Glenwood Springs Outdoors

Glenwood Springs Outdoors sits at 831 Grand Avenue in Glenwood Springs, Colorado—right in the heart of Colorado's outdoor country. They operate as a hybrid outfitter: archery headquarters on one side, fly fishing and hunting gear on the other.

Their archery operation breaks down into three core services:

Bow Setup & Tuning - Professional string installation and replacement - Draw-length adjustments and custom fitting - Paper tuning for accuracy - Complete bow repairs

Arrow Building - Custom arrow assembly from component parts - Carbon arrows (Easton brand, consistent velocity and penetration) - Broadhead installation (G5 and Rage heads in stock) - Arrow modifications and repairs

Archery Instruction Their archery lessons are hands-on and tailored to your skill level. Instructors cover proper form, equipment handling, aiming methods, and shot execution. Sessions build confidence and consistency—whether you're brand new or refining competitive technique.

Beyond archery, they run half-day and full-day guided fly fishing trips on three major Colorado rivers: - Roaring Fork River - Colorado River - Frying Pan River

Their guides bring years of experience on local waters. Recent fishing reports highlight technical conditions and specific drift tactics, showing active, current knowledge of river conditions.

They're not just selling bows—they're teaching and maintaining them. The full-service bow shop model means your draw length gets checked, your strings get professionally installed, and your arrows fly true. Archery instruction removes the guesswork for beginners. The guided fishing trips add a second specialty, making them a genuine multi-sport outfitter.

Their inventory covers entry-level through competitive-grade equipment. You'll find budget-friendly options ($4.99 peep sights) alongside premium tools ($199.99 peep sight kits) and brand-name bows from Hoyt.
