My wife and I took a private lesson here with Jacob and we couldn't have been happier. The staff are all super kind and friendly and welcoming to newbies like us. The lesson is very straightforward and helpful, Jacob is encouraging and excited to teach new people to love the sport. Cannot recommend highly enough. We will definitely be going back soon and often.

Been to this place quite a few times. Great indoor range to get some practice in or some tuning. They pay by the hour shoot but if you buy a time card with more time at once your price goes down per hour, they run lots of indoor tournaments here. They also offer lots of coaching. It can get a little crowded sometimes as it's very popular, I also have a little shop to buy equipment and a repair center

Amazing people and really fun environment!

I signed up for a personal lesson to try the sport for the first time. My coach, Jacob, was very informative and matched my energy/speed. Also Lori and Glenn were very welcoming!

I will certainly be going back, hopefully regularly, to learn as a hobby.

My husband and I took a private lesson with Jacob. He was such a great teacher and made us feel welcomed. Everyone was incredibly friendly and such a good vibe all around. Will definitely be returning!

My husband and I came here for his birthday. We had a great time! Everyone was so friendly, and our instructor Ella was patient and kind.

I'm usually not a reviews kind of person but I wanted to leave one for the team at HAC. Hands down an experience that's changed my life. Googled these guys on a whim one day back in July and decided to go for a lesson. Jacob is an amazing teacher, whether you're a kid or an adult trying the sport for the first time. Never mind Lee who can help anyone take their skills to the next level if you want to go that route. Seriously. Amazing coach. With Glenn and Lori at the helm, they make the place feel like a second home and the community there is nothing short of heartwarming and supportive to everyone who goes.

It never feels like a competition and there's never any pressure. Everyone supports each other and helps, offering their expertise and knowledge to anyone who asks. They also aren't the types to pressure you into buying equipment or anything like that since you get rental equipment with both the lesson and any hours you buy later. If anything, they encourage you to wait and try things out until you're for sure sold on what you want to do. But if you do, they make sure it fits your budget and what you want to do.

Not only that but they have a League Night on Saturdays for adults which is super fun. You don't need to be some master archer. They have a system in place so you can shoot at any distance and with the rental equipment and you just have to shoot better than your own score the previous week. You're only really competing against yourself and they have a fun shootout game with a system where even brand new archers can win!

Whether it's looking for a fun time, even if you go by yourself, or wanting to pick up a new hobby, you'd be hard pressed to find a better place to go. And yes this was long winded but they're amazing and deserve it! <3

Wonderful place to hang out and fling arrows. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. The coaching staff is on point and the general feel and vibe is friendly, inviting and welcoming. I have a blast here at adult League and have been coming here for years. If you are looking for an introduction to archery, you couldn’t ask for a better place to be.
