    Setting up my Mathews V3
    Thomas S.

    Always top notch service with friendly, knowledgeable employees. They have great bow selection from all the top manufacturers, alongside a ton of other hunting gear from optics to backpacks, shoes to sleeping pads. Ross Outdoors is a one stop shop and my favorite archery shop in the Valley.

    Every experience I've had with Ross Outdoors has always been excellent! Family owned and operated, they treat you as if you were a friend that came over to shoot the shit in the backyard. They have always provided good advice and tips to my husband, as well as tossing in a free hat or shirt on occasion for his business. This review isn't about him though, it's about me, and my experience as a 5' nothing first time archer/bow hunter. Let me start by saying- to ALL the ladies out there that shoot and want to improve, or want to learn- THIS IS YOUR SHOP Drop your husband off at Cabellas to sniff around, and drive over to Ross. Why? Because they actually want you to be better than your husband thinks you can be. They want you to drop tacks, skunk him and his friends, and feel so good, and so confident that you will get other ladies interested in this amazing sport. If you don't have a man, need a man or want a man to bother with- this place- and Nate will guide you and help you lean and improve so fast you will shock yourself. Nate is an anomaly in this sport. Just my opinion, not gospel, but he is my current man crush (other than you honey.) He is kind, patient and sooooo freaking tuned into this sport it's freakish. He knows what and why you can't seem to land your shot where you are aiming. He talks in laments terms and makes sure you understand why he's changing things, and what he hopes you to accomplish after. I was an archery virgin. I asked for and received a Bear Finesse for Christmas. It was an eBay find from a man who's wife shot it twice and promptly said- "This sport isn't for me." (Just a long shot- but I bet her husband was trying to teach her to shoot.) I digress.... I walked into Ross and was treated like a customer, not a chick who was drug in by her husband. They got my draw length and poundage set for me, cut my arrows and adjusted my release. I went over to the archery lane to pop my very first shots. My first arrow hit the wall, my second thwacked my arm. Some adjustments were made, and I was actually on the target, kind of. We had to go, so my husband said he would work with me. To his account he was just genuinely trying to help me improve. He never really yelled, much, but, we are married. Married. The ladies reading this understand. Two weeks later I go back into Ross and meet.... NATE. Right off the bat I felt at ease. He worked with me, helped me with my posture and grip, fine tuned my bow, and basically told me to ignore my husband and focus on the basics. By the time I left I was hitting decent groupings at 10 yards. But then I came home, dropped back to 20 yards and sucked. My husband made so many suggestions and tweaks that I was getting frustrated and decided I was the issue, not the bow. Back to Ross, and Nate to figure this all out. After about 10 minutes of observation, Nate saw that my whisker biscuit and pins didn't line up. It was slight, but was the reason my shots were low and left. My peep was also slightly off. We paper tuned my bow, and by the time I left I was nailing tight, tight groupings at 20 yards. Came home, still hitting groupings that I'm very proud of, and finally feel confident and comfortable with my Bear. Moral of my story- Sometimes you just need a place that is as invested as you are in your success. Go to Ross. Every guy in that place knows their shit, and wants you to improve. They will never be a big box store that gets people behind the counter that don't actually shoot. And go see Nate- tell him the short blond chick who brought him cookies sent you.

    I bought my son a bow for his birthday since he has been really interested in archery. With me having no idea about anything archery, I bought the completely wrong setup for him at Cabela's. I went to Ross Outdoors and William helped us out, got us dialed in with the correct bow for my son, set the bow up for him, and helped us to find the right equipment- and actually helped us to save money in getting the right bow setup. He even took my son into the range and showed him the proper way to hold and shoot the bow. William was great, and now that my son is even more excited about archery, I will definitely be visiting William at Ross Outdoors again to work on a bow for myself so I can shoot with my son. I couldn't be happier and can not recommend Ross enough. They are awesome and really took care of my son and I.

    Thanks to the guys at Ross Outdoors 2015 javelina success.

    Ross Outdoors is hands down the best shop in town. I have been a customer for a few years. They get what customer service is, and have some of the best tech's I have ever dealt with. Purchased a custom bowstring this year they installed it, paper tuned my bow, put a couple arrows thru the chrono and made sure I was dialed back in to 20 yards. I have recommended them to hunting buddies and every person I have sent turned in to Ross customers. I have no problem driving 45 miles from my house and passing other shops to go to Ross.

    Thanks to The Ross Outdoors crew on helping me get my Elk this last year!

    Its a shame to ever have to go anywhere else. These guys are so helpful, and we love running into them at all the local archery events.

    This place is located on the NE corner of 32nd St and Thomas Rd…read more My son was looking for hiking gear for snow in Colorado. We went to REI and they did not have the gear so they sent us here. They do have equipment for rentals but a limited supply so call ahead to ask. They also recommended he try in Colorado where he was going for rentals which worked out. People were very helpful.

    I rented backpacking gear here for a Havasupai trip after calling ahead because I hadn't backpacked…read morein years and wanted guidance on what equipment I needed. When I arrived to pick up my reservation, none of the gear had been prepared. I spent over an hour in the store while employees searched for equipment, including the cookset I had reserved. I was eventually given a Jetboil stove and separate cookset, but no one explained any compatibility limitations and the only instruction was provided after I specifically asked. On the trip, while boiling water for dinner, the stove caught fire and we extinguished it immediately. When I returned the gear and explained what happened, I was told I would be charged for the damaged equipment. The most disappointing part of the experience was the interaction with the owner. Rather than discussing what happened professionally, he told me he couldn't believe someone could be "so stupid" and that the employees were all laughing at me in back for not knowing that I could only use one of the two pots they rented me with the stove and said I should have Googled it before renting it (not that the brand or model was listed on their website). Mistakes happen. Had this been limited to a reservation mix-up or equipment issue, I probably would not be writing this review. What turned me away permanently was the way the situation was handled afterward. As a final note, the store called me three days after I returned the equipment because it had not been checked back into their inventory system and they wanted to confirm I had actually returned it, so their inventory management issues didn't seem like a one off.

    Adj: Very fun sporting goods and more store!…read more We love coming to different Bass Pro Shops. They're all kind of different, and yet similar. They're all huge, just that some are even bigger than the average. This one in Mesa, AZ is one of the biggest, we were told by staff. We came while on a trip out to Phoenix area, and we were staying nearby. It was a warm, or rather sizzling hot September day. There's not really a fall in AZ is there? Winter would be fall to most in temps. Anyhow, coming into this store was perfect for getting out of the heat. We wandered immediately over to the huge aquarium. A very attractive feature that my kids just love to gravitate towards no matter how old they are. After looking at the fishes for awhile, we wandered up to the 2nd floor and looked at all the camping gears, not so much b/c we're the camping type, but b/c the products are fun to check out and we discovered some innovations in camping chairs, they have come a LONG way, so comfortable that some of them feel like couches now, or like a reclining chair, almost like a la-z-boy in your family room. After checking out the camping section, we looked at the "stuffed" animals, aka taxidermy wildlife. They are always menacing and "scary" to me. What can I say, I get squeamish around wild animals alive or dead, but of course better if they're already taken care of so I don't have to run for my life. In any case, we also checked out their archery dept which is so cool b/c you can shoot arrow and test out their bows here at their indoor range (smaller, but sufficient) before buying and get practice in with your own bow, iirc. Finally, we just walked around all over, including much of the 1st floor to check out their water sports and apparel depts, all filled with goodies and fun stuff galore. If only money is no object huh? lol. Customer service was friendly and let us browse and explore as we liked, but were there for any questions or directions.

    Huge BPS store! This one is in Mesa. We were staying pretty close by, could've technically walked…read moreover had it not been so hot. Spent a couple of hours one afternoon. We love visiting BPS's, it's like going into the wilderness without the prep and mosquito bites. We're only semi-outdoors people of the paved or at least graveled/dirt-road variety, and not too much rugged terrain please for my getting-old bones. Pros: - It's for pros, hence the name, lots of specialty brands. - I feel like I'm a pro when I come here, only need to trick me. - My kids get such a kick out of this place, it's got all the cool gadgets to make camping and other outdoors adventures high-tech and fun - So many taxidermy animals, my wife hates seeing them and get squeamish, but the kids and I find them fun to look at. I personally think they're cool. Too bad I can't bring one home. - Some things on sale are pretty reasonably priced. - Huge place to walk around in, get your exercise done indoors in perfectly temp-controlled environment. - Clean bathrooms and the whole place is kept up nicely. Cons: - Some items are definitely full-retail prices - mostly hiking shoes, water sandals, didn't see much if any discounts for those. - Other items seem even higher than retail at other stores - grills, camping equipment, some knives (although I don't know prices for those as much). All in all, a great place to visit, stick to sale stuff and you can find some decent to good deal for your next outdoors adventure. Service from staff is good if you need help, just ask, otherwise, it's more a hands-off, self-serve, wander-as-you-like type of place which I prefer anyway.

    bought a hummingbird fish finder and the mount broke! I just have a little flat bottom Jon boat so…read morenothing to fast or ceazy! but I'll tell you all from walking in that front door the customer service I got from the genetalman at the front door to Mathew in the fishing department!. He had me go to returns and from there I think everyone's been there before where we don't get the nicest. Customer service representative.well I'm here to tell you you Brianna in customer service not only met my hope of expectations but them ten fold!

    The shooting range upstairs isn't available. (Token machine "out of order" so no way to buy tokens…read moreto shoot). Food court has disappeared. Small general store feels like it has the heater on. And the smell of candied nuts is no more. Even the upstairs escalator blocked off. You can still take the elevator up, though. The home decor section that used to be on the west wing of the upstairs is closed off and no longer accessible to the public. Bass Pro ruined this Cabela's location. Two stars for the friendly staff who rang us up, directed us towards the bathroom, and offered to help in the camping section. Other than that, this place is not the happy place it used to be. Even the fish in the tank seem sadder.
