| - This is a nice archery shop. The shop area is nice; the selection isn't big, but they do carry name brand bows. The air conditioned indoor range is fairly nice and a good way to escape from the heat. The targets go out to 45 yards. Staff is pretty knowledgeable and helpful. The price is pretty good if you go 1-2 times a week - $300 for a year which amounts to around $6 per week. If you go once, its like $10, which is a little steep, but you're basically paying for shooting in the comfort of air conditioning.
However, there are two reasons why I give this place three stars:
1. Inconvenient hours. If you work during the day, you have limited opportunities to shoot. There is a 3-D shoot in Wednesday night, a JOAD practice on Thursday nights, and the range closes at 6 on Friday, so you basically have fours days per week to shoot if you get home late. There website also isn't very good at informing of these events. I was turned away from this place twice because 1) I didn't know about the Wednesday night 3-D shoot, and 2) a discrepancy between the hours posted on the website and what is posted on the front door.
2) The shoot area can get congested. They don't allow bowcases in the range, which is understandable because space is pretty congested. This means that if you shoot a recurve, you have to set up outside. Compunds are okay though. Also, they charge $1 for a target face.
Overall, a nice place to shoot, despite the shortcomings.
