I really enjoy coming to this place whether you are a beginner or an expert this is a place for you. This is my second time coming to this place, since it's been a while since I did archery I had to have an instructor jog my memory on how to use the bow. The people that work there have the patience to teach you and guide you to become a better archer. They charge $25 dollars (cash only) I thought I remembered them taking card before but I guess that changed. For $25 that gets you an hour on the range and a rental for the bow. Definitely a place I will come back! read more

This is my favorite place to be. Everyone is so super friendly, helpful, and so nice. I always wanted to take up archery. You get a free lesson on your first day, and I felt so confident afterwards I was able to shoot from the farthest line. Eventually we bought our own gear and now I am hooked!!! I go all the time. I totally recommend Queens Archery for anyone kids or adults, it's just a great environment to be in. Such good energy in there I love these people. 2 Thumbs up! read more

Hey thanks to Paul me and the wife had all the necessary tools and tips to have a great time at Queens Archery. Safety and technique were definitely emphasized. We had a full training group so I thought it was a bit too crowded (12 lanes) if I had any suggestion it would be to limit trainings to 10. Overall an A+ experience. read more

Came here for a lesson via groupon with my gf and for about a hour we had a blast. It included rental for the beginner's bows and a few arrows. The instructor was VERY friendly and enthusiastic about archery. I'd recommend this to any couple out there or anyone interested in competitive fun archery. read more

Amazing experience! I took the 90 minute lesson with 3 family members, the instructor was great and attended to every single person in our group of 13. He was very informative and gave us tips on how to shoot for the bullseye. Highly recommend! Definitely going back. read more

Queens Archery - Sports Clubs Near Me - Flushing, New York

Excellent little date with my lady at queens archery. Instructor was great fun whilst remaining professional. Only downside was my girlfriend beat me but I can't blame QA for that! read more

Great place with great instructor. Made sure we were all safe and good customer service as well. I'd recommend this place.

I came across them online , looking for things to do with my son who has Erbs Palsy. It never occurred to me using a bow and arrow, living in the city and all.We had so much fun! I loved it! The place can use a womans touch,lol but you figure not a lot of women are taking up Archery.So it's okay looking per mens standards, hunting lodge looks, seems to be a converted garage. The staff was pretty friendly and some of the regulars I met were pretty cool . Travel there sucks if you don't drive. It's a bit expensive (20 for rental w/lesson,20 an hour w/rental per person) They saw me coming! I was surprised at how much I got into it ,how much I liked it and just how much money I was willing to drop on it and I can't wait to go back. membership is worth it if u plan to go back.( going next week) if u just happen to have your own bow and arrows, cheaper rates. They sell used/new equipment there. They also have events, kids league (will get more info next trip) Here are a couple things to keep in mind: I'm a reject, I wore a v-neck summer dress...not ideal. Do NOT do that! Wear long fitted sleeves (u get some mild bruising/scraps on forearm.) Wear pants/shorts /tights (bending is involved) read more

My experience with Queens Archery so far: They put an offer through living social to get an hour of range time with rental for $15, which isn't even typical of the deals you get through living social (50% discount or better). I took the deal to have a bro's night out with a friend I never get to see. After buying the deal I contacted them about making an appointment for the range and their first response is no reservation necessary, drop in on friday. Then the vouchers came reiterating that appointments WERE necessary. So I call the shop and the guy starts telling me all his troubles about running the business and how he regrets doing the LS deal and how he's deciding not to honor any of the vouchers because he'll lose business if full paying customers show up. He's complaining to me about how 1200 orders in one day was such a bad thing for his business and how he's going to lose money that way. Hey guess what buddy? That's not my fucking problem. So after trying to reschedule with my friend and calling Archery back they now say they will only honor vouchers if people make appointments for hours AFTER they've closed to the public and not until October 1st. These guys seriously don't know how to conduct business if they think getting 1200 orders in one day is a bad thing. Now I can't do something cool with my buddy and these guys can go fuck themselves, because they certainly won't be getting my money, now or ever. There's an archery range in Brooklyn I think I'll try instead. By the way, this place is also not convenient to anyone unless you call taking the subway to the end of the line and then a bus for two miles convenient. The alternative is taking the LIRR and paying $20 just to get there and back. Nothing about this place is convenient or appropriate. read more

My friend and I are 5 foot tall girls who look like tweens, have tastes that lean predominantly towards the girly [what are these 'sports' you speak of?] and like to giggle a lot. We knew absolutely nothing about archery - we just thought it sounded like a really fun/different thing to try to see if we liked it [and maybe, slightly, pretend we were Robin Hood] - and I was convinced we were going to walk into a cliquey manly environment and be met with condescending attitudes for our appearance/inexperience. I'm happy to say I was completely proven wrong. Well it was definitely a manly place - the animal heads, weaponry, and poster of a scantily clad blonde holding a bow and arrow in sexy heels lining the walls don't let you forget it - but don't let that or your inexperience intimidate you! The people there were very nice and our instructor was incredibly patient and helpful, teaching us how to correctly load the bow, draw it back, hand/arm positions, tips on how to better hit the target, etc; and after working with us for a bit he let us practice by ourselves where, yes, our levels of giggling increased but slowly our nervousness decreased as we became more comfortable with the bow and arrow and were less fearful of pulling that sucker all the way back to our chins [at first I thought I would poke myself in the eye, in addition to thinking I'd accidentally be shooting arrows all over the place - both fears proved to be unwarranted and ridiculous]. You may also think doing it for an hour doesn't sound very long but your arm gets sore, and when your arm gets sore your aim gets shoddy, so it's really all you can handle on your first day. Highly recommend coming here to give archery a try. For only $18 [including equipment rental and the free lesson] you may find a new hobby you enjoy, or at the very least, you can brag to your friends, "I learned how to shoot a bow and arrow, what did YOU do today?" read more

So much fun :) Had the best time there, and felt as though we learned a lot and even managed to hit the center of the target on the first lesson! Our instructor Mike is clearly passionate about archery and it was great to enjoy such a cool new experience by someone who was equally happy to be there. Definitely coming back, the prices are beyond reasonable and I think I have a new hobby. read more

We were a group of 6, 1st timers and it was hella great. Definitely going to continue going. Everyone one was friendly and our instructor James was awesome big thanks to making it a great, fun, funny night.....it was real fun for a first time just be careful of not listening to the instructor because you will leave bruised lol... A must try before you die! read more

The instructor was very patient. He taught us how to draw back our bows just towards our chins and let it fly. Like at the instructor at Proline, our instructor was very helpful. I recommend both places! read more

UPDATE (original post below) I thought I would be revising my review up. Turns out, I have to revise it down from 2 stars to 1 star. Don't plan on returning here. The original review content is below, but this is why I can't recommend this place. I met with the owner, Al, on Tuesday to inform him my experience. I expected he would say something like, "I can appreciate how you feel and given the circumstances, I'll honor the deal" or some other gesture of good will. Instead, he was politely arrogant, and hardly listened to what I was trying to tell him. He said things like, "that deal is over", "we run these deals all the time on different sites...we're running another tomorrow on [some other] website", but you won't qualify for it, because you've already been here", "we don't control what they put on their site (referring to the instructions for getting the promotional price [without even looking at the printout I'd brought]", "we've sold 7000 of these promotions", "Don't feel bad about it, you got a good value [though they didn't honor the promotion]", "come on back." Now, we're talking about chump change, perhaps the cost of a McDonald's lunch, but for the owner to take the position he did made my girlfriend and I feel as if he thought we were trying to rip him off of a whole $15! It seems as if he thinks he's the only archery range and Pro shop in Queens. He's not. After meeting with him and leaving dissatisfied, we immediately went to Proline Archery in Ozone Park (http://www.archeryny.com - 95-11 101 Ave, Ozone Park, NY. 11416 - 718-845-9280). We found them to be very helpful, friendly, knowledgable and NOT arrogant. Their Pro Shop is well stocked, their prices are better than Queens Archery, and we plan to shoot there today. We are both likely to buy a bow or two (I'm likely to get one of both types, and she's likely to get just one). Save for this poor customer service at Queens Archery, they would have gotten that business. Al (Queens Archery) turned an opportunity to solidify a new customer relationship and make thousands of dollars in the short term into an opportunity for a competitor and two (actually four) would-be customers that will probably never spend another dime there. END OF UPDATE. BACKGROUND: I went to Queens Archery the first time Sunday, after finding out about it on the Daily News' website. I went there early in the day to see if I would want to try sign up later in the day. I liked what I saw and found Andrew at the pro-shop/counter quite helpful. He told me to check the Daily News website again to order the promotion on their site. I double-checked online and found there was no option to do that. The instructions said to print the page, call to make a reservation, and bring the printout with me to show at the counter. I did all that. When I called, Queens Archery was were booked up, but I stopped by in case there was a cancellation and was able to get into the class - so far so good. However, this is where the experience was not so good. I had to pay full price, as they told me I was supposed to order through the Daily News' website and give them a confirmation code. I showed the printout of the webpage with the precise instructions I followed. I explained that I double-checked the website, and there wasn't a link to do so. They suggested I call the Daily News to see why I couldn't order from them! Here I am, a new customer, at the actual vendor with 100% of the promotion price to pay them - which is twice what they would have received from the Daily News, since they would have kept the other half - with a printout of the instructions provided from the ad (that led me to them in the first place), showing that I followed those instructions exactly, and I'm being referred back to a middleman? Makes no sense. So what if I couldn't order through the Daily News? Queens Archery was getting the benefit of the ad for twice the revenue! I have to believe that the owner of the company will rectify this once I reach out to him later in the week - HE DID NOT - SEE UPDATE AT TOP. Not only did I have to pay full price, but I also didn't get the credit incentive to come back that was part of the promotion. In reality, this isn't about the money. It's about the principal of the matter. As a business man myself, I understand that the whole point of business promotions is to get customers in the door and aware of and interested in your products or services. The last thing I'd want to do is have an excited new customer leave disappointed, rather than completely happy about coming back and bringing friends in the future. read more

An excellent time!!! My other and I went there on a groupon deal where $26 gets two people a 90 minute lesson with use of equipment included. We chose the 7:30 class on Saturday night. Scheduling the sessions online was a breeze, even while using the groupon voucher. We arrived there about 7:20ish, just when they were finishing up the 6pm class. There are two ranges. I guess that is how they alternate the classes. The other range which had just finished up shot with a compound bow and our range, shot with a recurve bow. The instructor later told me that the compound is a bit easier to shoot with. OUr instructor was great. (Older guy with a Paul Sr. type mustache) He was very helpful and patient with everyone. After about a 15 minute tutorial on position, form and safety, we were shooting. Luckily my bow was pretty accurate, but I did find that others were adjusted correctly. I found people using the sight and hitting 4 arrows in the same spot way off their target, which means that sight needed to be adjusted. They really didnt get into that and just told those few people to adjust accordingly. I think its a bit unfair to those few people and they bow should be adjusted or corrected prior to the class beginning, but then again I dont know the nature of these bows and it might just be a random thing. Anyway, we shot from 5 yards, then 10 yards and finally 20 yards. We got to take home our targets :) All in all, it was a great time. I highly recommend everything to give this a shot, especially when deals come up on groupon or living social. Also we got a $10 voucher good for our next visit. By the way, I drove and there is tons of parking there. read more

Love this place so much!! Staff is very kind and fun! Highly recommend this location for people looking to try archery, whether it be for the first time or for pros! Great equipment, and kind staff to teach you and help make learning so easy. read more

My 15 year old daughter and I had a awesome time enjoying our Introduction to Archery through Groupon. Our instructor was pleasantly patient and attentive in our group of 10. I'm looking forward to coming back. read more

When i first saw the website for this place i was like hmm looks like a hole in the wall. My friend got a bunch of us to go and it was a good price. 20 buck for and hour and a lesson. I have to say the place is pretty good size. The ppl there are so helpful and nice. The archery, awesome we had a blast. We shot from two different distances. Had our own targets to take home. Laughed and just had a great time. Everyone enjoyed themselves and i definately wan to go back. Again i totally recommend that everyone try it out.!!! read more

I didn't really like the attitudes of the people working there. There's a way to speak that can convey to the customer of how knowledgeable one is of a field without coming off as arrogant. There's no fine line between being arrogant and confident. It's one or the other. 1- star for the instructors and store manager 5- stars for large space and nice interior 4- stars for good groupon deal for two people 2- stars for the price per hour to shoot a rental ($25/hour) Overall a solid 3. read more

The beginner's archery class was unbelievably fun. Our instructor had an impressive mustache and told us up front that archery was NOT like the movies--"You cannot shoot a bow while twirling." This did not stop people in the class from cheering "KATNISS/LEGOLAS!!!!" when you got a good shot in. It's a great place for a date, and the Groupon was a great value. I'll definitely be back! read more

If it's crowded it's tough to not be very close to the people next to you. However staff is very nice-ask for help if you need help with anything! Happened to be shooting next to the owner who was very nice and helpful. read more

My husband and I purchased a groupon for the introduction to archery class. We had a great time! Our instructor was very informative and gave great feedback on how to shoot better. I would return and recommend to others. read more

Awesome experience. Bought the Groupon for my wife and I for a lesson and some shooting time what a great experience. The instructor was great, We Learned so much. I didn't realize how great of a sport this was. I purchased my first bow and will definitely be back. read more

We took the Intro to Archery class with the most patient, funny and talented instructor who gave individual attention and excellent instruction (James, I believe). Had such a great time, definitely looking to return! read more

My husband and I used an Amazon Local deal here on Sunday evening and had a great time. Our instructor was terrific (I forget his name, but it was the 6:00pm class) and he made the class a lot of fun. The instruction was very thorough and I felt confident that I knew what I was doing (although a lot of my shots went wide, at the 20 yard line I did finally hit the bulls eye!) The only downer for me was the focus on hunting in the decor (deer heads on the wall, lot of photos of people posing by dead animals) - I guess I should have expected that, but for some reason I didn't. All in all a really fun date night though. read more

Work life can be really repetitive and boring sometimes. My normal routine is to go to the gym Mondays and Wednesdays after work, eat, and go to sleep but this week I just felt too bored and just wanted to do something different. I decided to search online for cool things to do on group on and found Queens Archery. I called them and they said although the group on doesn't apply on week days I can still go and get a lesson for $25 and so I did. I went alone and got a lesson with James and it was awesome. Perfect activity to let off steam and learn a new skill! I used the traditional (harder bow!) bow and I learned pretty quickly - the instructor James did an awesome job teaching me. You get a bow and a pouch. I felt like Robin Hood lol. He taught me for about 15-20 min and then let me try out some rounds on my own (you get 4 arrows and then you have to get them back and refill the pouch they give you). Overall, it was an awesome lesson and I'll be coming back! read more

Came here because of a Groupon deal, and I had a wonderful time. The instructor was extremely patient, went through all of the basic techniques of how to shoot, and gave each of us individual attention to correct our stance, or adjust our positioning. The bows were easy to use and I would love to come back another time. read more

Went there for my Kids. Got the Groupon for the lesson. The staff are friendly and very knowledgable. It was a good lesson and practice. My kids had a blast. Will definitely going back. read more

Came here on a Sunday afternoon with one other friend and it wasn't too crowded. We managed to make it just in time for the 3:00 lesson group with 6 other people. Since it was our first time there, we first got a 15-minute crash course in the basics of archery. The instructor was good; he showed us how to properly stand, hold the bow, etc. After the lesson, the instructor left us alone and we were free to shoot to our heart's content for the rest of the hour. Each round was 4 arrows, and we managed to shoot about 10 rounds - although how many you shoot really depends on the speed of the rest of your group, since you have to wait until everyone's done shooting before you can go retrieve your arrows. All in all, for $20/hour, it was a lot of fun! Would definitely recommend it as a unique activity to try out, and you can even keep your target board as a souvenir. And it's only a 10-15 minute bus ride from Flushing, so once you're done shooting, you can go check out the eats there :) read more

My fiancé bought a groupon deal and this was the best decision ever. It was easy to schedule. The group intro class was fun and had a great crowd. The instructor was very informative about safety, he was funny, and experienced. He even gave pointers on how to aim. A little difficulty to get to with public transportation, but well worth it. We'll definitely sign up for another class. read more

I had a great experience here. This was my first time doing archery and the instructor made it less intimidating. I had an amazing time learning and intend to return! read more

Awesome place. Got a deal on groupon so thought I would check it out. My only gripe is it's kind of hard to get to by public transportation. Awesome place the instructor I had was great, really charismatic & outgoing he seemed to be very knowledgeable & gave a great block of instruction. I would definitely come back. read more

My boyfriend and I went here on a double date with my friend and her boyfriend. We bought the Groupon, which was a really good deal! The lesson was well-done, the instructor kept us engaged, and he gave us constructive criticism that helped us improve. The only downside was that there were about 2 dozen people at the same time squeezing into the tiny space and I felt like we didn't get enough one-on-one time with the instructor, which I think we need as newbies. Otherwise, it was overall a fun experience and would definitely go back. read more

Definitely a 5 star experience. I am a total beginner and have never even held a bow before, but this place was so awesome in their tutorial for beginners. The guy who taught our group was James and he was really clear and patient with us newbies. First and foremost is safety so make sure you listen to them because while this is a really fun activity, you're still shooting a weapon. James is really funny and has a little bit of sarcasm, but that's what makes the lessons fun! I highly recommend this place to anyone who lives in the area and is thinking of shooting. It's even a fun group or date activity! read more

Went there with my hubby brand-new to Archery had a great time. Not only did the instructor give clear and useful instructions he also manage to be funny and entertaining. He made our experience as bran new archers very very comfortable. He gave great tips in order to enhance the lesson. I would recommend this as a great activity for people who want to step out the box and try something fun and new. You may surprise yourself how good you can really get. can't wait to return with the hubby. Queens Archery rocks. read more

I'm so glad I found this place, it's close to me and easy to get to. Everyone who works there are very friendly and the rates are reasonable. They also provide lessons for beginners. The instruction took about 10-15 minutes and you can shoot as many times as you want in the one hour, plus you can take the target home. At first I was thinking, only one hour?! But after that hour, my arms were tiring from pulling the string and holding the bow, such a good work out. Have to mention, before today, I've never done archery before. But, I shot the target, right in the middle, I shot the arrows to the center of target! THAT, felt AWESOME, as a first time shooter, I had so much fun. I'll definitely go back and recommend my friends too. read more

Good, simple fun! I went here with my friend tonight and we both had a blast! I was very straightforward. The instructor was outstanding. His name was Mike and it felt like a friend I have known for years was just showing me how to shoot this thing. He stressed safety but did not psyche us out at all. The place was clean and parking was pretty good too. There was no hassle to sign up and when I reserved the appointment only it was also pretty seamless. I didn't meet anyone else who worked there so I dnt know how they are, but I can say if they are anything like Mike then they are just fine. Also the kinds of people who attended the 90 minute class and free shoot with us were good, friendly people. Probably 60% dates and 40 % friends. A kid was there too but he was the only one. read more
