Puddletown is a phenomenal experience for anyone aged 6 to 60. It is a fairly small business in a…read morequaint town run by a couple of the coolest guys. My friends and I are a couple of 20 something year olds and we had a great time together shooting each other with arrows in the growing sport of "arrow dodgeball". Not only was this experience an hour and a half of fun filled brawling among friends, but it was also an educational experience of a less common game that gives a serious cardiovascular workout by the end of it. We even got an opportunity to mess around with a couple of their vast collection of nerf blasters, of which, there were dozens of different sizes, speeds, nerf bullet variants etc. I would strongly recommend this experience to anyone looking to get out of the house and try something new, have a child's birthday party that would be impossible to forget or just need an excuse to pick up some bows or nerf guns and just unwind and feel like a kid again! *Side note, the guys that run Puddletown are actually in charge of many of the bar trivia events in CT. Bar Rated Trivia is something I've been doing for a couple years now, but like trivia, I expect puddletown to grow at an increasing rate among younger people and older people alike.*

So after some googling I came across Connecticut Archery. I gave them a call and they were able to do a lesson that day. I went up there not really knowing anything about my compound bow. Nate was very helpful, patient and gave me some good advice during my lesson and adjusted my bow. I stayed after the lesson to practice my new skills and then Mike (the owner) showed up. I got another lesson from him. He fine tuned everything that I had learned with Nate. You can really see Mike's passion for archery. He is great teacher and pays attention to all the small things that can make or break that shot. I had an amazing experience at Connecticut Archery and I'm definitely going back to keep honing my skills!!

He was helpful and watched/critiqued us for the entire time that we wanted. He did everything that he could to help and make it a fun experience. Because of him I was not nervous or worried about how well I was performing. I was not able to shoot at my target but was consistently shooting far above it, and my fingers hurt...he gave me a new bow with less tension, changed my sight, told me to try the finger pads...he helped in every way possible while others would have probably been annoyed. He was just an extremely nice person who genuinely wanted to help you and see you improve. I would go back, for sure.

They were very informative and they made sure that they deliver a very interactive class. The classes also had 5 and 10 minute breaks in between so it made the time pass quicker. Be prepared for an 8 hour class and bring snacks and candies to avoid being sleepy :) They provide coffee and some snacks too (brownies and pastries). The class that we took was a two day event, 2 hours on a Friday and 8 hours the next day, Saturday. Since we live in the city, we had to check in a hotel to save driving time. It was a great decision as the hotels are only 5 minutes away and not expensive. Excellent class overall!
