When I go to RMSS I know I'm supporting local people and local business, in turn they treat me like a good customer.

The store was basically empty, and they asked me to come back on a slower day. I wasn't impressed with their unprofessional appearance, customer service, or their knowledge of the guns they were selling. Everything was also overpriced compared to other gun stores. I won't be giving them any more of my time and I would not recommend this business.

Brick House Guns' storefront gives the impression of a small on-hand inventory, but such is not the…read morecase. First a couple of supernumerary positives: Family-owned (and the family is friendly, knowledgeable, genial). Three dollars is donated from each gun sale to a local charity each month (currently listed: Zac's Legacy Foundation, Boys & Girls Club of Weld County, Santa Cops of Weld County, and Greeley Firefighters Benevolent Fund). A short chat convinced me of their expertise "in all makes, models, and types of guns," from before 1917 to the most current available, and that's saying a lot. Brick House Guns offers a 2% discount for single moms, active & retired police officers, military and first responders. Fortunately, Greeley's police while not enthusiastic over private gun ownership, and the Weld County Sheriff's Department which recognizes the value of a qualified armed citizenry, do not sit on applications like the police in Berlin Township, NJ, whose dilly-dallying cost Carol Bowne her life. So while you are in a citizen-friendly, human rights friendly state (more or less), if you are a single mom, Brick House Guns could be a step in protecting yourself and your children. "Family-owned" means twofer - if you're more comfortable speaking with a woman, this is the place to come. (imho) I was surprised at the variety of Brick House Guns' inventory. I saw what looked like a 1917 German Luger, a "Tommy Gun" of some sort, many choices from inexpensive entry-level revolvers to guns of modern materials, as well as rare collector items. I have not bought anything here, but given the warm welcome, the remarkable expertise and knowledge of the owners, if I were to buy a firearm, I would give due consideration to this local 10th Street business. Asked if "good for kids?", I decided that this establishment is "okay for kids." It's a bit like a gun museum. The owners can talk history and manufacturing if that is what the kids are interested in. The owners can also give names of responsible instructors to parents when they decide it is time for their children to learn the fine arts of competitive shooting, recreational shooting, ceremonial use, collecting, hunting, assembling, 80%ing, detaining home invaders, preventing crime, self-defense, family-defense, and overcoming hoplophobia.

They even had a Colt Single Action Army, " The Peacemaker," from 1871! I told these folks that I didn't know much about guns and wanted one for home defense. They asked a few questions like my familiarity, needs, etc. I was there for half an hour and they were very knowledgeable and help full. Most of their guns are used but they are Federally verified not be involved in crimes, which I guess if you get some from some place that doesn't do this and those weapons were used to kill someone you can be charged with accessory to murder. news to me. I recommend this place.

Pros : -Climbing options were good. There are a large variety of ropes to choose from. -There are 4 autobelay options I believe -There is also a lead climbing area. -Of course there is also a bouldering area which seemed like quite a few choices, but they were busy working on it today so there was not much of it open to use. -They have some sinks out by the climbing wall so you can go wash your hands and not have to take off all your gear in order to wash your hands. Cons: -Price! holy smokes $46 for me and my daughter climb for 2 hours. Yikes!!! this is more than i pay for my gym membership for my entire family for a month......... That does not include gear rental either as we have our own so we didn't need any of theirs. If you want or need gear it will be more. -You will need to fill out the waiver upon entering not a big deal but their ipad system makes it a little tough to get through. -If you want to do more than bouldering you will need to take a test for top rope and also watch a video for autobelay. Okay fairly standard. However, they failed to mention until after I paid that 1. they were working on the bouldering wall so not much available there. 2. The guy couldn't leave the front desk and no one else was available so can't do the auto belay training either If a good chunk of things are not going to be an option and obviously we are not a regular maybe make sure you let people know BEFORE they pay. We did do the top ropes test. It will take between 5-15 minutes depending on you. I just felt jipped because we did not have the option of using anything and I paid what I felt like was a LOT of money! They could have at least told me upfront that hey you wont be able to use the auto belay and a lot of our bouldering is tore up so probably can't use a lot of that either. I may have made a different decision and went elsewhere. Anyhow. I guess my impression from last time 2 years ago about to this time was not much different.

Whetstone Climbing is a new climbing gym in the Fort Collins/Loveland area. The facilities are…read moremodern and there is a very ample amount of space for sport climbing, bouldering, and working out. I very much enjoyed my experience at Whetstone and I thought the service and amenities were good. The overall setting was decent. Expect slightly stiffer ratings than other gyms in town but still not overly so. One slight concern I had if I were a regular would be the route turnover- it did not seem to be the same as Ascent, the other gym in town and routes stayed up a bit longer. I think the setting at Ascent is maybe a little better but it's hard to really tell given I only climbed 8 sport routes here vs. years at Ascent. The rates seem fair. $17 for a day pass is cheaper than superior gyms down in Denver. Membership rates seem about the same as Ascent and if I were living in Fort Collins, I'd likely just go to whichever gym was closer to where I lived. The community is friendly and I thought the idea of a bar/coffee area is smart. Definitely hope that Whetstone succeeds as a gym.

Pros: The group booking process was easy and the staff was super friendly and accommodating for our big group. Upon arrival the presentation was organized and thorough, especially the video that covers all of the safety instructions. Shop is big, with two restrooms and a comfortable outdoor seating area which is nice, as we waited almost an hour before getting on the bus. The guides were fun and energetic, especially Grace who engaged our group of teen girls and got them hyped up on the bus ride for the trip, banging their paddles on the bus roof! Everyone had positive feedback and was happy with their first rafting experience through RMA. Cons: We did a level 3 trip and it seemed a bit calm. Not too many "rapids", water level was low, and the two legs of the trip we made seemed short, under an hour each. Towards the end of the trip I asked if we could have some time for the girls to swim in the river the head guide abruptly said no and that we were out of time (likely because a raft had overturned and we spent 15 mins+ docked and waiting for them to regroup). Would have been nice to have maybe used that time to swim instead of just sitting in our rafts. Oh well. Overall, our group was happy with our trip and all said they're ready for a level 4. I would def recommend RMA for your group adventure, assuming most trips are the same duration. I'm especially thankful to Grace for making it so fun and memorable for our softball girls. Thanks guys!
