    My husband and I attended the beginner I group lesson a couple Saturdays ago and it was awesome! They prepared everything for you so you just need to bring yourself! We had coach Arezoo for the group lesson. She was funny, informative and experienced. The first 10 minutes we learned about archery, safety, what to do and what not to do. Then we begin the fun part- the actual shooting of the arrow. It was exhilarating and I just wanted to do that forever lol. If you've always wanted to try shooting an arrow, definitely do it here!

    I brought my team here for a Christmas party and it was a blast! Most of us have never shot a but everyone had so much fun. Kari was very helpful and a fun teacher. She taught all of us the fundamentals and laughed with us too! If you want a fun spot for the family or a team building event, Ohlone archery is a great spot.

    It was the kids first day of private archery lesson before they head to the group class and I couldn't be more thankful to our instructor. He was kind and 'kid friendly'. Mr. Woody explained everything through email and in person today-- very patient. Kids find him super cool. It was all about safety, and mommy appreciated that. The place is really nice!

    It's not the destination it's the journey...

    I adore Ohlone Archery. I would describe Ohlone as primarily an private indoor traditional archery range with a little archery shop on the side. Shop-wise, it's not the kind where you can just show up and find whatever you need. They do have a limited selection of items on hand, mostly archery accessories like if you need a new arrow rest or bowstring or an arm guard. The have a few bows on consignment that aren't particularly cheap. If you need something right away, they usually recommend Archery Only in Newark. That said, they are a local dealer for Lancaster Archery Supply (arguably the largest archery supply store in the nation) and you can pick gear from their catalog and Ohlone will order for you, and it should take a couple weeks to arrive depending on what you get. And if you're a member you get a discount. They also have an arrow fletcher on hand if you want custom arrows (and eventually--you will--want custom arrows). As far as the indoor range goes, because of covid they downsized/spread it out to nine lanes with tables in between each one. Two lanes are fixed at 10 yards or less and the rest are 20 yards or less. It's $55/month to be a member, and they're open 4-5 days a week (depending on season). You can also drop in for a single session but it's like $25 or something. Also if you're not an experienced archer you'll have to do a beginner course so you learn about safety, etiquette, shooting basics etc. They also have shop bows you can use if you don't have one of your own. There's also a nice little community of folks that are regulars, some who've been going to Ohlone for years and a few newbies like myself. Everyone is super nice and willing to share their knowledge and wisdom. Some of the staff are also great archers in their own right. There's also a few coaches that they can refer you to. They have sort of an informal league where people of different shooting classes and yardages can post their results up on a scoreboard. Occasionally people might regulate the line if you aren't using the right etiquette. And Aaron will yell at you if you move the bales without asking lol (don't move the bales without asking!). I think if people are members long enough they might invite you to some other events or outdoor shoots. Or so I've heard (ahem). Oh yeah regarding the name: "Ohlone Archery is named as a tribute to the indigenous people of the Central California Coast who roamed this area with the bow and arrow for thousands of years before us. Ohlone Archery does not claim to represent the Ohlone People or their culture."

    A great little range with everything you'll need and want. I first walked into this range 8 months ago to take my instruction/safety course (required). Since that day everyday I spent at Ohlone was a great day filled with great kind people. Everyone here is very kind and always willing to share tips that the picked up on over their years of shooting that will quickly help you become proficient as a beginner (pick Henry's brain). The community at Ohlone makes you feel at home and wanting to come back whenever you can. Ohlone is definitely well equipped, when I took my family to another range back in my hometown they had very poor equipment that was not fitting to get anyone into archery, the equipment was practically unusable. Ohlone has very quality recurve bows from Samick as well as plenty of arrows that range from different lengths based on your arm length. The staff here is great! Nico, the range owner is very kind and when you take your first lesson here he'll treat your right and teach you everything you need to know to get started! When you think you're ready to buy your own gear the shop owner's Henry, Charelle and Barbra will help you get everything you want and need at an affordable price. (there is house gear available for you to use as part of your membership). I was lucky enough to have been there for Ohlone's 5th anniversary and that's when I knew that I belonged here at Ohlone. Now I am just longing for the day my shoulder fully recovers and I am able to stand on the line again!

    Archery newbie over here! So happy that I stumbled across Ohlone Archery (all thanks to Yelp!) I came here with one of my good friends because we were looking to do something fun and new. Both of us had never really touched a real bow and arrow before...I mean, I had an archery unit back when I was in the 7th grade, does that count? We were instantly welcomed and realized upon arrival that it would have probably been a good idea if we had scheduled a lesson before showing up. Luckily, it was a slow day and we were given an impromptu lesson before getting our hour of shooting in. I learned so much about form and aim that I felt like a pro at the end of our session. Ok, that might be an exaggeration. But I felt pretty bad ass with my little forearm guard and 14lb. bow. There is so much skill and precision that goes into archery. In fact after this experience, my friend was inspired to purchase his own bow...and I think I might consider taking this up as a serious hobby as well. We spent $25 each for an hour of play. Make sure you come in comfortable clothing, you can't wear jackets on the line. And you're given a key to a locker if you bring your personals! Please visit this hometown gem and get your Katniss Everdeen on.

    I came here with a group of friends yesterday and loved every moment of my first archery lesson. Nico was personable, patient, knowledgeable, thorough, and a great trainer. I've always wanted to try archery and came to Ohlone through a Groupon deal. It was $22 for a couple which was totally worth it for a hours session, equipment included. I think it's $12 for a person through Groupon. We arrived 10 minutes early to complete our waivers and payment. After our group of 6 arrived we began with 10-15 minute safety and basic training. Nico picked out our bows and we practiced holding them properly and adjusted to the weight. When we started shooting he corrected our posture and provided helpful tips throughout the session. Midway we were shooting on our own like pros. The entire experience was seamless. I'll definitely be back to work on my aim. It was a lot of fun! If you can get 6 people in a class (total lanes available) it feels like a private lesson. We got some pretty awesome group photos in too :) Thanks for everything, Nico! Tips: - huge parking lot in front - wear comfortable shoes - book your class in advance, especially if you go with a group (max 6) - when you shoot: elbows up, take a few seconds to set up your shot and don't overthink it. Enjoy!!

    Bulls eye!

    This place only allows about 6 people to shoot at a time, but the facility is clean and friendly. We did a private lesson for $25 each and the owner Nico who was also the teacher was very friendly and helpful. He was very friendly, and informative on safety and technique. For this being the first time learning, the experience was great, fun and I would sure go back to this place again. Finding the place is a little tricky since it shares its parking lot with other industrial buildings and businesses and it was near the back of the lot. But it's basically right across the street from the marina outlets. Overall good place to learn archery. Also one of our friends said they learned more at this place then they did at the archery place in Newark. So if you're torn between which place to go to, I recommend this place.

    I was able to book a private party of 6 (mostly family) on short notice through email. Nico quickly responded and was very helpful answering my questions since this was the 1st time we were trying archery. Private Lesson: Nico went over safety, stance, shooting and aiming. He was very detailed and thorough. Watched everyone in the group and gave pointers as we were shooting. I went from missing the target to being able land 3-4 out of 5 in the middle of the target from 30 ft. Overall: Great experience for everyone in the group. They all loved it and had a fun time. I'll be back with my wife for sure.

    So fun!

Nestled in the peaceful surroundings of Los Altos Hills, the setting itself already makes you feel relaxed and focused while enjoying some sunshine. What truly stood out to me was how warm and attentive the coaches were. From the moment I arrived, they made sure I felt comfortable, guided me patiently through the basics, and offered thoughtful tips that actually helped improve my form. One of the Coaches was so funny , I enjoyed my interaction while hitting the bull's eye. It didn't feel rushed or transactional at all-instead, it felt like they genuinely cared about making the experience enjoyable and meaningful. One small but incredibly kind gesture that really stuck with me was that they let me continue practicing for a few extra minutes beyond my session. That level of thoughtfulness and flexibility made the whole experience feel even more special. Whether you're a complete beginner or just looking to try something new, I'd highly recommend this place. It's not just about archery-it's about the experience, the people, and the positive energy they create. I'm definitely looking forward to going back!
