A few notes after reading the reviews. 1) Jim is really the peak of bowmen....an archer's archer. I've gone hunting with others that have previously hunted with Jim. They told me that Jim took an Alaskan bear at 105 yards with a single arrow. When I confronted him with this, he said, "naw, it was only 100 yards"...... 2) He's been the paid factory rep - the face of the factory - for at least one bow manufacturer. Not an honor lightly achieved. 3) His whole family shoots at the expert level. Some will be there for training events. 4) Jim as a million stories and will give selflessly in showing you, your friends, your class, your league how to shoot. However, he does not suffer fools lightly and if you come in with the "customer's always right" or some other attitude, he will feel no need to help you any longer. Conversely, he is great with kids and clumsies. If you've ever noodled the idea of trying out a bow (I hate using long bows, but compound bows are great fun without pulling yourself apart), I highly recommend that you go visit and ask to try out a rental bow for an hour. Very inexpensive. If you don't get hooked, there's always chess or scrap-booking...... Jim - it was a privilege to shoot my first real bow there. My daughter is your biggest fan. I'll be back soon.

I rarely leave reviews, but I had to make an exception after the experience Jim gave us at the…read moreshop. I walked in with very little knowledge and walked out not only with everything I needed to get started with a longbow, but also with a wealth of insight and guidance. Jim took an incredibly generous amount of his time to make sure both my partner and I were set up for success, answering every question and making the whole process feel approachable and exciting. He didn't try to oversell anything at all one of the most up front and honest blokes I've come across. It's honestly the first time I've been to a shop that shows this level of care and attention to newcomers, it was an absolutely brilliant experience. Because of Jim, his mate Travis, and everyone else we met there, this is quickly becoming a serious hobby for us. If you've even thought about trying archery, do yourself a favor and stop by, Jim will have you feeling confident and eager to start shooting in no time. No amount of online bow shopping or research will compare to chatting to Jim about what you need! Huge thanks to everyone at the shop, you're all fantastic. Looking forward to those longbow shooting events! Can't thank you all enough!

Straight Shooter I…read morelike to buy my son experiences for his birthday. Last year I took him and his friends Paintballing and they had a blast. So, this year I figured we'd up the game a little and do some archery. Not willing to go out and buy a whole bow & arrow set, the next logical thing was to look around and see if anyone offers lessons. Well, I didn't have to look far, as Bowhunters Unlimited (BU) made it all too easy. The Good: *Just contact them thru their website and they'll put you in touch with a member that offers lessons. We lucked out and were matched with Linda, whom I believe is the VP of BU. She was terrific. Very patient, but stern, with a group of precocious teenagers. *They offer yearly memberships for $40/year for unlimited shooting. *BU is a private club that operates in a closed off section of Stevens Creek County Park. The area is beautiful and a great spot for outdoor activities. *Small paved lot w/ port-o-potties *The lesson was much, much cheaper than you'd think. $150/4 ppl for 90min is a bargain in this area of the world. This price includes the bows, arrows, and lessons. The Meh: *The drive up is very windy. So if you're really carsick, then this ain't gonna be for you. *Cell phone signal is spotty at best. Sometimes you have signal and sometimes you don't. It's very odd. The Ugly: *Bugs! So many bugs! I don't know what it is about this corner of the park, but we were being harassed severely by some kinda fly. Fortunately they don't bite, but imagine trying to focus on shooting while bugs fly around your face. Fortunately, I had some bug spray in the car, so that helped a lot. Conclusion: Fantastic location to do some fun old-timey outdoor activities of pretending to kill things! Cuz, Merikkka...

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!

The most attractive class is the Archery Beginner class! The 1.5 hr class cost $85 per person. The class is held at the River Ranch, near the entrance. You can take the free shuttle from the Lodge or just drive there yourself. On the day of the class, we have around 10 students with 2 teachers. Class starts with the detail explaining how to hold your arrow! Everyone takes turns to shoot arrows and then there are mini games & the fun balloon time! Can't imagine being able to shoot the balloon in the first class! Teachers are very patient and watch everyone carefully, so they can point out how to improve the gesture to make a more accurate shoot. They also prepared the arrow for the left-handed, how thoughtful they are! Be prepared to have a sore arm after class, you will shoot arrows for more than 10 rounds! Highly recommended to sign up for this fun experience! 此次入住CRV行前研究了一下每日的課程，有些是免費的，有些則需要額外付費，最吸引我的就是這個給初學者的射箭入門課，一個半小時的課程$85/人，課程位置在 River Ranch 入口處旁邊的草地上。可以直接從 The lodge 坐免費的園內車到 River Ranch，也可以自行開車過去。 當日報名學生共有10位左右，有兩位老師，一開始會先仔細解釋拿弓箭的姿勢，讓大家試射幾個回合，接著會有小遊戲還有射氣球的環節！很難想像第一次上課，就有辦法可以射到靶上的氣球！老師教得非常好，也會在旁邊仔細看每個人的射箭姿勢，再個別的給建議讓射出去的箭，能有更大機率射在較中間的位置！ 這堂課最棒的是，有特別準備給左撇子的弓箭，真的是很貼心！一堂課下來手一定會很酸痛，前前後後加起來大概每人都射了10幾個回合，很推薦來CVR的人報名上課！
