Alena N.

Been here a few times now for open lanes and equipment rentals. This time around I'll be going back to purchase my own bow. The staff here are extremely friendly and knowledgeable. I was nervous going in at first since it was my first time trying out Archery and I left feeling nice and relaxed. The instructors are helpful and patient and make sure you have a great time shooting. I'd definitely recommend and will be bringing friends here for the open lanes. I love going and meeting others who are beginning out in archery like myself. I've also met some more experienced shooters and everyone here is so friendly. Great little community. I'll update once I've purchased bows and arrows here, so far only been to the range and lessons

Shooting lanes.
George M.

Bruce who works the range is always very helpful. Lanes fill up on the weekends, reserve your lane on their website.

Learning the form
Sarena B.

This was our sons first time trying archery and thanks to the two coaches it was a great first try!!! Although I'm terrible with names, I wanted to thank both coaches profusely! (I think the young man was named Bowden [how apropos!].) We were accepted and made to feel included in the lesson. We will definitely be back as my son LOVED it!

After 1 hour at 20 yrds.

Hey I'm a total beginner. Just bought a compound bow a week ago. Figured I should take a class to get some coaching from an experienced archer. Wow, in just an hour I felt way more comfortable with the bow, my anchor point, and stance/posture. My instructor helped hone in my sight distance and with his helpful tips we began to narrow my arrow grouping. I'm excited about my progress and what I'm sure will be a lifelong hobbie. I'll be practicing for a while and then looking forward to another class. My instructor, John, I believe, was great. I would recommend him and Wilderness. I've had nothing good experiences with the staff and instructors.

My Grandson shooting his bow
Bob V.

I took my grandson here for our first time shooting a bow. Bruce was the Range Master and he instructed my grandson. Bruce did a great job of explaining. My grandson had a wonderful time and wants to go back and do it again. He really wants to shoot more in the bullseye. Thank you Bruce for all the time you spent with him. He really enjoyed learning from you. We will be back again when I get back out to visit my grandson.

My 9 year old son was so excited to get some Archery training. It was only his second time shooting a bow and the training and guidance taught was incredible. After 45 minutes he asked if he could stay all night. Looking forward to 3 more lessons scheduled for December. I would recommend Wilderness Archery for any youth looking to trying out another sport!

Our 9 year old's first Bullseye. It was his fourth time to the range this summer.

Bruce was there to provide some tips for my son to help his accuracy and it showed on a grouping of shots near the bullseye. This sport my son enjoys very much and the staff and owner have been super helpful!

Ashton M.

I had such an amazing experience. My experience was personalized and very encouraging. I had such a great time. I can wait to go back again with my kiddos for some formal instruction.

WHY WE WENT HERE: - Groupon date deal…read more THE LOOK (FROM THE OUTSIDE): - located at Denios Farmers Market but at the Vineyard Rd/Church St and Atkinson St entrance (park in the parking lot off Church St and Atkinson St; shorter walk over) THE LOOK (FROM THE INSIDE): - it's a farmers market so it's not a top notch facility; it gets the job done - there are 2 shooting areas separated by a partial wall - you shoot at bales of hay that have cloth or paper targets affixed to them CUSTOMER SERVICE: - provided minimal instruction, but it was fun having the range to ourselves until the end of our allotted time for the next group to come in

I took the Beginner Archery lesson yesterday and had a good overall experience. The initial…read moreinstruction covered the basics clearly and was easy to follow. Once we started shooting, the instructor would check in periodically with helpful tips, such as how long to hold the draw and adjusting my aim when my arrows were consistently landing high. I really enjoyed archery itself, although I wasn't especially impressed with the instructional aspect of the class. The guidance was helpful, but I would have appreciated more hands-on coaching throughout the lesson. My biggest criticism is that I think a beginner archery class should provide arm guards or, at the very least, strongly recommend them. As someone completely new to the sport, I didn't even know arm guards were standard equipment. As a result, my forearm ended up badly bruised and inflamed from the bowstring. After doing some research, I now understand how easily this can be prevented. I'll definitely make sure any future lessons or equipment rentals include an arm guard, but I think beginners should be informed about this before they start.

My husband and I went here for the first time and had a great time which so happened to be their 3D…read moreshoot which was so fun! They set up different fake animals including armadillo, boars, bears, wolves. For their normal operations, the guest fee is $5 which is very reasonable (you can feed the "FROG") Guests park down the hill but it's a short walk up. There's practice range where you can practice or tune your bow to different ranges from 30 to 100 yards. Memberships are $180 per person or family. If we lived closer, I would consider it but $5 per guest is great. For the 3D shoot, it's $10 per person, it's the 3rd Saturday of every month from 8AM to 12pm and so worth it! I appreciated that the range masters were welcoming and friendly. The trails are very well maintained. They do warn of rattlesnakes and I saw a rattlesnake skin on the trail so be careful. We'll definitely be back!

He explained everything very well, shared helpful tips, and truly went above and beyond to help me get started. Having such a positive experience with him made me really enjoy archery and feel excited to continue learning. And of course, his adorable dog Masha was an added bonus! She's always with him and is absolutely sweet! The range itself is beautiful, quiet, and peaceful. The volunteers do a fantastic job keeping everything maintained, and the targets are in great shape. I really like how the range is set up, with opportunities to shoot both uphill and downhill. There are also 3D targets I'm so glad I started my archery journey here! The range is volunteer based, so donations are a great way to support all the hard work that goes into maintaining it. I'll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend this range, especially if you're new to archery and looking for a place to learn!

The restroom is huge. The staff is always very nice. They greet you when you come in they greet you when you leave. The only problem I have is that I don't have a $10,000 credit card for this place. Or maybe that's a good thing They have so many lures to choose from I could get lost looking at them, but love that for me for fishing. I love that they have a variety of fishing poles and they also have cookware there. If you did not know that if you need to go camping this is a great place to go value wise. I would say great prices great material clothes wise. I have sweatshirts that I've had for over 3+ years and they've never got ruined in the washer and dryer and I got these ones on sale for like five to $10. I've been waiting for that sale again. I think I miss it. However, I must say hands-down they have the best quality clothes. They have a lot of options of stuff. If you know somebody that's having a baby. You're going to a baby shower you could come here and find some cool stuff for them and get out and get to see stuff you want to see as well.

The person on the phone was polite and articulate to answer what I needed. The person even remembered me when I came in the store. Very rare to get this type of service. I am assuming the bad reviews are people who were educated and felt horrified about their lack of knowledge. Gun culture is an educated culture, be prepared to learn or abide by the safety standards and rules that adhere to them. Inside the store was clean and spacious areas. The department I needed was the firearms section, which was at the far end of the shop. That being said they have a wide collection of what I say good ammo that you can rely on for self-defense. What I can also say is that they do not gouge you on prices. The prices are well within reason, and they are updated ammunition. By updated I mean that they have different casings for those who know that grains and bullet type matter. That being said, getting plinking ammunition is a good to go here. You can trust the brands they have in stock and the staff for the firearms department is knowledgeable and friendly. Keep in mind the long wait is due to either education, or the long lengthy checks to get said items. That being said, pay your taxes, pay your registration fees, do your due diligence and you're out and about easy. I may bring in my gun to get checked by their smith. But TBH American Made Baretta 9mm FS is the far superior choice than the mass produced m9 and Italian made one. I don't think I need a service on my weapon in quite some time. Do your research, some things made in America, is better and not well advertised. This goes for the ammunition as well. To the dude who helped me. Thank you, man. Thank you for your service as well.
