I have taken two previous archery classes through BOW Becoming an Outdoor Woman through the AZ Game & Fish Department that were fun and informative with far better equipment and excellent, caring instructors. Maybe my expectations for Timber Mesa were set by a higher bar than normal.
I purchased an Archery Class for 2 people (including equipment rental) through Groupon. Making the reservation was painless; but they said they were booked out about 6 weeks for lack of instructors working on a daily basis. When it came time for our class, I found it hard to believe they were booked up as there was no one waiting before us and no one waiting after us and no one using the facility at the time we were there. The gentleman at the front desk gave us our equipment (cheapest bows) and told us how to hold the bow and arrow and then said we were free to shoot for an hour or more--alone. When asked, he was happy to move our targets back farther. So, we did NOT get an awesome instructor. My guess is that he wasn't enthused about two older ladies wasting his time.
I am sure they are excellent at things other than satisfying Groupon purchasers.
