This was a date night plan that turned out really great. We took the beginner's class, which is a…read morerequirement before you actually rent a lane. Our instructor, Martin, was funny, informative, and insightful. I learned more about archery in those first 15 minutes than I had in my entire life. He was very directive about what was important to employ in terms of technique, things to look out for (like when retrieving your arrow or if you happen to drop one, and your quill could accidentally become a hazard), and where to keep focus. I think my target speaks volumes for how well they make sure you understand what you're doing. I only wish that I could have taken more pictures and video, but it wasn't clear whether or not we could, and I didn't want to introduce a potential hazard (to them or myself). Great experience. Would love to go back!

They decorated the space with balloons and confetti, which was a nice touch :) We had two instructors because of the size of our group and they were both AWESOME. They were really patient and helped everyone learn the basics and even improve throughout the course of the 2 hours. After the instruction, they turned on the blacklights and we got competitive and played a few games. Overall, such a great experience; 10 out of 10 would recommend; 5 stars; no notes! Can't wait to go back for a lane rental (this counts as an intro class!).

TL;DR: Eugene is awesome and I walked out super happy with a full beginner's archery package at a…read moregreat price. I had a great experience at extreme archery. As soon as my husband and I walk in the door, we are greeted by Eugene and asked if we needed help. I stated boldly that I wanted to learn archery and had very little idea of where to start. He didnt try to upsell some big fancy expensive deal, he offered private lessons at $35 for 30min. I declined and said I wanted to get my own set and learn from there. "No problem," he said. He brought me up to the counter and did a dominant eye test and determined I was lefty, even though I'm mostly right-handed. He indulged me and let me try shooting from both sides and HE WAS ABSOLUTELY CORRECT. I shot three arrows within inches of each other lefty, and spazzed out twice and hit the ceiling as righty. He coached me a little on saftey, stance, and technique. Also he didn't judge me for my pink hair or for picking out the pretty purple arrows with the red feathers. Long story short, he spent nearly an hour answering all of our annoying and endless questions and showed us how to use everything. We walked out very happy and we are headed out to an outdoor range right now on this beautiful day thanks to Eugene and Extreme Archery.

Been meaning to come here for years now and did it on a whim on a Friday night. We walked in, and…read morewe were able to book an hour beginner lesson/rental ($35pp, cash only) that was starting in less than 30m. They have a small seating area where you can wait and watch other shoot in the meantime. There's a jacket rack in the hallway and a bathroom available. The staff there was very sweet and welcoming, and our instructor, whose name I didn't catch (tall, long hair), was a great teacher in going through safety and the basics & giving pointers and answering questions! Our lesson just had around 4 people total to begin with, and then 2 joined later, which seemed decent (since you have to wait until the last person clears shooting before we all grab our arrows again). After you're finished, you have the option to take your target sheet with you if you'd like a small momento! It was such a fun experience for me personally and a great date night place. Would definitely do it again and recommend it, especially for anyone who wants to try out archery!

Awesome staff, fun activity, great spot. If it's your first time, you get to do a super-fun introductory class (that's accessible to everyone of all ages and levels of athleticism - including "basically none") that teaches you the basics while also keeping it really entertaining with mini-competitions and such. Definitely a great group activity to try out with friends / family. After doing the intro lesson, you're free to sign up any time afterwards for your own private lane to practice in for 1-2 hours or so (bumping you up from a 5-yard distance from your target to a 10-yard one) - and the staff will keep checking in on you and giving you pointers and suggestions to improve your game. Speaking of which, they're all super friendly and knowledgeable - Nas, Ace, Simon and the rest, all great guys with lots of patience and sunny dispositions. It's roughly $35 for 1 hour of use of the space and to rent out a bow and some arrows (and the extra coaching is free) - a very reasonable deal in NYC. My wife and I have been coming back at least twice a month since the Winter and we've had a blast every visit. Super fun to watch yourself progress and get more and more accurate too. And as an added bonus, it's smack dab in the middle of Chinatown - tons of great spots to eat at around here, after an hour of archery. Would absolutely recommend to anyone visiting or living here.
