    I am new to archery. But I think I would be challenged to find a more scenic, challenging and fun place!

    One Sunday on our way back from church we stopped by Oranco because we knew it was open to the public on Sundays.

    Very attentive and knowledgeable staff. Great customer…read moreservice ! The stock of fishing gear is expansive.

    This review is directed at ownership and management…read more I frequent Turner's for fishing gear and have consistently had positive experiences with the older gentleman in that department. He's knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and genuinely helpful. He represents what a specialty retailer should be. I've spent 1000's on firearms and ammunition over the years. Unfortunately, this visit was the opposite. I came in looking for M&P Shield 9mm magazines. Only one in stock -- not a problem. I figured I'd grab some ammo while I was there. As I stood in front of the ammo section trying to read the boxes, two employees directly in front of me made zero effort to acknowledge me. Not a "Can I help you?" Not even eye contact. Instead, they were occupied repeatedly racking the slide on a pistol and discussing how it was "blemished." The way it was being handled made it feel less like product inspection and more like someone building a case for why it should be discounted. I can't say for certain that the larger employee was intentionally trying to create or exaggerate wear to justify purchasing it himself -- but if that wasn't the case, the optics were spectacularly poor. What really stood out was the conversation. They were openly speaking negatively about other customers -- people who sounded like regulars -- directly in front of me. It takes a certain level of tone-deaf confidence to mock customers while another one is standing three feet away. I finally asked if they might have additional magazines in the back. The larger employee ignored me initially. When he did respond, it was with, "Are you talking to me? I'm doing paperwork," as though customer interaction was an unreasonable interruption. This was moments after he demonstrated that he was fully capable of multitasking slide manipulation and social commentary. I briefly considered asking for a manager, but decided it wasn't worth engaging further. If basic awareness and professionalism are optional on the floor, that's a leadership issue, not just an employee one. I left disappointed -- not because inventory was limited, but because the standard of service was. Specialty stores survive on expertise and professionalism. When that slips, you're just a warehouse with attitude. I hope management takes this seriously. There are strong employees at this location. Unfortunately, consistency appears to be selective.

    I can't give too much of a review, it really didn't work out right from the start…read more Both instructors seem like very nice men, however, the program has some critical problems. Their "adult class" consist of persons as young as 13 years old. A man sized opponent really isn't fair to a person as young as 13, I fence epee. Also, I am not interested in fencing with children, but adults. that is not offered there. it's $230.00 a month for 3 times a week. That's rather costly to face the distraction of children. There are not many offerings in the area, so the lack of a true adult fencing program or club is problematic. Now, if this were for my children, I would absolutely recommend it, but this is for me. You' think that in San Diego County, there would be MORE available for adult fencers. The argument presented that there just isn't interest is absolutely false. It's just that adults aren't fencing because there aren't fencing clubs for us specifically. it's by it's nature not an expensive sport. but if I am going to pay in excess of $230.00 a month, it's going to have to cater to actual adult fencers. This said, I am very glad this is available to children, I was a child when I began fencing. It was a wonderful activity that kept me out of trouble and I had a lot of fun. In order to sign up for this, you have to go through the city Parks and Recreation departmental. In speaking with them, you can't possibly talk to a more unpleasant and unhelpful person. That experience detracts from the "class" altogether, which is why my ratings is only three stars compelling me to drive 2 to 3 hours away to OC or LACO so I can actually have the club experience that I want. I'm glad this program is available for kids, if you want your kid to train to fence, this is a great place. Champions will be made there. More on the coaches. Maestro Eric (Coach) is a responsive coach, and a very pleasant coach. Really upbeat and wants to address this. However, city parks makes this a real issue and are more geared toward children. Whereas I am interested in adult competitive olympic fencing. Without a doubt both coaches would be perfect to train me. But city parks and recreation make that impossible. However, should that ever change, I would very much like to see if going there to train would be a better fit for me as they are local and I am driving two hours to train now.

    I don't live anywhere close to Gryphon, but found a Groupon (this is awhile back now) and it…read moresounded like a great time, so we made the drive down from Burbank and we had an excellent session. It's a helluva workout and if I lived closer I'd probably get into more often. The staff was excellent, knowledgeable and patient which all the people who originally think that they're there for Pirate training, Tip: you're not! If you're thinking about it, just do it and you'll be happy that you did!
