When we…read morearrived the Co-owner personally coached my kids along with 8 other beginners who were just there for open shooting time. He is kind, and patient, and most of all, was not being paid to coach. My kids had a blast and i had a hard time getting them to leave. Would definitely come back

I called a…read moreweek prior to ask some questions and was able to talk to the GM who was amazing at breaking down all the information I would need (how to order food, how the party table works, when we should be there ETC). The day off, we had Jen as our Ref and game master who trained us and ran our private game. We had a BLAST with her. The team played music that really amped us up, and I really loved that it wasn't JUST archery tag. She ran us through a bunch of different game styles and it kept it very fresh and fun. At the end we were able to have our pizza, a cake I brought in and some drinks. It was overall a really great time! Jen and the team really made our experience really fun. She was clear with the instructions, rules and really highlighted our achievements! My advice to anyone coming in, call ahead if you have any questions because the team is happy to answer your questions. This is also ONE heck of a workout, so just be dressed and ready to run! Overall we would come back for sure!

I went last night with a friend for my first time. We had a blast! They were so helpful showing us…read morethe right technique and how to stand and hold the bow.

Had never used Xspot in the past, but late summer needed a certified TenPoint repairer. They were…read morenothing shy of great. They completed the work on time, high quality and super helpful. I have since bought another crossbow and again, great. Help you navigate options, provide advice without influencing your decision.

Andover Sportsmen Club taught me most of what I know about guns and shooting. Three friends and I…read morespent approximately ten hours here one Sunday taking the NRA safety certification course required by MA for gun licensing, and somehow the instructors made it (and by "it" I don't mean just the hands-on shooting range stuff, because of course that part of it isn't dull) something other than dull. Also, when you arrive they cook you a great breakfast complete with coffee that will get you through the morning. For anyone interested in getting any sort of gun license, or in learning more about gun handling, safety, or recreational shooting, Andover Sportsmen Club is the way to go. Do make sure you don't need to refill your car with gas on your way out of North Andover late on a Sunday evening, however, or else you might find yourself at the mercy of your misguided GPS driving through a residential neighborhood, and then rescued by a British couple (bless their hearts) who drive in front of you to guide you back to civilization and, lo and behold, a gas station that, unlike many of the others you've driven by, happens to be open.

There is also a great skeet range as well. oh and i almost forgot about the 24 hour indoor range for all members. there is also an archery range and a 3d archery course that goes into the woods. great staff and the property is very well kept. if your are looking for a club to join and enjoy, i highly recommend Andover Sportsmen Club.

Best shop I've had the pleasure to work with!!!…read more I've been out of the archery scene for awhile due to life changes, injury, etc. Decided I wanted to dip back into things and needed the bow tuned along with some new arrows etc. I'm a target archer...not a hunter....and decidedly out of practice. It's a touch embarrissing to walk into a busy shop with so many capable archers and be so shaky at full draw. (My fundamentals are okay but I need some conditioning.) The new owner Jon (and, it must be said, his supporting staff) have simply been fantastic!!! Zero judgement!! Didn't make me feel small for not arriving with a camo painted 80lb hunting bow that I could hold at full draw for 10 minutes LOL (despite it being the start of hunting season when they're undoubtedly buried with work from that market segment.) His staff was welcoming & friendly to a person and he himself took a direct interest in my target gear, my target focused setup, and he spent more time than I should have expected talking setup, next steps, making recommendations, offering choices, and discussing with genuine interest, my goals and objectives on the indoor range. I'm a fan! If you are into archery, have thought about it, or just need something for your setup....these guys (and ladies) are the real deal matter what your focus might be! One encounters such good service so infrequently these days that I'm looking for more to "support my local sheriff! Gratitude to Jon and his staff!

Where do I start with this place? They have a good selection of components and sell high end gear,…read morebut the good stops there for me. I had them put new strings on my bow and when I showed up to pick it up, I waited over 15 minutes, and then they handed me back a bow that was un-tunable (I'm a knowledgeable shooter who knows how to tune). I guess I can thank them for pushing me over the edge to get my own bow press, which I promptly used to fix what they did. I've also had consistently poor interactions with staff who either think they know better when I ask for specific components or give snide remarks about what I'm trying to do. I've tried to give these guys my business, as they are my local shop, but I'm done. I don't show up to a storefront to be hassled, and I don't have time to argue for the component I want. It is absurd. I try hard not to write negative reviews, but this problem has persisted. Owners take note, your customer-facing staff are losing you business.

We've been to a lot of archery shops in the Greater Boston Area with attitude, condescension, and tribalism. Trader Jan's is a breath of fresh air. As a woman, my girlfriend found it a great place to be. As a crossbow archer, we found it very welcoming. And, as beginners, we were encouraged and helped on a number of occasions. Many thanks!

I brought two of my boys in today to set them up with a beginner's archery kit. Rather than try to…read moreupsell me, the friendly salesperson took me to a beginner's rig in my older son's size, set it up, and gave both my boys a short lesson to refresh what they'd learned at Cub Scout camp. This doesn't sound like much, but I'm so accustomed to shops trying to upsell me that it was just nice to go in, get what I needed, have it set up properly, and head on my way with a smile. I spoke with three different members of the staff during my visit, and felt like I'd made three new friends. If archery remains a diversion for a pleasant afternoon, I'm confident I have everything I need. If my boys get into the sport and decide to get serious about, I know where I'm going to take the next step.

We found this on Groupon and got a really good deal. The trainer in there was great! She made it…read morereally easy to follow and gave us great instructions for safety and for tips.

It's clean and has so many challenge rooms to choose from with different activity levels, too! I wish more cities had places like this, because playing is so important, especially for families to do together. We had lots of fun with our youngest granddaughter who is 5! Will definitely return!!
