Hi Rick, we are so sorry to hear that your stay at the ranch did not meet your expectations. We change out our pillows annually and am very surprised that yours were not to your satisfaction. I wish you had told us as we have a full reserve of brand new pillows in the laundry room that we could have provided you. All the mattresses in the ranch were replaced last year and are quite new. We understand that individual guests have different mattress preferences but the ones you had were definitely new. Regarding our archery we try very hard to give guests an authentic old western feel. All our activities are centered around that old west feel and we want guests to experience what it was like to shoot bow and arrows from back in the day. We do not feel modern bows would convey that feel. We thoroughly enjoyed having you and your daughter here at the ranch and it really appeared as if you both had a good time. We are so disheartened to hear that this was not the case. We do hope that you both got back home safely and the rest of your vacation went much better.
