Every other gun shop I've bought a gun from was only 2 trips. Turners keeps low stock of guns out of laziness. Pure and simple laziness. The associates don't care. They treat customers poorly ("What are you here for" instead of "Hello, how may I help you"). I had an associate who gave me attitude, so I asked for a manager. The manager actually cared and did a great job.

This was one of the worst customer service experiences I've had…read more My ammo order arrived at the store, but the staff made no effort to help me complete the process. No background check was attempted, and no clear instructions were given. I brought the required documents and was still treated poorly and dismissed. When I tried to cancel the order, I was told they couldn't help and was given a number that doesn't even get answered. Now I'm stuck dealing with an unfulfilled order and no support. Completely unprofessional and a waste of time. I will not be returning.

The property is large and mostly outdoors. They do have a small indoor range area that reminded me of a gym, but, I prefer the outdoor archery range over indoor. They do have more info on their website if you're interested in becoming a member. I'm thinking of joining this summer and their fees seem reasonable. They do offer two kinds of memberships. First is a working member, helping with range upkeep and tournaments as payment. Option two is an associate member, paying a fee for unlimited use of the range.

CONS: - The dude behind the counter didn't even look at us, acknowledge us, or didn't say a word to us. Not sure why people keep saying that the staff here are friendly. Got the feeling that they didn't like Asians in their store.

Had such a fun time! Came to Performance Archery for some lessons with my group and our instructor…read morefor today was Austin (? not sure if I spelled your name right lol). The session lasted for an hour, but the lesson was very thorough, yet easy to follow along with. I also appreciated the guidance during my first time here because it's so easy to feel intimidated and to not know where to even begin when it comes to activities like archery. I first started gaining interest when I went on a camping trip a while ago, so it's nice knowing that there's a spot nearby where I can practice with rental services (and with good company) on my own time.

We were able to shoot for most of the hour. Instructor was fun and clear and we made progress quickly. The shop is substantially bigger than I expected with huge selection if you're purchasing. But having an indoor range at a pretty central location is neat. Online scheduling was convenient and straightforward and the price of a class was fair so definitely give it a go if you're even remotely interested.

My youngest wanted to take a lesson here for her birthday. This was actually our second time here…read moreas my oldest wanted to come here for her birthday several years ago. They usually have offerings on Groupon for savings, however, it's also easy to book online from their website and pay directly. Ian was our instructor and he did an excellent job. He was very patient with us and definitely knows his stuff! The lesson started with basic safety and then proceeded to technique. He helped my youngest out by letting her try several different bows to make sure she was comfortable. I was pretty rusty, but ended up hitting the bullseye a couple of times. They usually do a round where you blow up a balloon and try to pop it with the arrow, but they were out of balloons this time. As a result, Ian created a challenge for us where whoever hit the bullseye, or closest to it, would win a Riverside Archery sticker. Surprisingly enough, on the last round, I ended up victorious and the proud owner of the sticker! Yay! They have open lanes for practice at certain times of the day and you can rent the equipment from them as well. Awesome facility and super fun activity! Highly recommend Riverside Archery!

Took my son here to harvest some pig this week. We were not disappointed. This place is more canyon…read morethan it is ranch, which is great. It adds to the hunting experience that includes good hiking, tracking, etc. Charlie (very helpful and personable) gave us about a 10 min orientation, a rundown and some tips, then took us to the rim of the canyon and sent us on in for our hunt. About 45 min in, we sighted our first animals (goats). And about an hour in, we saw our first pigs in "pig canyon". They were hiding in the shrubbery, and started to leave when we came near. We passed on taking one. A little more domesticated and not as big as I hoped to take (though they're decent size and will provide some good meat). So with that, we continued through the canyon- walking the hills, crevices, and dried creeks, Looking for the bigger game. About Two hours passed and we didn't see anything besides a ram and another couple goats. I started to question whether I should have pulled the trigger on the earlier ones. About three hours in, we saw her- a 450 .lb hog hiding in the bushes. She didn't drop on the first shot with my 6.5 grendel (she did, but got back up and took off) and led us on a 15 min chase before we could put her out quickly. Charlie and his buddy came down into the canyon and hauled our pig out for us. He was great and informative as he butchered for us. I came home with about 6-7 cubit feet (filled my freezer) of bacon, pulled pork, tenderloin, roast, and more. Highly recommend for new hunters. This hunt is what you make of it. 1-2 hours in you can take an easy target and get the meat, or you can choose to hunt for the bigger or more elusive animals like the big hogs or razorbacks and do some good hiking, looking, tracking. For me, the latter was worth it.

*Best Dick's in Town"…read more Dick's is a mega-corporate chain that's now the #1 sporting goods retailer in the U.S, with over 700 locations as of 2024. Dicks had an IPO back in 2002 and trades on the NYSE under the ticket symbol DKS. Their retail prices are standard. But also some very reasonable pricing and great discounts & sales too. I still miss Sport Chalet and Sports Authority that unfortunately filed for Bankruptcy back in 2016. I also prefer to shop local and support the Mom & Pop shops. But brick and mortar sporting goods stores have become dinosaurs...so I've grown to like Dick's. It's become one of my go-to's when I prefer to try something on or experience the product prior, opposed to online shopping. And Dick's has much better quality brands and inventory compared to Big 5. Been to this location a handful of times, and each time made a purchase. I've also ordered from their website once because the size of the item I wanted wasn't in stock. The layout here is decent but the store itself is always clean and pretty well-stocked. There's usually a fair amount of store team members wandering around either stocking or tidying the sleeves & racks. A few of the Team Members here are very helpful & kind and seem to care about customer service and experiences. Reason for knocking off a star? Some of the team members here, as well as the ones at the check-out register, appear as what I call "dialing-it-in and punching a time clock" because they act as tho they don't wanna be here...and are too cool for the room. I wonder if this stems from management here...or they haven't a clue and my reason for pointing this out. Because some of Dick's Team Members need to be better Team Players or go take a seat on the bench.
