I received a gift for a fun lesson in archery for Christmas and we had a great time, the lesson was an hour long and we spent about 40 minutes of it actually shooting arrows. The class size was 10 people ( I am not sure how many they can accommodate at once) and it was about right. We got a brief instruction about safety and how to use the equipment, and then we were off. They did not try to push any additional purchase on us, we were pretty much left alone to practice our new skills and have a great time. I don't know much about archery, but I walked out the experience a bit more knowledgeable and with a great memory.
