For $20 buck this was a fun experience. I have no particular interest in really every going hunting or shooting anything. I was just looking for a near by (OC) activity to do with a group of 3 outside of the usual eat, movie, etc. This was an interesting and fun experience and definitely an arm workout. The activity does not require any experience and all I have to add is that you at least have some arm strength before you go. :( I have not workout my arms in a while so holding the bow go tiring and my aim started to go up..hehe. Safety is definitely on mind so that is plus. It well worth-it experience. read more

Five stars easy! We did the Groupon deal for two, it comes with a little introduction to archery, and then they instruct you as you shoot - and of course they set you up with a bow, some safety gear, and the arrows that fit your length. Children are welcome to attend (they have child bows and safety gear for them too). This is fun, easy, safe - good times. The instructors were great. Their shop is full of all sorts of archery stuff - it's an arsenal. read more

Best bow shop in Orange County. Taylor is hands down the best bow tech I've had work on my gear. He's particular and meticulous with his tuning and arrow fletching. Highly recommend if you need a tune up before season to be sure to get your bow into his hands read more

Looks like Leonardo D is a rival or a bot. He has only one review posted. I came across his review while pulling up Hi-Tech in my map (I couldn't remember the exact location, need to head there this weekend for a replacement sight). My son is 12 and is new to archery. The JOAD program he started with recommended Hi-tech after he earned his first few pins with the club's bows. We got him a gift card for Christmas and took him to pick out his own setup. These folks are AWESOME toward newcomers. Each step of the way (bow, sight, stand, weight, stand, etc, etc) they explained the different options, what might last longer as he gets better, what products will do for now, what's necessary, what can wait til later). Also, while my son was trying out his new bow in their range, they helped me quickly and discreetly purchase a backpack that I wanted to hide and save for his birthday. Sue packaged it quickly in brown paper for me so I could sneak to my trunk without him noticing :) Also, 2 of my kids have taken lessons at Hi-tech and the 3 instructors we met were awesome (along with a few 'regulars' who also engaged with my kids, gave them pointers and shared their knowledge. Overall, this sport isn't cheap once you get into it and I appreciate the great rime and care Hi-tech takes with their customers. Every person I spoke with was knowledgeable and kind. Have never had a bad vibe here. Sure they can get busy and you may need to take a number and wait depending on what your there for, what rime of day on the weekend, etc, but I think that speaks to their quality products and staff that people are driving quite far to see (we're about an hour out). read more

This place is amazing! We showed up less than an hour before closing and the staff was so patient, kind, and most of all, helpful. We worked with Sue Ann and she set up my boyfriend with everything he wanted without pushing unnecessary extras. She was SO knowledgeable and walked us (total beginners) through just what we needed to know. They had exactly what we wanted in stock with tons of options/alternatives. Can't wait to go back for lessons! read more

Review is for the archery lesson. We came on a Saturday to do something we haven't done before. The people teaching the class are really helpful. They pretty much show you how to hold the bow and shoot. They explain each aspect of the bow and what its for. They also corrected my form and made my shot better. Highly recommend doing the lesson if your looking to try it out. read more

Today I visited Hi Tech Archery for a beginners group lesson -- it was awesome! The archery instructors were patient, clear, and funny. Though a bit intimidsting to walk in to the large shop with lots of experienced bowmen shopping, the gal behind the counter was welcoming and sent us upstairs for the lesson. While waiting for the class before to end, we were able tonplay ping pong. It was a lot of fun to learn how to hold and shoot an arrow, and to see my aim improve through practicing my form. I will definitely be back and am already procing out my own equipment, because it was such a great time. read more

This is the archery shop to visit. This is my daily go to location. I'd rather support brick n mortar than buy online but sometimes I can get better pricing a online. Beware of online rip offs. Don't start purchasing archery stuff if you aren't ready to spend $200+ to get started. Just utilize Hi-Archery's rentals/range time until you know what kind of archery you want to dive into. It's that easy to save $$$ Pro: -huge inventory/variety (solid and reputable brands) -good price range options (Example: $140-$1300 bows/6pk $39-$200 arrows) -knowledgeable staff -indoor ranges -beginner classes (great for dates too) Con: -wait times due to time spent with new setup customer. (Not mad though) -parking If you're trying to do a quick run, grab gear and go then don't stop by on the weekend. Weekdays have less staff but can get what you need and go. Weekends are a little busier. You might be waiting a little bit until a staff becomes available. When it isn't busy staff in the shop is just hanging out by the range or doing their side task - they don't bug you while you shop so just walk up and ask for assistance if you need something. Overall this is an outstanding archery shop! read more

They offer classes, repair, and sell gear. If you're wanting to get into archery, I think this is a great place to start! read more

Clean facility, friendly staff. Came here through a Groupon deal for one one-hour lesson. Staff gave clear instructions and made it an enjoyable hour for everybody. read more

Not going to rate the groupon lessons since we know it's a way to get people to "try" out the sport. If you're serious, you'd take private lessons or group lessons over the course of several weeks. Anyhow too much ranting in general from the other reviews. On to the store itself. Selection was quite vast. Lot of Hoyt bows and others. Very friendly staff (asked if I needed help several times). You can tell that people who come here are in the know. If I was in the market for a bow and bow supplies, I'd come back. read more

Got a Groupon for a beginner's archery class and it was a lot more fun than I had anticipated! http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/mVvBpwIhKEFQ1u1W57mxGg?select=0nufhkcqayxzZ4l09RP5FA In just one hour I improved from hitting the banner posters way above the targets area to some bulls-eye shots! It's probably luck though, since I'm as blind as a bat... The instructors we had were super friendly, helpful, and were incredibly safety conscious, which is def a good thing. Regular classes are about $25 for an hour. Downstairs when you walk in and it's a shop full of everything you would ever need for this sport (with random stuffed animals, I assumed were hunted, scattered around) and in the back are the shooting ranges where you can bring your fancy schmancy $1000 bow to practice. And don't forget about the random popcorn machine! Upstairs is the class next to the air hockey and ping pong tables (more randomness!). I think it'd be a great place to host a kids' bday party. read more

Hi-Tech Archery - Beginners' class - Archery Near Me - Fullerton, California

Went here with my friends for their one-hour class. It was so much fun!! I have always wanted to learn archery and this hour class was a great introduction. Our teacher, Michael, was fantastic. He is friendly, clearly knew his stuff but he didn't put you down for not be Robin Hood right away. I would definitely recommend this for a no pressure Archery introduction or even just something different to do. Everyone is very welcoming and friendly and I can't wait to go back. read more

This review is only for the lessons that Chad and Anicca do.. didn't buy anything in the store so don't know about that part. I have never shot a bow in my life so was a teensy bit apprehensive but have to say I thoroughly enjoyed it! Chad and Anicca were great coaches and I appreciated that they made sure we had more time shooting than just listening to instruction. Evenso, they did teach us lots of safety stuff and made sure we were in the right formation and didn't retrieve our bows till all were done. I had such a great time trying archery that I definitely plan to go back to try it again! read more

This was my first time taking an archery class. It was fun, however, there could be a few improvements. Finding the building wasn't hard, but locating the entrance, and where to go inside was a little confusing. We arrived early, and the coach was really nice. She was in the middle of teaching another class, and nicely told us we can hang out behind the line as she finishes up. They had an air hockey table and a ping pong table to keep us occupied while we wait. When it was time for our class, I was stoked! Bow and arrows look so cool! I was a little hesitant handling this weapon at first, but got the hang of it after a while. One thing I didn't like about it, was that we had to share targets. There was a whole row of 12 people shooting arrows at the targets, and not all of us had a target directly in front of us. This made it a little more difficult to hit the bulls-eye, as you would have to aim diagonally at the target. I wished we each had our own target to aim at. No biggie though. I still had fun. Be careful though. This could end up being quite a dangerous sport if you don't position your arm correctly. At one point, when I released the string on the bow, it flicked and scraped my arm, because my arm wasn't positioned correctly. It felt like someone flicking a giant, thick rubber band straight at you. OUCH! PAINFUL!! But the fun was worth it =D. read more

Nice shop with a lot of product on hand butthey are VERY expensive. I was charged $3.99 for 1 foot of nock line that cost less than .20 per yard. I don't expect anything for free but that was really expensive especially since I bought a $300.00 Stan release at the same time. read more

Best pro shop near LA hands down. I recently bought a slightly used RPM 360, and had a shop closer to where I live in LA "tune" it. Long story short, they jacked it all up so I drove the 1.5 hrs to Hi-Tech on a hope and a prayer that they might be able to get the bow set up properly. They re-did everything and got it shooting bullet holes through paper in quick order. I've used shops in Northern California, Denver, and Illinois and I can tell these guys really know what they are doing. I'm new to LA and glad I found these guys. For as long as I'm stuck in LA I won't take my bow anywhere else. Well worth the drive. read more

Had a bad experience but got an email about making it right. Further update to follow.

The wife got me a private lesson for my birthday. Both of our first time with archery. We had a blast! The instructor Taylor was extremely knowledgeable and had both my wife and I dialed in and hitting bullseyes in no time. If you have never shot a bow and are thinking about trying it, this is the place for you. The range was clean, safe, and well maintained. I had such a great experience and there is no doubt I will be a regular. As for the shop.. I cannot give any input at this time but I plan on going back to purchase a bow there when ready. So I will give my review then. read more

The hubs surprised me with an hour of archery instruction for my birthday, and found a Groupon deal from this place's website. Walked in not sure what to expect, got a friendly greeting and directions to the area where they allow people to practice shooting with the store's equipment. Jonathan was an awesome instructor, and gave us great tips and coaching as we shot. DH did great, with his arrows hitting each other and all grouped nicely in the red and yellow. I...................was satisfied with having most of my arrows hit the paper. It's crazy how one little change in your position/the way you hold the bow/how high your elbow is when you draw it back/anything and everything throws the arrow off the target. We had a great time, and will definitely be coming back! Also, TURN YOUR ELBOW DOWN. I have a nice little bruise forming already. read more

Hi-Tech Archery - Archery Near Me - Fullerton, California

First time taking an archery lesson and it was a lot of fun! I purchased a Groupon for 2 for a 1 hr lesson. We watched a 5 min safety video and got right into practice. It was a pretty fun class, but it went very smoothly with 2 instructors. We learned how to shoot, adjust our sights and the basics of archery. We even hit the center of the target a number of times. The only thing I'd say is that some of the equipment is worn and the bow I had didn't allow for direct line of sight (when everything else was technically correct). Maybe they didn't think it was worth it to switch the bow for such a short class that was so full. Anyway, lots of fun, we definitely improved by the end of the lesson. read more

Its super fun. They were kind to let my friend and I attend the next class at 4pm after I came 30 minutes late for my actual appointment time. The instructor was friendly, funny, and approachable. He made it easy to ask questions. Its my first time holding a arrow and bow so I held it completely wrong..lol.. I did start hitting the target after I was nicely corrected. Im definitely going to come back. I saw people of all ages come here. Some people were older couples, guys, teenagers. Im planning on taking my dad next time. read more

Hi-Tech Archery - Still need to work on my form a bit - Archery Near Me - Fullerton, California

I bought a groupon deal and came here in the morning with a few friends. The instructors were very nice and having been my first time I thoroughly enjoyed the 1 hour session. You start with a video about the basics, get setup with the equipment, and then as you proceed to shoot, the instructors will give you pointers on what you are doing so you can improve. The hour went away rather quickly, but we luckily got to shoot 3 arrows 4 times. It clearly works muscles that you don't normally use so a few could keep going and a few couldn't. With that said, if you are in a group that is slow, you probably will shoot less since there's a wait period of getting your arrows for safety reasons. I look forward to continuing the experience and seeing more about this sport. read more

The bf and I came here with a 1hr groupon deal he bought and the overall atmosphere of the place was pretty incredible. Bows and arrows all around you! Mike was our instructor who helped us out and he really made our time enjoyable. He was incredibly friendly with giving us tips that eventually led to the both of us hitting the target numerous times. It was great! We were all cracking jokes and laughing and it definitely made my bf and I want to come back for more! read more

Fun experience with lively instructors. The Good: -Instructors were funny, felt comfortable during my first time shooting. -Price is reasonable at $15 for an hour long lesson. I was able to go from hitting in the far blue to the center yellow section of my target by the end of the lesson. The Bad: -It can get crowded. I'm also not a fan of children (oops) so I wish that they had an adults lesson and a designated children's lessons during their public sessions. -Equipment was definitely used but it didn't affect my shooting. Just an aesthetic note. -Wish I got to keep my target poster afterwards, similar to keeping your target after visiting the gun shooting range. I really enjoyed this experience and recommend it. I'd definitely go again. It's a fun experience and very chill vibes. read more

Got introduced to the place thru a Groupon deal. Took my daughter once and then my son. My boy has become a huge fan,going there with me a few times to shoot for fun, then having his birthday party there. We have since graduated to getting our own equipment. I bought a package deal compound bow set from Hi-Tech and am extremely happy with it. They took the time to dial it in and get it fitted perfectly for me. They even cut down some arrows for my son that I had bought I'm very happy with the customer service, attention to details, and the family type of atmosphere. read more

I bought a bow for my daughter and I and really liked the customer service we've received. Great instructors, great facility, and affordable prices. 4.5 of 5 Stars here. I recently went in to purchase some arrows and the salesman who helped me was so rude and unfriendly (younger looking guy with white hair). He made me feel so uncomfortable in just asking him questions about different types of arrows. After what felt some reluctance to help, he set me up with the correct sized arrows for my bow. I don't know what I did to this guy but he was giving me the cold shoulder and acting as if I was wasting his time. I don't think I even got a thank you after spending almost $50 at this establishment. 0 of 5 Stars here. I may need to find a new shop for my archery stuff if I get the same kind of customer service again. read more

Found a great deal off Groupon. Just have to reserve online in advance. The boyfriend and I went and got very lucky to only have 6 people in the group so we got a good amount of shooting in. Friendly instructors that have good tips. The hour went back so fast; we had a great time and would def try again! read more

Best archery shop in the area. Joe helped me with my first bow and gave me some tips on how to shoot. JOE IS THE MAN!

AVOID COMING ON A THURSDAY TO SHOOT. Had an awful experience that is unrelated to the workers/company. Explanation below. Other than that this is a great spot. You kind of have to make yourself noticed or nobody will help you. Went there to do archery with my fiance for fun. 10$ an hour or 25$ the whole day. Paid to be there for an hour with my fiance, we've practiced archery before but we are not good by no means. Just enjoying ourselves. An extremely talkative old guy that was there decided he wanted to waste our time and nitpick our shooting skills. Literally when we would be in the middle of shooting he would tell us to stop and watch him because we were "doing it wrong". He's not a worker, nor did he shoot good. He insulted the brand new bow we bought because it was not purchased within the store. He also said we used too many arrows because we decided to use 6 and he had only 3. He called "Clear" whenever he wanted even if it was obvious we were not done shooting. He would also watch us frequently. It was honestly the most frustrating hour I've ever had. I really wanted to get my money back and go somewhere else. A gentleman next to us even said "He's not your instructor? Wow he's a ----" I asked one of the workers when he comes to shoot and he said Thursday. Don't come on a Thursday. If you see an overly talkative old guy shooting do yourself the favor and immediately leave. Again, great place. But this guy really sucks. read more
