I was having some issues with my bow and decided to go out of my way to Willowcreek after having a few bad experiences with other local pro shops. I figured I would give them a try, and I'm extremely glad I did. From the moment I walked in, the customer service and treatment were amazing. Ms. Tina was the first person to greet me at the door, and from that very first interaction, I immediately felt welcomed. She honestly gave me back some faith in local archery pro shops. She took the time to look over my bow, replaced a missing screw on the cam, had me take a few test shots, readjusted my draw length, and even gave me pointers on my shooting form. What stood out the most was that she never once made me feel like I was being rushed or that I was bothering her. She was genuinely there to help someone who is still a complete beginner to archery. She also showed me around the shop, offered to let me demo some bows, and I even stayed for a while to shoot at their indoor range before heading home. Not once did she ask me to pay for the help she provided. That kind of customer service is becoming harder to find. Willowcreek made me feel like they actually cared about helping me enjoy and learn the sport, not just making a sale. They definitely earned my business, and I'll be coming back here for all of my archery needs! read more

Bret, the owner, is absolutely amazing. I went with my friend a couple of weeks ago while he was getting his bow adjusted, and Bret took the time to help me too. He asked which eye was dominant, and I assumed it would be my right since I'm right-handed but it turned out to be my left! I had never held a bow before, and he got me set up with a left-handed bow to try. I loved it. He was patient, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience so fun and welcoming. I can't wait to get my own bow and come back to use the indoor range. I also found the cutest shirt while I was there. The shop itself is really neat, and I loved walking around seeing all the taxidermy from his hunts. Highly recommend checking this place out! read more

Man this place is awesome! Huge shout out to the owner Brent. I went in with my boyfriend while he got in some practice rounds. Brent offered me a free beginner training session. The knowledge and friendliness he has is top tier. Seriously, if you are hesitant in any way, don't be. They'll take good care of you. I can't wait to go back! Soon I'll need to change my name to Tiger Lily read more

willow Creek Archery is amazing and very helpful brought in my bow for a re-string and they busted it out. The team there is super nice and knowledgeable highly recommend this. read more

AWESOME! Funny we were driving down the freeway and saw a Willow Creek Archery sticker on a truck and looked it up. We attended the beginner class and enjoyed it! All the staff are super friendly and helpful! Great equipment for beginners to use, instruction, and use of targets. Did get pretty full for the Friday afternoon class so be sure to arrive early. Plenty of parking, good AC, and bathrooms. Tons of selection in the shop and look forward to checking that out once our kids get more routine with lessons. Overall a very cool experience for you and your kids and the bonus points are for the very friendly staff and safe environment. The lessons and products are at a great price! read more

Worth driving from LA. Good selection, everything I ever needed they had in stock with great expert installation. Surprisingly perfect set up when getting new sights installed. Friendly patient staff. read more

I can't say enough good about Willow Creek Archery . I just bought a new bow from them and the service and assistance is outstanding . Even if you're a ways away , make the drive , you won't be disappointed ! read more

Had a bad experience with a manager here after having nothing but good experiences. He seemed to be on a power trip and was driving customers away that would have happily paid for lessons. It's not as though him or the staff were slammed at the time. He also seemed to enjoy talking down on bow fishing. Asking if I could hit the target with a fishing bow. It's unfortunate that someone like this is in a management position where they can feed their inflated ego. I won't be returning until this person released from their position or reprimanded for their actions. read more

Solid professional shop with great staff who go above and beyond to make sure things are working as they should before you go out the door. Shout out to Casey for making sure my bow was paper tuned just right and really appreciate the owner working with me on a peep sight/verifier that cleared up my pins/sight picture in low light. Many thanks for the help getting my Elite bow working great. read more

This place was amazing! I walked in with 3 bows and had no clue what to do about the stringing process. They helped me right away and Kacey and his boss helped so much with knowing what size and strength for them! Super happy I was inspired to buy my 8 year old son a bow of his own to take to Ren fare tmrw! Super excited!!! Thank you guys soooo much!! With purchase I got range time! That was such an amazing surprise gift to get too! I love this place read more

I attended one of their Wednesday night open shooting classes. I was really excited for my first archery experience and the actual shooting part was fun. I feel like the staff there really knows a lot about archery and tries to help as much as they can. However, I feel like every round, I was told to shoot a different way by the two different instructors and it kept throwing off my grouping. Totally fine, because this was an experience and I was just trying something new. I knocked my Yelp rating down for a few different reasons: 1) class started 15 minutes late and I had arrived 15 minutes early so I was waiting for 30 minutes to start the session. On top of that, they ended the class earlier than an hour as the class is advertised. My class had about 45 minutes of shooting. 2) they advertise $25 for these classes. I called ahead and the lady on the phone repeated a few times that the classes are only $25. So it was extremely misleading that when I got there, they said classes were $25 CASH or $30 by card. So take cash if you don't want to pay an extra $5. 3) one of the instructors kept getting way too close for comfort and grabbed my clothes to drag my attention his way as if I was a child. I get that he was doing this to coach me through how to do archery as, again, it was my first time with a bow and arrow; however, he just kept grabbing my arms and hands and clothes... Each time he got too close, I would take a few steps back and he would close the distance to about a foot or less and I couldn't breathe because he was talking and all I could smell was his breath. I know this may sound harsh, but this was extremely uncomfortable for me. A few times I put my hand up as I made space between us to signal to him that I needed space. But as I stepped back, he would close the distance Everyone else seemed to very much enjoy the class and I feel like if I had gone with a group where someone I know would've stepped up for me when they noticed I was uncomfortable, I would've enjoyed the experience way more. Again, I still enjoyed the actual archery shooting part. If I didn't have to wait so long and pay extra for a class that was only about 45 minutes and if I was given enough physical space or at least told ahead of time that they would be hands on instead of just grabbing me at any time and dragging me in all different directions, I would've given this 5 stars. read more

I'm pretty much the gangbanger of archery. Well, when I worked at a police impound in Watts, one aimed and fired his gun at ME. My boss joked, "Don't worry; gangbangers never hit their targets". That said, I managed to hit mostly: above my target, below and beside it, and other peoples' targets. Granted, it was an archery class and I wasn't expected to be any good. I learned a lot of information regarding techniques in the hour I was there, as well as of my own deficiencies. I received a lot of help trying to correct them, which I truly appreciated. I currently shoot with more enthusiasm than skill. The only thing I'm consistent at is how inconsistent my aiming is! I plan on returning and trying left-handed (keeping my bad shoulder up without discomfort was just not possible!). Overall, a fun experience and I look forward to researching and learning this activity as I am looking for a new hobby. Pros: - lots of parking - inexpensive classes - a cute shop - group and individual activities Cons: - stuffy room - lanes spaced very close together, felt cramped - classes are only Wednesday evenings, and they fill up FAST read more

Great archery shop has pretty much everything and if they don't have it, they'll get it for you fast. Their staff is over the top and making sure you feel comfortable with your purchase before you make it no high-pressure sales and if you have kids, it's a great place to start teaching. Tina is an amazing coach. Highly recommend this place. I now purchased four bows from here. read more

Absolutely fantastic staff!!! I walked in knowing nearly nothing. Casey was very knowledgeable and took two and a half hours to show me multiple bows and explained the difference and feels of each one. Never once pushing a certain brand or price. He took time to explain to me how to shoot and get on target. I left there with everything I needed to get started and the basic knowledge how to shoot the bow I bought!!! read more

Great friendly place, instructions were easy to fallow. Came in with my wife and a few friends. I would recommend for sure. read more

The folks at Willow Creek Archery are awesome. They treat you like family. I took some lessons from Tina and she was fantastic! I would recommend anyone who wants to learn or get a refresher, you will be disappointed. They are a full retail and service facility and will fit your all your personal goals in the sport. Thanks to Willow Creek folks for all you do. Dan Cobb read more

A wonderful small business. My daughter wanted to get in to archery after trying it a few times a couple years ago. So happy to find WCA with it being only 15 Min from our hone. We went in to look at bows and Casey was extremely helpful abs thorough with getting my daughter fitted with the right one. No hard sales, no pushing for extras or trying to sell the most expensive items. So needless to say she left a happy camper. With all she needed. Happy to have a safe place to take her to especially during covid as they require masks and only rent a max of 3 lanes at a time to prevent you being on top of each other. The staff is very helpful. read more

Looking for an archery class and live in north county sd? This is your place! There aren't many options in north county, so coming from CARLSBAD or Encinitas, this is actually the closest place. Parking is easy in their lot. They have multiple class times. I went on a Wednesday at 6pm. They also have a 7:15 option. We were directed through the archery shop to the back where there's an indoor range. The instructor, Mark, was very kind, helpful, and patient! We were first timers, so he started with the basics and built on as the class progressed. This is a mixed level class. Everyone else owned their own bow and arrows and come often. We borrowed a bow from the shop. They provided arrows and targets too. It was an hour long class. Mark spent most of his time with us newbies. It was basically just target practice for the rest. People seemed to know each other and were friendly. Come with an open mind and can do attitude and you'll have some fun and learn something new! read more

This is the most comforting and knowledgeable archery shop I've been to. Not only has this shop help me build confidence in learning how to become an archery shooter, it's also helped me build new friendships and learn a lot more about they archery community. I just want to give a shout out to the store manager Casey for always hearing me out and giving me all of my options and make me feel confident and comfortable in my purchases. The customer service here is always outstanding as you are always greeted when coming in and are helped all the way through. Bret the owner is always a blast to chit chat with about new equipment and the most up to date bows, he is the master of knowledge when it comes to what the best of the best is. I admire that this shop holds events for everyone, they have days where kids learn 101 how to shoot, they have indoor leagues, and regular range time to practice target shooting. If you need a good pro shop Willow Creek is the place to go! read more

I am a 54 year old female who is picking up a new hobby with archery. I came in here after I got a compound bow for Christmas and to get some things for another traditional bow I already had. The people who run this shop are amazing and each of the men I had interactions with were perfect gentlemen. Not creeps. Not pervs. Not rude. Very willing to help, and also had a sense of humor about things. They are courteous, professional and know their stuff. The place itself is super spacious and they even offer lessons or target shooting at $25 an hour. I'd definitely recommend, as well as return there. for business or to shoot targets. read more

Great people, fun staff and very knowledgeable. They are willing to take the time you need and make sure you're leaving with the right equipment. Their service and the attention to detail was top notch. Thanks guys! read more

To this day one of the best shopping experiences I have had in person! I am heartbroken that they moved to a new location because it is further away from me. I think the website interface and phone number needs to be updated because I am having a hard time clicking on the links or getting returned call. read more

Really great people and the place has an awesome range. Just dropped off my sx80 for a tune and setup. Excited to spend more tome here.

Excellent service, very friendly, awesome selection of merchandise. Highly recommend to all archers.

I'd like to start off by saying I bought a bow from another shop and they did a piss poor job tuning it. So, I took my bow to Willow Creek. Bret basically had to take everything off and start from scratch. Not only did the previous shop setup my d loop and rest wrong but also stripped the screws for my quiver, didn't secure the sight down all the way and other embarrassing things. Long story short, Bret handled business. Ser everything up and first shot through paper was a perfect bullet hole. WILLOW CREEK ARCHERY IS THE ONLY SHOP YOU NEED TO GO TO!!! Thanks again Bret, you have a customer for life read more

We had a nice long break from shooting during the Pandemic, needless to say my rookie self was really rusty. Everyone there was so helpful and so patient with tips and tricks to get me back into the groove. They measured and fit me for arrows, helped adjust my boyfriends bow, and overall provided a great environment for our favorite weekend activity. read more

The shop is great they have a great selection of bows and accessories a shooting range in the back and very knowledgeable staff. I was in the market for a new compound hunting bow. Brett set me up to try six different models and then took the time to set up my new bow and dial it in until I was shooting bullet holes in paper. Over two hours from start to finish to make sure I had the right bow and that it was set up properly. Additionally he allowed me to chronograph the speed on my custom hunting arrows when do the whole process of paper tuning the bow and really went above and beyond anything I have experienced or expected at other archery shops. read more

I was recently introduced to archery and was at the Las Flores Archery range on base, a couple of gentlemen there including my friend were all talking about this place and specifically a worker named Kasey. I fell in love with the sport and decided the next day to come check this place out. I waited for a bit as it was a little busy and a gentleman came to assist. It turned out to be Kasey and I was so grateful! He assisted me with finding the perfect bow and arrows along with ensuring I have proper form. All around amazing customer service and great quality bows! I went to the archery range again and I can't wait to go back to Willow Creek to purchase more arrows! Thank you Kasey for your patience and teaching me, it is greatly appreciated. read more
