I tried archery here for the first time and had such a fun experience! Booked a surprise archery lesson with Gabi. She was super patient and great at explaining the importance of the safety features and proper posture of archery. The staff overall were super welcoming and took the time to walk us through the basics, which made it really beginner-friendly. They explained safety, helped adjust the equipment, and gave helpful tips on how to improve our aim. The range itself was clean, organized, and well set up, which made the whole experience feel comfortable even for someone who's never done archery before. It was more about grouping the arrows versus trying to hit the bullseye. Definitely a great activity if you're looking for something different to do with friends or family. I'd recommend it whether you're a complete beginner or just want to try something new. Looking forward to coming back and improving my aim! read more

This was my first time ever shooting a bow and arrow, and I received this class as a gift. The experience was fun overall, but as a beginner it would have been helpful if the instructor asked about prior experience and provided a bit more guidance with the equipment. The class was small, which was a big plus and allowed for more personal practice time. Instruction was okay once it got going, and I appreciated having time to learn at my own pace. Overall, a good experience with room for improvement for first-time archers. read more

We dropped in here and we had a good experience. We took a beginners class and the staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. I've taken an archery class eons ago. This one definitely felt a little more hands on as it was a smaller class. Although the ambiance is a little run down, I'd still recommend coming here. read more

my experience was great. the instructors are very kind and explain everything. for a family run business it is amazing. I go there so much more often then my other place now. read more

This is such a great, well-run, reasonably priced, family own and family run archery range and school! My husband and I took lessons here years ago, and they were so patient and helpful. Later on, we bought our bows, custom arrows, and custom bow case here. We still come here to rent lanes for practice and to bring friends for lessons. The family still owns and runs it and they wonderful people! read more

Awesome first experience with this shop. I'm an older guy, first time into archery, and brought my fairly new compound bow for tuning and to check my setup. Chris was patient and accommodating, and even though I didn't buy my bow from him, I felt as if I was his top customer. The service was priced extremely fair, and he didn't try to stack any unneeded service onto the visit. I wish I knew of this store and archery range years ago, as I would've brought our kids here for lessons. Now I know how some scouts shot better than others at summer camp! Chris also quickly took care of another customer with a service drop off, showing me he didn't want her to wait unnecessarily. This place is high quality, and I will buy my next bow from them, just because I know I'll be cared for years. I'll also gather some local friends to enjoy some range time together. read more

Terrible first experience. We paid extra for instruction and were assigned to Gabby (employee with facial piercings). She was cold, unfriendly, and made us feel like we weren't welcome -- even though we were the only customers in the range. Her negative attitude made it uncomfortable to ask safety questions, which is the whole reason we paid for guidance in the first place. For the amount of money charged, the lack of professionalism was unacceptable. This ruined the experience for me and my group. Save your money and go somewhere else. read more

It's been 30 years since I touched a bow, so I was a little anxious and excited to visit Pacifica Archery. I reserved a lane online with ease, which includes a brief tutorial. The location is conveniently located just off of 280, parking is pretty easy. When I arrived, I was punctually ushered to the archery lanes, and provided the hand grip, bow, arrows and quiver. The gal helped me remember all the ins and outs and coached me through a few arrows until she knew I was comfortable, and then she went back to the front desk (which has full view of the lanes) and I was off! There's convenient little cubbies to store your stuff just next to the lanes. The lanes are indoors, close but not TOO close, and backed by a sturdy amount of barriers for even the most erratic shot... and being the only one there, the field was mine! But of course I stuck to my designated target. A small group joined me and we all had a good laugh as we attempted to find our inner Robin Hood / Princess Merida (Brave). It was a lot of fun and I would recommend for solo or for groups! The staff were super helpful and very knowledgeable about all things archery. They have a beautiful selection and do repairs as well. Lastly - wear tight fitting clothes and a strong waistband/belt you can attach your quiver to! Find your inner archer as soon as you can! read more

We had such a fun afternoon at my first archery experience. We got a couple of groupons for the four of us, including a quick intro lesson and an hour of practice. I thought the staff was great and knowledgable and was able to handle a range of beginner levels. I appreciate that our instructor offered some tips throughout the session. The one small critique I have is the lanes are pretty tight and I wish there was just a little more breathing room between users. Besides that we had a great time and would definitely go back. read more

Decided to come here to get back into archery. It's been more than 12 years. Chris helped me out and I was able to pick up a good recurve bow. Bought 2, one for me and one for my son. Chris picked out a bow for him with an appropriate draw weight. He showed him the basics. He's better than me compared to when I first started, haha. I WAS going to get 3 bows, but my daughter said no. If I decide to get a compound bow or need arrows and supplies, I'm coming back here. read more

My compound bow's strings came off because of a dry fire and needed fixing. Marnier quoted me $25 and fixed the bow in 15 minutes including fixing my sight. I highly recommend this place because of his great customer read more

Quick lesson and great tips from our teacher, she caught that I was over-tensing my shoulder and left arm! Super fun, used a Groupon voucher, they were very accommodating with needing to reschedule many times, and I liked that they left us too it once we knew the basics and wouldn't hurt anyone/were safe. They also let us replace our target when it got chewed up. Super friendly staff, friendly clientele as well. Great safety culture. Distance options for archery. Seems like a great consistent place to go, nothing flashy, just archery! read more

Brought middle schoolers for a lesson and the instructors did great! They were very patient and attuned to my kids with special needs learning. Clean place with amazing staff, definitely a fun place to go when wanting to try something new. read more

Overall, it was a cool, fun, new experience for someone whose never tried to shoot some arrows before. What you get? You get a very brief safety introduction, your bow, Quil, arm and finger guards, and 6 arrows. Then about 55 minutes to fire as many arrows as you can. That said, the people who were there didn't do much in terms of show you how to load your arrow, aim, and fire. They kind of just left you to figure it out all on your own. Truth is while they [the Archery staff] were all gabbing away, loudly I might add, the seemingly seasoned guy who just happened to be practicing with his very complex looking crossbow offered more tips to help us out. Nevertheless, if you're looking for something different and unique, give it a shot (literally). But don't expect some enlightening help or advice from the staff while you're there. read more

This was on my bucket list and I had bought a Groupon years back that has expired. I didn't use it this time but I was informed by Eric that I can use it next time. Staff: Eric was awesome. I had left a message prior to booking online and he called and returned my call. Was very friendly and helpful. Upon our arrival his other colleagues were very welcoming. Facility: clean and very organized. It also looks like they're very well stocked with all supplies if you chose to purchase your own Jow and arrow, etc. Price: I think they're successful because their prices are pretty reasonable. If you see them on Groupon definitely take advantage of it. It's worth it. Eric was our instructor and he was very helpful. He gave us detailed info and gave us the opportunity to ask questions. We were fortunate we were the only ones there so we had the place to ourselves . We will definitely be going back. Masks are required. Thank you, Eric! We enjoyed our first time and can now check it of my bucket list. read more

Happy 20th anniversary Pacifica Archery:) My friend told me we were going to an archery class 15 minutes beforehand. I had no time to research or prepare. Talk about spontaneous, it was so fun! I had no prior experience and believe I have bad hand eye coordination, but the teachers here made it so simple and easy to follow. We had a one hour class, and they taught us everything starting with form and posture, to how to hold the bow and arrow, and how to aim. At the end of class we had free time to just shoot around. I did better than I thought I would thanks to their expert adjustments and constructive criticism. If you're on the fence about coming, I totally recommend getting out of your comfort zone and trying it out. Take that pent up anger and aim it at the target! You are going to feel powerful. read more

A fun and super chill group activity! The tutorial is fast and informative and with helpful tips from Chris, we improved rather quickly within the halfish hour we had to shoot. Equipment and targets are arranged based on height. And although the range feels somewhat small (half the venue is a shop), it can accommodate ~15people (?) and usually two people to a target. It can get a bit slow paced since you have to wait for everyone to finish firing their bows before retrieving it, but we were able to get a good number of rounds in. Looking forward to coming back soon! read more

Great location...not enough parking spots, but never been out of luck with finding one. I purchased a groupon back in November of 2019 that was expiring in February of 2020, so on the absolute last weekend of its availability, I used them. It was Darian's first time at an indoor range, but we had previously gone to an outdoor one with a close friend who did a great job of teaching him the basics. So instead of us using the groupon, we gifted it to two of our other friends who have never done archery before. We watched them take their beginner's lessons while getting to shoot. The lanes are a bit smaller than what I'm used to, but the whole store front is quite big. They sell a lot of different equipment and high in inventory. Checking in process was easy, and those who were working at the time doubled up as the cashiers and instructors. Friendly, informative, and personable. Hope they are doing well amidst the pandemic. I totally recommend (if open) to come through to Pacifica Archery whether it's your first time or are just looking to practice. read more

Rude and horrid customer service. The guy behind the counter chastised me because I arrived 2 minutes before an archery lesson when he told me on the phone to be "10 minutes early." IF THE TO START IS TEN MINUTES BEFORE THE SCHEDULED START TIME, CHANGE THE START TIME! More recently, in-store shopping is by appointment only and "walk-ins" have to call to request to come in. The guy who answered was rude, brief and provided single word answers. No information. No social skills They know they have a monopoly on full-range archery stores in the whole area and believe they can be as rude as they please because of it. read more

It's really the only indoor archery range in the area, and thankfully the service is good and the facilities are clean and organized. Good place to hangout with a few friends and shoot some arrows. Make sure to make your reservation a few days or a week beforehand because it fills up quick. They have a good collection of gears for sale and offer repair services on bows as well. I haven't tried those out yet, but from what I've seen they do a solid job. read more

I love Pacifica Archery! The price point is really unbeatable for newcomers like me trying out archery for the first time. I think the equipment is great, the people I meet here are always so willing to help me, I really have a great experience every time! read more

Great for all levels of archers! I am a total beginner and got to take one of their courses. The instructors are super knowledgeable in all things technique and safety prior to when you're out at your lane shooting. You get about 7-8 arrows and after everyone is done shooting, the instructor will announce "clear" so that everyone can pick up their arrows. What I also like about this location is that the instructors will give you feedback on your technique so that you're able to shoot at the target. For a lesson, with lane and equipment included, it's only $60 and they have a generous cancellation policy of 24 hours before your lesson time. They were also very accommodating when I had to move my reservation. All orders were taken over the phone. Pacifica Archery also sells bows, arrows, and other equipment. As a side note, they do not do any crossbow lessons. read more

Got a few things to get me started at this store. If you need something the day-off it's a good place to go. Prices are reasonable. Unfortunately, I wouldn't be able to recommend them for anything else. Their lessons are sub-par and way over priced for what is supposedly an advance lesson... And if it is your first lesson they charge you and extra $100 to "setup" your equipment for you. Whether it is to simply string your bow for you or tune your arrows to your bow, it's the same $100 charge. Hence your lesson ends up being $180. At any archery club in the Bay Area, you get the same or better for $45. Most online stores tune your equipment to you for free. The really sad thing is you want to support these brick and mortar shops, especially family owned ones, but they don't seem to understand they need to step up their game to compete. At least much better service, both sales and especially after sales would be nice. If you can't compete with online stores both in price and selection. The least you can do is provide excellent service, but sadly that is not the case here... And okay, just isn't good enough in today's market. read more

We went there to learn , A good instructor will tell you the safety first, what you should not do before / not after it happens I like Archery but definitely I would choose another store read more

Really like this place. My first time at a archery in California. Nathan, who was helping us was very good. He offered a quick tutorial to help us get started. Prices are reasonable. Overall archery was fun and would recommend it. They have flexible time slots in 30 min increments and place was not crowded. Signing in process was pretty straight forward. For two of us, equipment, gears and lane rental for one hour ended up being around ~$50 which is not bad. Would highly recommend. read more

First time trying archery ever. Had a lot of fun. The instructor was very nice and helpful. Had a lot of fun. Don't know much about archery but I thought the equipment was in great condition. They have two different distances you can try. Again, haven't been to other archery places but I thought it was a little pricey however they did say that the next time would be cheaper since I already did the lesson. read more

This is my second time doing archery, but my first time doing it indoors. I'll probably stay with indoor (so I don't have to fetch arrows in the grass when I overshoot lol). Staff was friendly from when we walked in to the very end! This place is great for a couple people, for more than 2 people I would say it's best to make a reservation as the lanes are pretty tight. I appreciate that they have a brief tutorial on what to do, without taking 30 minutes to explain. Overall my best friend and I had so much fun! Highly recommend! read more

So much FUN!!! Groupon deal was worth $80 for 2, which includes lesson, rentals, and shooting all for one hour. $80 for one hour is pretty steep, so I wouldn't have ever tried it if it weren't for the groupon deal that was half off, $40 for 2! For the steep original price, it loses one star. But the experience itself was great. Good teachers, except I didn't take their advice of looking at the dot below the circle but rather just below the target. I think it's different with each person. Just learn the form from the teachers, but use your own technique to aim! I want to come back!! read more

I love having this shop so close to home. Marnier set me up with my first bow about a year ago and I've never had any issues (that i didnt cause at least lol) I've since then returned to buy new sights and releases, that Eric helped me with and was super knowledgeable. I even placed my second bow order with Marnier and cant wait to get it dialed in. Staff has always been great to me, and make me feel comfortable every time I step in and have questions. read more

I had my first experience with archery here and the employees seemed knowledgeable and gave us equipment ahead of time as well as going over proper safety rules. Each lane has its own target that you can shoot at your own pace. Once everyone has finished with the arrows you signal by saying "clear!" before everyone can approach the targets to retrieve the arrows. Very simple way to keep everyone safe! read more

Our little cub scout loves this place. After his bow came in the lesson he received from Rudy was fabulous. He had a very no pressure, no stress, teaching style, while he emphasized on the technical aspects of the bow with a strong emphasis on posture. It left my son happy at the end he said he had a lot of fun. He said his favorite part was aiming at the balloons Rudy put up to aim for. All the positive reassurance worked well for him in the kids session a few days later, and he said he was able to remember most of what he learned from the lesson. My son said he learned so much that he feels really comfortable with his new compound bow and he appreciates that the people that work there always help when he needs it. The staff there have been super friendly and have been great in explaining how archery works to us novice. There's too much risk in buying a bow online without the proper instruction. I think it is becoming his official hobby. As a parent, I feel that my kid is in safe hands during the sessions. The kids seem so well behaved. Maybe, it's also that the kids are all busy concentrating! read more

Pre-COVID, really friendly, easy for beginners. A lot of real archers practice here too. We came here a long time ago, on Halloween, a staff dressed as Wednesday (very good one) helped me learn (I was slow) made sure all our friends had fun, even spoke a bit Chinese to my visiting parents. She learned it in school . Every one really appreciated the friendly service. I hope to go sooon after covid. They a fun taxidermy display too. It doesn't look like much from outside, but is very spacious, allows ample social distancing and a lot of cool stuff inside read more
