entire lower build and installed all of the California-compliant parts flawlessly, including the KLVRCO addition, which was only his second time installing one. Everything came out great and the function check was flawless. I really appreciate everyone at The Outdoorsman for making the whole process such a positive experience. As someone local to the area, I'm really glad to have a shop like this nearby. I'm very happy with how everything turned out and I'll definitely be coming back.

The bike he wanted was not assembled completely or properly. The original sales person said he wanted another associate, Donovan, to check the bike and make any necessary adjustments. Donovan did a complete inspection of the bike, finding several missteps by the person who had originally assembled the bike. However Donovan remained pleasant and informative and did not criticize the other staff member. He checked every feature on the bike and fixed any deficiencies. We appreciated his knowledge and professionalism.

As big as Dick's sporting goods is they only represent 14 percent of total sports equipment sales. That is because there are much better choices.

Went home and found same part on Amazon at 2 pieces for $14.99, or $7.50 per (see attached pics). I understand the need to support local brick and mortar retail and also am willing to pay a small premium for the convenience of obtaining a needed item "right now". However, this mark-up is straight up consumer gauging. Sure, they have every right to charge what they wish, but this doesn't work for me. How about you?

Renting a boat is a great way to explore Lake Cachuma! Cruising around the lake gave us a…read morecompletely different perspective, and it was a relaxing way to spend a couple of hours with family and friends. The boat itself was very easy to operate. Even if you've never driven one before, it's pretty straightforward--just steer and move forward or reverse. Before we left the dock, the staff thoroughly explained how to operate the boat and went over all the safety rules. The guys at the dock were friendly, patient, and very helpful, which made us feel comfortable before heading out. We rented a 12-person pontoon boat for $190 for 2 hours, plus a $15 fuel charge. A $750 credit card deposit is also required at check-in. The only downside was the rental process. We tried to rent a boat on Saturday around 11:00 AM, but were told there were no boats available. The staff simply told us to come back later but couldn't give us any estimate of when a boat might return. We came back again around 3:00 PM, and unfortunately there were still no boats available. Since rentals are by the hour, there should be an approximate return time for the boats so customers don't have to keep making unnecessary trips back to the rental office. Fortunately, we checked again on Sunday morning after checking out of our campsite and were finally able to rent a boat. Once we got on the water, everything went smoothly, and our entire group had an amazing time.

A few years ago, my buddy and I were regulars at Cachuma. Starting in late January and continuing…read morethrough April, we really enjoyed the early season crappie fishing. We would make about 6-7 trips each season where we rented a nice 4 passenger 6hp(?) v-hull boat for around $125. The rental process was quick, and the office and marina staff were friendly and efficient. They also posted regular fishing reports. Then it all changed. I believe a new vendor took over the boat rental operations and everything went downhill. The boat rental process became very long and tedious, and you had to watch a 15 minute "safety " video each time you rented a boat. The staff also turned over and gone were all the friendly and efficient people. At times there was only one person running the whole show. They had to handle all the paperwork/video process and then walk you down to the boat and get that started. It literally took about 30-40 minutes per boat. Also, all the v-hull boats were no longer available and the least expensive rental option was around $250. I really miss the great crappie fishing and the beautiful surroundings. I hope that one day the marina will be back to what it was.

It tasted like a syrupy waffle. I also liked how smooth the ice cream was. What I didn't like about this was how hard it was though. I was given a plastic spoon to eat this with and it was hard to take spoonfuls of the ice cream to the point that I was afraid the spoon might break. I'm wondering if this is because it's a nitrogen-infused ice cream. Regardless of the texture, this was still a good ice cream. Additionally, the service was pretty good and there's some seating inside the store or out in the courtyard.
