The instructor Anton and his colleagues are very patient and friendly, especially with our 7 year old and other kids we've seen there.

She assured me over the phone that by the end of our hour long experience my dad, my brother and I would hit the bullseye, and she delivered. She gave us pointers to help fix the issue I was personally having hurting my forearm/elbow and to become more accurate marksmen. She gave us just enough information to not be overwhelming but still gave us enough to work on to get better. It was extremely worth the price for the amount of skill increase and fun I experienced, and she reshaped my view of archery entirely, from really negative, to really positive. 10/10 would 100% would go again.

After chatting with my fellow members and archery lovers at IWLA ARL-FFX, and my bowhunting friends at work, they all swore by Hoffman. The latter was interesting, as my friend lives near Quantico, so the fact that he is willing to drive up to Hoffman's from that distance speaks volumes about the quality. I went up yesterday after work to swap my peep sight and buy new arrows. And I gotta say the entire experience was fantastic. If I couldn't see Hoffman's 100000 rating out of 5, I would!! The entire staff was super friendly and extremely knowledgeable. The store had plenty of the good stuff -- no junk archery crap. And if you have questions or come prepared with stuff in mind, they'll have a healthy discussion with you and ask you questions, so that 1. You get your money's worth and 2. It's catering to your archery goals. Businesses like that are rare to see, and they provide a personal flair that explains why so many peers are repeat customers. The pricing was fair, and I didn't feel like I got ripped off. I received great service from friendly, knowledgeable staff, and I will return for all my archery needs. Hoffman's got a new repeat customer!!

Hard to believe (I am not a trusting person), but Coaches Steve and Ruth at the Archery Program are just that - amazing professionals and good people. 18 weeks ago I was referred to Coach Steve Elkins by another coach, and yes I admit it, I was naturally suspicious and he intrinsically knew it. Coach Steve Elkins is a Level 3/4 teacher - he is Olympian standard. I didn't phase him in the least: Steve used his astounding heuristic empathy and assessment of my personality and moods. Coach Steve took me from an ornery, stressed-out grumbler to a calm, relaxed and perfectly trained archer. (I'm still a pushy perfectionist though). I can now hit gold target rings consistently, with perfect form, at 200 feet. Coach Steve is understanding, compassionate...and uncompromising in seeking perfect of form and function from his students. Coach Ruth is an Olympian, and head coaching of the program. She is sweet, quiet and has a hawk eye for students performance. I am leaving VA for professional reasons, but I'm carrying with me amazing gifts from a dedicated set of professionals who love what they do - and are just really good people to know. You will be missed.

Before giving the rave, I do want qualify my statement by saying this is only the second outdoor…read morerange I have ever visited. The first was the Adelphi Manor archery range in Maryland. Also, I would be considered a novice archer by most standards, though having spend 20+ in uniform, I have seen a few rifle ranges... Now with that said - wow! It costs $3 for two hours but there were proper targets posted so there was nothing else to buy. The most valuable thing for me was that the targets were staggered at 10 yard intervals. 10 yards all the way up to 60 yards. There were two other guys (only one shooting) while I was there and they were on one end so I could stagger my shooting first at the 20, then 30 and so forth. I made it all the way to 50 and stopped while the arrows were all accounted for. Something else I have never seen before, behind the firing line were racks to hang the bows. When you go down the range the bow can stay hanging (opposed to being left on the ground. Not far away, the PX and commissary were also superb so I expect to be back soon.

Granted, its not fun getting to Adelphi being located off the top side of 495. And the area is…read morekinda run down. But the range itself is actually designed pretty well near to perfection. For example, its actually well leveled throughout the entire field. I can't tell you how many poorly graded archery ranges I've been on, but the leveling done for Adelphi was done well! The targets are fine too, logically spaced and positioned right in line of one another. Cuts down on potentially awkward situations unlike at the Needwood archery range and you can shoot too at varying distances without much worry. There are some archery/coaching clubs that will frequent the range but they don't seem nearly as large, or popular like some of the ones over at Needwood and don't seem too interested in throwing any weight around. So no need to worry about territorial situations. Also, the large number of targets and their logical positioning and spacing helps out here as well as opposed to the mere four that Needwood has which are poorly placed and positioned. Only draw backs is where its located but also inconsistent maintenance. For instance, I was there recently and the grass was very high. Started putting suntan lotion on and noticed a tick. Had to go home early in lieu of and wash up. Related, deer apparently frequent the range alot and leave droppings behind. But mostly, I've found the range very accessible and rarely ever bothered by anyone here. I had some great memories here in 2019 and hope for maybe a few more.

My group of seven purchased $174 worth of tickets for DodgeBow, and the experience raised a number…read moreof concerns. Before the event, I never received a confirmation email. I called multiple times, but the Owner's voicemail box was full. I sent a text message and an email and never received a response. When we arrived, the building was locked. At that point, we weren't even sure if our activity was happening. Then a separate group arrived and we were all standing around just waiting and perplexed. A woman from that group said she also never received a confirmation email and had been unable to reach anyone. So this wasn't an isolated issue. A little after 1:00 PM (when our activity was supposed to start) two employees arrived. At first they had a hard time accessing the building and had to go through an alternative route to let us in, so that killed more time. The employees explained that the owners were on vacation and all they knew is that they had had instructiins to be there at 1:00 PM. We eventually got started, but several things bothered me. The overall operation seemed disorganized. During check in, the topic of waivers came up and none of our groups had completed waiver forms before playing. I was also surprised by the lack of a beginner safety orientation. The website states that players receive a 10 minute orientation session. We were first time players. When we arrived, safety goggles and small black arm guards were sitting on a table, but they were not handed out or explained to us. As beginners, we had no idea what "those little straps" (arm bands) were for or that they protected against bowstring injuries or that goggles were [required] throughout play. Instead, we only received rules on how the game is played. Another concern was the protective equipment itself. The website shows players wearing full face protective masks and states that protective face masks are provided. However, there are were only goggles provided. During the event, my husband was struck in the eye area by an arrow after removing his goggles because they repeatedly fogged up and made it difficult to see. His eye was sore afterward and bright light is still bothering him. We hope there are no lasting effects. My daughter also suffered a significant abrasion on her arm from the bow. When we asked for ice, the employee told us there wasn't any available and ended up providing frozen popsicles instead. I have no clue why ice wasn't available for situations like these. There were not enough arrows available at times, so players had to wait for arrows to be returned before they could continue playing. The equipment did not appear to be well maintained either. Many of the arrows were missing fins, and some had only one fin left. The playing area was small, and there didn't seem to be enough barriers for the number of players. The space was also very warm, with only one industrial fan running. There was no water cooler or bottled water available for purchase. Finally, disinfectant wipes were sitting on the equipment table, and I guess people are responsible for cleaning their own goggles before use. When I wiped ours down, the wipes came away dirty, which made me question whether the equipment had been sanitized between groups. To be fair, the employees working that day were polite and did their best with what they had. They apologized profusely and even offered to let us play longer due to the delays. The young man was swift with addressing my daughter's abrasion. My frustration is with the ownership and overall management of the business. Between the lack of communication, unanswered calls and emails, poor safety procedures, lack of ice and general operational issues, this was not an experience I would pay for again.

Both kids and adults alike had a fun time playing. Some suggestions would be to make the masks better. They easily fogged up and were a bit uncomfortable at times to wear.
