Luckily, a quick Yelp search told me there's a few more locations along the way to our destination. I've been wanting binoculars, and came across one made by Vortex, which is a company I favor for sights. It's a fantastic brand with a lifetime warranty! I was able to pick up some 38 specials much cheaper than in my home state, and without the stupid background check fee and additional 11% firearm tax. I loved that I could go up and down the aisles and pick out what I wanted myself. I was hoping to find some CCI for my picky Walther, but came up short. No worries as I have another week and a half to collect ammo. The clerk helping me was super friendly! I am not sure I am ever coming back as I am currently on the cross-country trip of my lifetime, but I will definitely look for the chain along my route. Pros: - friendly - well-stocked - clean restrooms Cons: - much smaller than the Utah location - parking is tight at this location (we are in a huge RV) - firearms are still to your states' red tape (it's silly when a Constitutional RIGHT is trumped by state laws instead of governed by federal)

I recently called the Outfitter that Brian said I was booked with and the guy had never heard of me. He went on to say that he stopped doing business with Brian because he wasn't getting paid. He told me to watch out because Brian writes bad checks. I called Brian and told him that I wanted my money back. I told him that I wanted a certified check not a personal one. After waiting for a week, I got the check which was a personal one not certified. I went to the bank to deposit it and I was told that he didn't have the funds in his bank to cover the check he gave me. I've tried calling him numerous times but he won't answer his phone!

I had heard about Scheels for years but never stepped inside one. A friend of mine from Minnesota…read moreused to drive past the huge Scheels billboards whenever I visited, and for some reason I assumed it was more of a farm supply type place where people bought machinery and work clothes. Because of that completely wrong assumption, I never bothered to go in. Fast forward a few years and after reading the reviews here in Colorado I finally decided I had to see it for myself. Yesterday, March 6th, the weather was miserable. Cold, windy, light snow and rain. Not the kind of day you want to be outside, let alone skiing. So I figured it was the perfect day to finally give Scheels a try. I ended up spending five hours in the store and taking more than 250 photos, and this place absolutely blew my mind. There were sports and equipment sections I didn't even know existed. The store truly has everything you could possibly need and then some. What impressed me most was the staff. They were knowledgeable and helpful but didn't hover every five seconds like some stores do, which allowed me to really explore and absorb everything. The shoe selection was outstanding with every kind of running shoe, ski boot, work boot and outdoor footwear you could imagine, and the shoe staff were clearly well trained helping customers. I also spent about 45 minutes in the luggage section, which was surprisingly impressive. It's clearly a curated department run by someone who truly understands travel. I spoke with a luggage specialist who I believe is from Asia and a serious world traveler herself. She was incredibly knowledgeable and immediately understood what I meant when I told her I was tired of hard-sided luggage and wanted something built for an active lifestyle. She introduced me to a beautiful 100-liter Patagonia rolling duffel with durable wheels, strong zippers, and soft-sided construction that can actually handle real travel. These types of bags come with lifetime guarantees on the wheels and zippers, and now I'm officially saving my pennies to buy one. The store itself was alive and buzzing with families, couples, hunters, skiers and outdoor enthusiasts everywhere. The only section that felt a little thin was the women's golf apparel where most of the XS sizes were gone, while the men's golf section was very well stocked. Parking was plentiful and easy. Scheels isn't just a sporting goods store. It's an experience.

Colorado gifts, Denver broncos, nuggets, and avalanche collectibles. Hunting, fishing, guns, ammo, knives, barbecue supplies, a sportsman's dream come true. I was blown away by the customer service, kindness, and kindness professionalism of these owner-operators. I just wish it were a little closer to my house.

My local store is the original location in N Fort Collins, so that's what I will review here. They must treat their employees well, because many of them have been there a long time, and they have a wealth of knowledge (vs that national recreation equipment store that shall not be named, where employee turnover is huge). JAX focuses on the higher end of clothes, shoes, and equipment; if that's your focus, start here as their selection is big and high quality. I do a lot of backpacking, kayaking, and canoeing, and they are the place I start first. If they think I should look at something they don't have, I've been impressed over the years that they will suggest another store such as some of the sports stores in Boulder. From JAX over the years, I've purchased sleeping pads, daypacks, packs for month-long expeditions, boots and shoes for climbing, hiking, winter mountaineering, raft trips, and general around town. They helped me get a special long fiberglass kayak paddle, and a pair of small ultra high-end binoculars needed for a specific trip. Plus climbing gear, alpine and nordic ski stuff (though their selection of skis is limited), a wide variety of flies and nymphs, and helped me figure out a super small, lightweight gun sight. I could go on and on. Bottom line - try them, you'll like them.
