    Came here on a whim with my brother-in-law and his fiancee to shoot some arrows at the targets on a random weekend. We walked in and eventually were greeted by someone who walked us over to the equipment and helped us get geared up. We were thought about the house rules which basically just means that we can only go fetch the arrows when told, to avoid incidents and off we went. For the most part we all had fun and the prices were fair. The equipment ,however felt pretty cheap and some of the arrows didn't have the torque required to poke through the target. We tried different bows and none of them felt really sturdy and the strings felt a little lose. I get it though, why have fancy equipment up for rental. Like I said, no big deal and we had fun. I'd definitely go back to relieve some stress.

    They are back. At the moment just 2 doors down. They shared that their boss past away. In the end it is the same great team working with everyone.

    We had our daughter's 10th birthday party at this location and she loved it. A year later we invested in equipment for my daughter and they took a lot of time to work with us, educate us, and help us enjoy the sport. Really like going to this location and having family experience. Highly recommend this place.

    I shot for an hour with my father, and we both managed to get a few bullseyes each.

    Came in here to buy some arrows, the guy acted like we were asking for the combination to the safe…read morethat holds the Declaration of Independence. Then, I couldn't find my way around and a woman with glasses ran out of the back room asking me in a paranoid voice CAN I HELP YOU WITH SOMETHING?!?!?! looking me up and down like I was going to rob the place. Super uncomfortable experience. I hope they don't treat everyone like that.

    I got interested in archery kind of by accident. When I was in middle school, we had a…read moreShakespearean festival, which included archery among other things. The bows they had were these cheap compounds (with the wheels) intended for children... which in fairness, we were. Well that, and one step up is five times the cost. At some point many years after, I found this place. I was excited to try my hands at archery once again. Even though this place is a little out of the way, I still venture out here when I want to have a go of being a sort of Robin Hood, only one who is not nearly as good of a shot. I. Cost - Their rates are extremely reasonable for what you get. Shooting on the range is $12/hour if you bring your own equipment, and only $14 to borrow theirs. This cost includes instruction too! This is not a private lesson, but they will help you along the way with stance, aim, draw, and other such basics. II. Staff - their staff are some of the nicest, most patient people I have met! Whether they are telling you the 1st time or 101st time to bring your hand to your ear, they are just as patient and calm. Also, during my time shooting, adjusting the draw weight (on the compound) as well as the sight to my ideal levels was a non issue. III. Range - The range is pretty nice! It is well lit, fairly spacious, and they have targets at two different distances, although, I couldn't tell you what they are. I can however tell that the shorter distance is great for beginners... not so far that it becomes discouraging, but close enough that it is fairly challenging. When you are shooting, do be careful of obstacles like pipes or columns... but if you stay in your lane, you should be fine. IV. Equipment - Out of the bows you are able to rent there are recurves (think Robin Hood) and Compound bows (with wheels). I am fond of the latter, but must say the Genesis bow (make of compound) is not my favorite thing in the world. The reason for this is (don't quote me on this) compounds have a let off in weight when fully drawn. The Genesis bows do not (at least not a very significant one). I will not penalize this place for that because these are fairly cheap (~$100), durable, easily adjustable, and according to online markets a great entry level bow for people of all ages. When it comes to equipment, think of it in parallel with bowling . If you are just there to bowl for a bit of fun, you have entry level equipment (balls, shoes) that are durable, and good for those who don't take the sport too seriously. Same thing here, the bows and arm-guards aren't spectacular, and there is no mechanical release provided. If you come to shoot for an hour for fun, you probably don't care that much. As for me, I'd like to keep it casual for now... but even if I end up taking archery more seriously, I will not hesitate at returning to this place to practice!

    I belong to the Holbrook Sportsman's Club and we have a raffle every year I was lucky enough to win…read moresomething in December I have been to the store before I have purchased items there. It's a very nice store and I've met the owner at the club and he seems like a great guy so I was very surprised when I had this interaction With some of the employees I am a very active member of the club and I understand That if you win something in the raffle and it's not exactly what you want you can generally upgrade it without an issue I was not interested in the pistol that I won and wanted to purchase a rifle that was roughly $200 more When I called outer Limits the day after I won the raffle in December, I spoke to a woman at the counter and she congratulated me on winning and I asked her about Exchanging the pistol for the rifle and she got all flustered and told me that that wasn't possible that the club had already purchased those guns for their raffle and nothing could be done I explained to her that I know that it is possible As it had Been done before the lady informed me that she would have to talk to the owner and that she wasn't even sure that she could get a hold of him which I thought was incredibly bizarre So she said that she would get back to me. This was the middle of December. You only have 30 days to pick up the item so I waited. It's the holidays. People are busy I understand but I never heard from her again so I called back in January and I talked to a gentleman down there and it was very easy. I explained the situation I did inform him that I had called earlier and spoken with a woman who would never return my call, but he didn't really want to hear about that so we moved on. I explained to him that I knew what I wanted had the item number again he told me you would have to talk to the owner I said OK And he called me back the next day and said it was possible to do it. I said OK and we proceeded, and he explained that he would reach out to me when the item was at the store. Roughly one week later he called. I was unavailable at the time and I called back about one hour later and asked to speak with Joe who happens Share the same name as the owner Joe Morgan, but I knew I wasn't speaking about the owner It was the same woman that I talk to in December that never called me back that answer the phone. I asked if I could speak with Joe she asked was it the owner and I said no I don't know the gentleman's last name. He never told it to me, but I explained to that he called and left a message about one hour earlier and she started snapping at me. What's this about? What's your name? And I could hear the gentleman standing right next to her, so I said that he had just called me an hour earlier and was she gonna let me speak to him and then she got really furious and said she didn't like the way that I was talking to her and then I would have to call back later I don't think I've really ever been treated like this. It was very unusual. I was so angry that I did not call back until the next day so I asked to speak to Joe and the gentleman that I was talking to informed me that he was busy and I said I can leave my information or I will call back. he said OK and took my information. Joe called me about 10 minutes later and I thanked him for taking care of this issue but then he informed me that he wasn't happy with the way that I had spoken to his coworker the previous day so that just made e angry and I proceeded to explain to him How the situation was handled so poorly, and that this person has no place doing business with anybody in the public sector, I don't care what business she's in I told him that I deal with people all the time very consistently and generally, there are never any issues and things go very smoothly. There's no way possible that I am. The only person that this woman has ever had an issue with. I would think this is more the norm than the exception So then, Joe informed me that we would just let bygones be bygones and then I would have to come in on a day that that woman wasn't working so I wouldn't upset her I had never heard any kind of crazy talk like this in my entire life so this was a Friday and he told me I could come in and pick up the rifle on Friday or Saturday and he would be there both days . I walked in the next day on Saturday. There was two men and a woman working there, and One of the men asked if he could help me and I said I was looking for JOE and he informed me that Joe wasn't there which I thought was very odd that I just spoke to him the day before and he told me he would be there at both days Then he informed me that his name was Joe and he was the guy that I was looking for. It was just absolutely amazing how this transaction was being handled. Joe went and got the rifle and brought me over to her computer to do the paperwork that needs to be completed. I took care of that was on my way. It is a very nice shop. They have a lot of stock there but personally, I wo

    If you are a woman shopping for a gun and are tired of men…read moremansplaing things to you then this shop is for you. I have spoken with 2 very knowledgeable women that work here on 2 separate occasions (there may be more than 2 -I'm not sure). There are plenty of shops with nice and knowledgeable guys working in them but I find that some of them mansplain almost to the point of being insulting and sometimes they don't take questions or after purchase issues seriously when a woman is talking to them. It's refreshing to be taken seriously when gun shopping. I highly recommend this shop for all female shooters. Prices are similar to other local small town shops. They aren't going to match the prices of the bigger shops who order and stock in bulk but they do have an impressive selection of guns and accessories.
