    Shenanigans during the lesson!
    Dora H.

    Woods Archery Range at the Crossbow Store is located down on Santa Anita, you will find it amongst a row of warehouses. Luckily their sign is quite large, so you can easily find your target! Parking right behind the facility, and plenty of street parking should you have trouble out back, which probably will never happen! The storekeeper was very friendly and greeted us and welcomed us to his store with much enthusiasm! He got us checked in, and we got right to it. It's a small group lesson, so it feels very intimate, my instructor Don showed up a bit later to the party, but he made quite the entrance. As he bursts through the doors and walked up to us, he showed us the way of the bow. After a few practice shots, he provides you with tips so that you can compensate for different factors based on your form and stance. As long as you are shooting the exact same way, you will eventually be a bullseye machine! But, Don also says that if you hit the red or yellow part of the target, it means that "you're gonna eat!". I think it's a great venue for beginners especially since the lessons are so small. You have more time with the instructors, and the controlled environment allows you to build a solid foundation to practice in. Everyone was great, and I would probably come back to try and shoot a compound bow sometime in the future. Had a great time, and found that the hour went by very fast! Their store seems well furnished with both types of bows, and everyone knows the equipment very well. If you have any questions, I believe that this is a proper place to purchase your first bow! (Oh! And if you are attending the lesson, do not forget to eat before you come, apparently it can effect your overall performance in the long run!)

    First archery lesson with instructor Laurence

    This place is awesome!! I called the morning of to see if they could get me and my friend in for an appointment that night. Ed was so kind to squeeze us in that day even though there was still another group. Upon arriving, Ed greeted us and made us feel very comfortable seeing it was our first archery lesson. We were paired up with instructor Laurence, who also assists the USA Olympic coach. He was super nice and patient and taught us proper technique. He also went into thorough explanation of why we hold the bow and nock the arrow specific ways. Laurence was a great instructor who is very technical and made our archery lesson super fun! I'll definitely be going back. Can't wait for their new location to open!

    First off, the staff here are super chill and friendly!! I called and the person I spoke to was extremely welcoming! Scheduling an appointment was not hard. Usually at the end of the summer, there are more openings, so it was really easy. I was able to make an appointment for the next day after work from 6-7. Yes, they open until 8 I believe, so you could definitely try to make it after that work schedule and shoot some arrows! I bought a Groupon for two people ($25) for a one-hour lesson. I also realized they also have the deal on their website, so I didn't exactly have to get it on Groupon. It doesn't really matter, but definitely check out both since the deals probably will change! This is my second time doing archery and my first experience was somewhere else and it was meh. Here at The Crossbow Store, the staff really take care of you! The instructor helps you with the gear in the beginning. After you've settled, they help you with your form. We had Grace as our instructor. She's great and resourceful (she said she's been doing archery for over 10 years) when it came to teaching us. Parking is also another great factor here. There's a parking lot, where you sort of enter at the side of the building. There's also parking on the street! I will definitely be back and you should definitely check them out!

    Staff is friendly as ever. Range fee has gone up to $20 per day or $50 per month. They finally have a target on wheels so that it can be brought closer to the firing line. And bring your own bow stand. Would be nice if they had more tables to setup and a tool station for adjustments.

    It was our first time here since our little ones (12 yrs old) wanted to try archery for the longest time and we found this place through Goupons. We are glad that we did. It was a great experience and instructor Don was very patient & helpful. He answered all our questions & he made the lesson very fun. And yes, we are definitely coming back!! And our 12 yrs old wanted to get his own bows & arrows already :8)

    Best archery store closest to DTLA. Very helpful stuff members. They have a reasonable collection of everything, and some of them are not listed on the website, so make sure you ask! And you won't be disappointed.

    Came here for a birthday party for a group of 10 of us and we had Ed and Don helping us shoot (some of us for the first time). They were funny and patient with us and gave us all individual tips on how to shoot at our best. There was a table to put the pizza we ordered so it was perfect for a larger group. We will definitely be back!

    Hands down a fun time! It was my first archery experience and Ed was a remarkable instructor. He was very accommodating, patient and funny too! This is a great destination for groups, couples or just on your own.

    Kayceeann R.

    Ed was very friendly and helpful. First he did a quick tour around the place. then he got us hand guards and explained everything very carefully. He took his time to show my husband and I Individually how to use the bow. He is a great teacher. Luckily I didn't hit anything outside of the target. It takes a few rounds before getting use to it. He even let us shoot from the 20 yard range towards the end of our session.

    Second time coming for a lesson with my group of friends. Don's an awesome instructor. If you're a beginner they're very patient. He and Ruben will give you pointers when you need it. Everyone here is very friendly, chill, and easy to talk to. They will help you with any questions you have. Highly recommended to take a lesson!

    The staff is very unprofessional. I made a mistake on the Range it was made to feel like a villain there. Never felt comfortable going back.

    Are we able to shoot crossbows here?

    The only crossbow shooting that is allowed is for a safety course that we include with the purchase of any crossbow.

    I think in these times we forget that there are still honest people out there, and it is refreshing…read moreand a shot in the arm when you find someone who is honest. I need to relay an experience I had at Azusa Mega Pawn today. I went in to have a price on a gold bracelet I had for a number of years, wanted to see what it was worth, considering selling it. The person who helped me was very friendly and professional and gave me a price, but that's not why I'm leaving this review... On the way out, I inadvertently dropped a ring I had for several years, it must've fallen out of my pocket when I was having the bracelet appraised and I never noticed it. Later, I was looking for it, and it was gone, not in my pocket anymore, so with literally no expectations of success, I called Azusa Pawn and asked if anyone had found a ring. I described it, and guess what...She said yes, a manager found it on the floor and turned it in! Say What! An honest person, literally giving me shot in the arm of hope for humanity. It would've been so easy to say, "We didn't find anything," but the person answering the phone didn't say that; she said it's here, and I can pick it up. Again, I had never been in there before, but I will be back. My experience was that there are good people in this world, and one of them works at Azusa Mega Pawn, good people. I will be back. They've earned my trust, and I think they will treat you fairly. Thank you, Mark Breves

    Very attentive and knowledgeable staff. Great customer…read moreservice ! The stock of fishing gear is expansive.

    This review is directed at ownership and management…read more I frequent Turner's for fishing gear and have consistently had positive experiences with the older gentleman in that department. He's knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and genuinely helpful. He represents what a specialty retailer should be. I've spent 1000's on firearms and ammunition over the years. Unfortunately, this visit was the opposite. I came in looking for M&P Shield 9mm magazines. Only one in stock -- not a problem. I figured I'd grab some ammo while I was there. As I stood in front of the ammo section trying to read the boxes, two employees directly in front of me made zero effort to acknowledge me. Not a "Can I help you?" Not even eye contact. Instead, they were occupied repeatedly racking the slide on a pistol and discussing how it was "blemished." The way it was being handled made it feel less like product inspection and more like someone building a case for why it should be discounted. I can't say for certain that the larger employee was intentionally trying to create or exaggerate wear to justify purchasing it himself -- but if that wasn't the case, the optics were spectacularly poor. What really stood out was the conversation. They were openly speaking negatively about other customers -- people who sounded like regulars -- directly in front of me. It takes a certain level of tone-deaf confidence to mock customers while another one is standing three feet away. I finally asked if they might have additional magazines in the back. The larger employee ignored me initially. When he did respond, it was with, "Are you talking to me? I'm doing paperwork," as though customer interaction was an unreasonable interruption. This was moments after he demonstrated that he was fully capable of multitasking slide manipulation and social commentary. I briefly considered asking for a manager, but decided it wasn't worth engaging further. If basic awareness and professionalism are optional on the floor, that's a leadership issue, not just an employee one. I left disappointed -- not because inventory was limited, but because the standard of service was. Specialty stores survive on expertise and professionalism. When that slips, you're just a warehouse with attitude. I hope management takes this seriously. There are strong employees at this location. Unfortunately, consistency appears to be selective.
