Not a great start but I felt like I should give them some 2 more chances since they are the only place in town to get archery equipment. Second time I go in they tell me, unprovoked mind you, about their stance on trans athletes and their shocking "final solution" to the homeless problem. But, the final straw was my latest visit. No odd opinions shoved down my throat this time. Nope. They were closed during their posted business hours. So, from now on I suppose I'll drive out of town or buy my equipment online.

Also the store felt overly crowded barely any room to walk in there! We'll we wish them well..they did have lots of inventory but we just felt like we had to leave asap.

My daughter has been riding with Sadie for the 2 1/2 years now but am just now writing a review…read morebecause a) I feel I have enough background at this point to share an informed review, and b) I see some negative reviews that confuse me. RP was recommended to me by another parent at my daughters school and I was taken with RP immediately. Sadie loves her animals, and passes that love and respect on to the kids. While my daughter is not required to muck or feed, she loves taking part in these essential activities which are part of the whole horse experience. Caring for the horses is a beautiful thing and it has created such a bond between my daughter and all the horses, even the ones she doesn't ride. This, as well as all the general horse-care instructions Sadie imparts is what has made my daughter so comfortable on and around horses. I have shared RP with 3 other families that have all had great experiences with Sadie. RP is a small, family-run organization. As I see it, they are providing the community with a wonderful service: the chance for kids to learn horsemanship and riding skills without spending a fortune. As a former horse owner, I know Sadie is not making money off RP. She's doing it because she wants to share her love of animals/horses with kids. That is exactly what she's done with my daughter and I am so grateful to have a place like this in SB.

My son has been taking private lessons from Coach Paul for about 6 months and has been extremely…read morehappy with his lessons and progress. Paul is extremely patient and encouraging and is focused on teaching proper form and developing good habits, while making sure my son enjoys the sport and is meeting his personal goals. My son has improved dramatically, not only by gaining more technical skills, but also by gaining confidence in his abilities. South Bay Archery was also extremely generous and accommodating over the holidays, as our family was searching for a fun activity to do on New Year's eve with some friends. We booked a private party with Coach Paul and Coach Lani and everyone had a wonderful time! They made sure all 9 participants learned proper safety protocols, and taught our group how to shoot since some of us had no prior experience. They kept a good pace, explaining the challenges of shooting from further distances, and made things extra fun by creating a competition at the end, with the winner getting a prize! After that we relaxed and ate in the party room upstairs, which overlooked the shooting area. We all had a GREAT TIME! I encourage anyone looking for a fun group activity to check out South Bay Archery Lessons! I can't say enough about the kind, warm and engaging nature of both Coach Paul and Coach Lani, as well as the exceptional care and professionalism they put into all they do! We are looking forward to learning more archery skills and sharing fun times with South Bay Archery Lessons!

Making a reservation was easy, with a wide range of availability, and they answered any pre-appointment questions quickly. Upon arriving with my friends, the lesson all at once insightful, informative, witty, and encouraging. Coach Paul gave us helpful safety tips (side note: leave everything you know about archery from movies/tv at the door) and taught us all about the fundamentals. Coach Lani gave incredibly helpful tips that took my aim and shooting power to the next level. This is an amazing place, whether you've never held a bow before or a seasoned archer looking to take your skills to the next level. My friends and I left having already made plans to return!

Highly recommend this shop. Visited Bullock's Archery for…read morethe first time and I was very happy with the visit overall. I primarily went to have a new string installed on my bow. I live very far away from any shops but chose to drive an extra 40 minutes to this place because I heard so many good things about the service. For me it was all true. Due to my distance they let me make an appointment and wait for my service to be completed. The Gentleman who installed the string made sure it was fully setup and ready to shoot before I left and even gave me some good pointers to help with my form. I also purchased a takedown recurve for my young daughter who has been wanting to shoot archery ever since she saw my bow. The pricing was very fair and the service was fantastic. Everyone there from the staff to the customers was welcoming and the staff was especially knowledgeable. I am officially making this my recommendation for those in need of archery supplies and service. I did not take an actual lesson but the tips and adjustments given to me while I was testing out the new string were spot on. I am sure anyone getting a lesson here is getting the correct information needed to either learn to shoot or take their shot to the next level. 5 stars all the way...

First time archer and returning archers classes are reserve online. They fill up fast and you need…read moreto check the dates and times they come out on their website. I was fortunate enough to book a class, since they still had openings. In order to book, you are required to pay $5 per person, and each person shooting needs a reservation. For the first time archer classes you need to arrive 15 minutes to sign in, get placed with a group/instructor, get the gear (they measure your arms, for the bow and arrows) the first-time archer classes are 8 AM and the returning is at 10 AM. Our instructor was very informative and helpful throughout the class. We also benefit from having a trainee in class where he was shadowing the main instructor. He was helpful with assisting and correcting our form. I was in a group with 9 other people. Each group was led by an instructor and taken to their own shooting area to learn the etiquette, rules, and how to shoot properly. He provides demonstrations and tips for correct shooting. After each demonstration, instructor invited the group to the line to practice shooting. Instructions were very clear and helpful. At the end, they provide balloons as targets to shoot. If you were able to pop the balloon, you get a cool pin. After the class was done, the instructor gave us a card to show proof that we've taken the first class, and we can sign up for the returning class if we decide to. Parking is limited. There is a small parking lot and it gets filled quickly. Come early or park on the street and walk down the hill.

This archery range is something else. It is basically a trail with targets spread out, mimicking…read moredifferent hunting scenarios that you can practice for. There are also more of a long range targets if you are into that. The range is very well maintained, never too crowded, and the whole experience is just unmatched. I have been to several archery ranges and this is absolutely in its own league. Per City of Pasadena regulations you need to be certified to practice at the range, which entails about an hour long class and a small fee. Just keep in mind that it will take about a month to get your cert sent to you, so do it in advance. Absolutely worth it. Any interactions I have had with the staff and members of the club have been great. They also have classes, competitions, events, etc. Once a month (I believe 3rd Sunday of every month) they put up 3D targets, which are a lot of fun. Honestly, this place is a gem. P.S. It is also the oldest continuously operating field archery range in the world.
