    When you pay $10 and get a years worth of archery practice, it's hard to be less than satisfied.

    Stepping in here for the first time, I was only here to get archery lessons via their recurve…read moreclass. I was NOT expecting to pick up my first bow on that same day: a 20 lb takedown recurve. I've been shooting that poundage for roughly a couple months maybe before I quickly got used to it (and bored of the poundage I was drawing), so I picked up a couple of 35 lb bows, both of which were a proper recurve, and a longbow. So went nearly six months. Not just a couple weeks ago, I picked up my first pair of 45 lb limbs for the same takedown recurve bow, after trying out a 40 lb, 45 lb and a 50 lb recurve of the same make. Countless arrows lost, a few tips gone or so, and every single time I came back, I didn't have a bad experience. Getting guidance from people like Sam (I think that's his name?), and a few others, with their varying personalities, one of which seemed non-verbally intense, but I think he won't bite anyone, I have to be very impressed with the service I get here. Though, sometimes when I show up here, I get the impression that either there's not enough employees there, or it just seems dead, so getting something done there can take more time than expected. Every time I came here to get a new bow, or even replacement shafts and tips, I always never felt pressured to buy something. I felt like I was in my own natural habitat. And using their indoor range at if I remember correctly $12/hr (or perhaps it's slightly less) is actually a pretty sweet deal, at least in my opinion. Though, the one thing I have to gripe about, are whenever I go to their indoor range on a particularly warm and humid or hot day, someone always leaves the back door of the indoor range wide open, while running the A/C, which makes indoor shooting not only uncomfortable but also frivolous. I don't wanna even start talking about how expensive running the A/C during those times really is. Overall, even though they are one of the very few archery stores available here in the county, I can vouch this place as a great place to go to get started with archery.

    For our weekend road trip down south, we wanted to try something different besides tandem…read moreparagliding and good food. We found Performance Archery and their 1-hour intro lesson for $40 per person. Pretty fair deal. Me, my wife, and both our boys all tried compound bows. It was a tiring but fun afternoon. The next day, me and my wife definitely felt some muscles we do not use often. LOL. Our instructor, Todd, was very helpful and encouraging. He explained what we, as complete newbies, needed to know without making it confusing. Safety, stance, how to hold the bow, how to aim, and how to release. Just enough to get us started and actually enjoy it. He also gave a lot of praise to my youngest son, who showed some real potential. It was his first time ever shooting a bow, and he hit yellow at 10 yards. Beginner's luck? Maybe once. But he kept hitting yellow again and again. Because of that, I asked my youngest, who is 15, if he wanted to continue with archery and see where it goes. He said yes, so we ended up getting him a package that should last him a few years: an Elite Archery Basin RTS, a release, arrows, and a bag. He was super happy. The staff was also very helpful in setting up the bow for him. They adjusted the draw length, draw weight, and peep sight, and made sure it fit him properly. The only sad part is that this place is far from home. I checked Yelp reviews for places closer to us, and honestly, they do not look as encouraging. Overall, this was a really good afternoon. For $40 per person, the intro lesson was worth it. Fun, educational, beginner-friendly, and maybe even the start of a new hobby for my son.

    I was having some issues with my bow and decided to go out of my way to Willowcreek after having a…read morefew bad experiences with other local pro shops. I figured I would give them a try, and I'm extremely glad I did. From the moment I walked in, the customer service and treatment were amazing. Ms. Tina was the first person to greet me at the door, and from that very first interaction, I immediately felt welcomed. She honestly gave me back some faith in local archery pro shops. She took the time to look over my bow, replaced a missing screw on the cam, had me take a few test shots, readjusted my draw length, and even gave me pointers on my shooting form. What stood out the most was that she never once made me feel like I was being rushed or that I was bothering her. She was genuinely there to help someone who is still a complete beginner to archery. She also showed me around the shop, offered to let me demo some bows, and I even stayed for a while to shoot at their indoor range before heading home. Not once did she ask me to pay for the help she provided. That kind of customer service is becoming harder to find. Willowcreek made me feel like they actually cared about helping me enjoy and learn the sport, not just making a sale. They definitely earned my business, and I'll be coming back here for all of my archery needs!

    Bret, the owner, is absolutely amazing. I went with my friend a couple of weeks ago while he was…read moregetting his bow adjusted, and Bret took the time to help me too. He asked which eye was dominant, and I assumed it would be my right since I'm right-handed but it turned out to be my left! I had never held a bow before, and he got me set up with a left-handed bow to try. I loved it. He was patient, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience so fun and welcoming. I can't wait to get my own bow and come back to use the indoor range. I also found the cutest shirt while I was there. The shop itself is really neat, and I loved walking around seeing all the taxidermy from his hunts. Highly recommend checking this place out!
