STEAMBOAT SPRINGS, CO · SINCE 2019
David Smith, one of our first employees, said it best — and it stuck. That phrase became the promise we make to every customer who walks through the door.
Elk River Guns is family-owned and operated. No shareholders. No corporate quota. Every recommendation we make, every brand we carry, every sale we close — we treat you the way we want to be treated. That’s not a slogan. That’s how we run the shop.
WHY ERG
Our staff are competitive shooters and hunters. We carry what we use, recommend what we trust, and stand behind every sale. No filler brands, no guesswork.
No shareholders, no corporate quota. Jae built this shop from the ground up. Your experience matters more than any single transaction — that's only possible when the owner is behind the counter.
We don't stock brands where quality was traded away for margin. We carry the right gear, match it with the right ammo and accessories, and make sure your purchase is complete — every time.
EXPERIENCE MATTERS
Walk in and you’ll find experts, not just clerks. Our team are passionate shooters, hunters, and enthusiasts who know their products from the range — not from a spec sheet.
Owner
Jae’s first memories are bombing around the Midwest with his parents working their stores. He started his first business less than a year out of college. When the chance to own ERG came up, he didn’t think twice.
Office Manager
Keegan keeps the day-to-day running smoothly. She knows the shop inside and out, and she’s the reason things actually get done around here.
Sales & Floor Staff
David coined “We Treat You Right” — and he meant it. A competitive shooter and longtime enthusiast, David brings genuine expertise to every conversation on the floor.
Floor Staff
Shooters, hunters, enthusiasts — every one of them. The ERG team is here to help you find the right firearm, ask the right questions, and leave with confidence.
BUYING & SELLING
Upgrading? Downsizing? Settling an estate? We work with you to develop a fair offer on a single gun or a full collection. No pressure, no lowball — just a straight conversation.
