Hi Everyone!

Its been real busy at the store lately. We have spent time redesigning the website. Please check it out and let me know what you think! (www.prairiearms.com).

You will notice on our website we will be using the tools Twitter and Facebook. Twitter will offer us an opportunity to provide those followers with new item updates at the store, news, and special promotions for those monitoring. facebook will be there for us to plan events and discuss items and share information. Please follow those if you are interested in joining us for shooting events in the Spring of 2010!

Thanks for your time! If there is anything I or we at Prairie Arms can do for you, please don't hesitate to ask!

Ryan

Hi Ryan. Paul here, I don't mind going to a local shop and paying a little more for products and services and I have been referring people and purchasing from your place for years. I think that the only thing I can say is when I do refer people I always find myself saying the same thing, " if you are in a hurry don't go in" the reason I say this is I go in just to shoot the crap sometimes and look at your items but other times I just want to get in and out. If I want in and out I almost always have to stand around for 15min waiting for Dr. Jackson to finish on the phone or stop talking to someone else. I say this with only kindness in my hart, if I want to stand and talk I will, if I want to get out let me.
And for the others on the board this is a great shop with great people and will get you what you need. So go see them.

Hey Everyone,

Sorry its been a long time since we have posted.

Again, I'd like to re-introduce myself. My name is Ryan and I am a managing partner of Prairie Arms since July 2009. I am in charge of all operations at the store. At that time I came in to assist Mike (who many may know) in building the business and modernize its practices. Since the partnership, we have done the following:

- First and foremost... Directly or Indiretly lose the personnel who were slowly bringing down the business due to their customer service skills, attention to details, or just plain bad behavior.

- With the current team we have certainly focussed on a model of educating each and every customer that walks in and listen to their desires or goals and provide them with the correct or appropriate merchandise. We do not just push the product on the shelf.

- We have participated in co-sponsoring community events to raise funds for charitable organizations while promoting shooting sports (2 Louviers Turkey Shoots / Provided our range up North for Tactical Training)

- We MOVED! We are now in a larger location that is slated to host an indoor shooting range of 7 lanes each at 25 yards. Also, we have a better servicing side for our Gunsmith services that allow you to talk with the Gunsmith at a counter and allow each and everyone the ability to see in to the work area without being in the work area like before!

- We built a comprehensive web store offering that hosts many if not all of your hobby needs at huge price discounts that compete with Walmart for Ammunition, Buds Guns for Firearms, and even Optics Planet for optics!
Please take a few minutes and check it out at your convenience!

- With the web store, we are also looking to expand our services around consignment sales so your firearm will be listed on the site. At the moment, you will notice only a collectable section, but the consignment area will be the same to serve your selling needs.


In closing, I look forward to seeing some of you at the store. Some I have met, but I am sure many I have not. Please understand that the shop is under new management with a high level of dedication towards service. We certainly hope to earn your business and with your help keep this store running for fellow Colorado shooting sports enthusiasts!

-Ryan

Wow Ryan, it sounds like you all have made quite a number of positive changes to your business. To bad I don't live closer. If I'm ever in your area I'll certainly drop by and see you.

Very nice website! Do you have most of the items on your website in stock at the store? If so, that is quite the inventory, just the Glocks alone were plentiful. I may have to try and get some time tomorrow to swing by.
