This is great place to go try archery.

I wanted to try out a new hobby and found this place which has very accessible prices.

My first day here the instructor provided clear instructions to the group before shooting. once everyone understands the basic rules you're free to shoot for the rest of the class, instructors will provide some guidance but will not be hovering over you the entire time, I personally liked this as I tried to figure out a few things that worked for me.

After taking the first class here you become a full member and the cost goes down.

I liked this place so much I took my wife for her first lesson, in my second visit I had questions regarding the bow sizes and the strength, The young instructor provided good information and allowed me to try out specific bows, I feel they went out of their way to accommodate me and my wife, very grateful to all the instructors.

I am already planning my next shooting session since 1 hour seems very short!

I am pretty excited about this and I hope anyone reading might be inclined to try it out at least once.

I took the intro class and it was pretty fun. They explained everything with demonstration within 15 minutes and then we spent 45 minutes shooting the bows. At the end we got to shoot balloons 🎈 Would recommend the intro class for anyone who’s interested in archery cause it’s fun and affordable.

It was my first archery experience so we did a private lesson (we were a big group). Thomas and Adrian were super helpful. I had fun overall. It's not a super exciting sport for me so I probably won't be back on my own. The price was decent. I just wish the entire time we were shooting balloons (we had balloons for the last 2-3 rounds), though I understand it's a lot of work for the staff. I also wish it was a tad warmer in that warehouse, so be sure to wear something slim fitting and long sleeves!

I took my parents for their first archery lesson as a Father’s Day gift and we had a blast here. The range was clean and the staff was helpful. The instructions were clear and concise. They were also able to provide translation services for my parents in Mandarin.

Near the end of the hour, they also added balloons for us to shoot and that was a nice touch. The feedback of a good shot was immediate and gratifying. I would recommend giving it a go and come here for your archery needs.

Went here for beginners class, was expecting a lot of kids but only to found out that it’s full of grown ups. The class was pretty knowledgeable and I really had some good time trying archery for the first time. The last two round for artery will have the balloons stick to the target which will make u feel accomplished once u shot it. Once we had our beginner class for the first time we will be automatically signed up for membership here in the future. Will definitely considering coming back another day.

Echoing the sentiments of other reviewers that the staff is very rude and don't want you there. Me and my friend tried to get more information on archery and they gave us one word answers basically telling us to get out after our lesson. The only reason you would go here is to get quickly set up and try archery out otherwise it's not really a place to go if you plan on going more than once.
It seems as though their apology responses are just empty words as the attitude is still the same when we went.

Also the hours of operation are incorrect, they close at 6 on Saturday

Best archery experience ever! 🏹👍
