We had planned to rent them but there wasn't any place in town that rents bikes for kids so they fill a great need in our community. We went back to buy children's helmets and learned that they also give them away but they were out at the time. What a community gift! I look forward to returning soon to learn some basic bike repair.

so here's the brutal truth John seems like a pretty knowledgeable guy. With that being said, I did…read morenot like the experience there. Especially being a beginner just getting into archery. anyways from my experience there John could really care less about you, me, or anyone else he isn't close friends with. he seemed in a hurry every time I went In to question about things like draw length, peep placement, poundage or really anything that took up his time. he was quick to dismiss questions, was not helpful and I felt like I was a burden asking him to do simple things like change draw length. even after buying a brand new bow which he most definitely over charged me for. All in all id say even with all the experience he may have it makes little to no difference when you've got bad customer service. I am very much under the impression he cares little about the help and satisfaction of his customers except like I said people he personally knows. I couldn't even get him to tune my bow even though I know something isn't quit right he was quick to dismiss me as whatever. So to sum it up if you're new to archery, thinking of getting into archery, or just want to check things out. DO NOT GO TO THE ARCHERY HUT. Go somewhere that's actually going to care about your over all experience and help you find what works best for you. if you don't you'll end up having to pay someone else to do all your bow set up for you. Because as far as im aware its common practice for whatever bow shop you by from to actually set your bow up according to you specifically. and not just let it go out straight off the rack.

They have pretty much what you need to make any flies, and if they didn't have certain items in stock they are more than happy to make a custom order. Mitch, perhaps the owner, was running the show. Super friendly and very knowledgeable. Prices are very reasonable with great varieties. Will definitely come back for future purchases.

My son really enjoyed the entire process of creating his custom gamblers and I went with the brown Mary Jane style. The shoes took about a week and a half to arrive. They use minimal packaging and paper to process requests. We were so impressed with the quality and craftsmanship of these shoes. They are unique and true to the size we measured using their downloadable guide. We put them on immediately and felt so comfortable from the first step. We feel grounded as well as protected from the elements while still able to wiggle and wriggle our toes with comfort. Just beautiful! Thank you Elves for making our first shoes amd know we will wear them proudly and happily. L.
