This place is great! I have always wanted to learn how to shoot a bow and arrow, so when friends…read moreinvited me to go with them to the Introductory Class, I happily went to the TAS webpage and signed up for it. The Intro Classes are offered every Saturday, and you must take one before you are allowed to take even the beginning archery classes here. The area the school is located in is a little bit sketchy, but don't let that deter you. In the Intro Class, the owner Bryce does a brief overview of different bows, and rules, and gear, and then you actually get to shoot. After taking the intro, you have the option of signing up for beginner classes (or you can test 'up' if you are experienced already). They offer classes 4 times a week, and it's either $25/class or $80 for the whole month with unlimited classes. That is definitely the way to go, because you will need to/ want to practice, practice, practice! The building this is in also doubles as a martial arts dojo, so no shoes are allowed on the mat. It gets very, very warm inside, with only fans to keep it cool, so dress accordingly. You shoot at targets about 10 ft away. TAS provides all the gear you need: bow, arrows, arm guard, finger tab, and targets. They even have bows for lefties like me! During class, the two instructors walk up and down the line behind the shooters giving tips and comments to improve one's form and shooting skills. They also have an arrangement with The Archery Shop on N. Florida Ave., so some of the classes are held there. It's fun to switch things up and shoot at this location, because this range is about 20 ft long. I have enjoyed myself immensely taking these classes, and highly recommend this school if you have an interest in archery.

TL;DR Managment/ownership treats customers and employees terribly, would not spend money here…read more Repeat bad experiences, I'd rather buy online than go back in this store. As an avid adventurer of the western US, I tend to visit outdoor stores wherever I travel to see what their idea of adventure is there and take the chance to upgrade gear that's frustrating to use or worn out over time. I've visited Bill Jackson's on two separate occasions now, heading in each time with about $500 worth of gear in mind to shop for. The first time I came, I got great help from multiple associates and planned to purchase gear off of their advise, but witnessed a confrontation between management and an associate that I recall as mild but disruptive enough it made me leave the store without buying anything. I didn't come back for about 8 months. Now I'm back in town for a few weeks of work before heading on a 2,700 mile bikepacking journey and really needed to grab a few items I hoped they'd have in stock. Being interesting in all outdoor activities, I started talking with an associate about the ski shop they were building the last time I was here. He keyed in that I had ski knowledge from my time tuning skis and custom fitting ski boots out west and started talking to me about part time work as they expected to need some extra hands with ski knowledge and took me to show me their ski selection. To get there, we had to walk through an area that he explained was sectioned off for an upcoming sale, so not yet available, but the necessary route to the still-open ski shop. He made a pretty good case for their ski shop and my wheels were turning about coming to help them out in the fall. On our way back through the sale area, I asked a question about the items we were walking past and the associate was very clear that those items were not available for sale until the official sale start date, but took the opportunity to educate me about them(I knew very little about diving equipment but am curious to learn). I was quickly convinced that a decent snorkeling kit was necessary equipment to enjoy the area and decided I'd get a setup. Before he got a chance to redirect me to where the currently available snorkeling gear was(I could tell it was coming, this area was also tiny compared to the sale area), an angry manager/owner appeared ready to tear apart the kind and helpful associate that had just taught me what I needed to know to spend an extra couple hundred dollars on top of the items I was already planning. I hurriedly left the area while she continued to holler at me and once I passed the threshold of that room I heard her resume berating the associate in anger. I walked myself over to the full price scuba stuff and found another helpful associate, but I could not bring myself to buy anything from this store after that experience. It was not unreasonable for her to ask us to move along since we had stopped in a place we were meant to pass through, but she was incredibly rude to the associate for going above and beyond to take care of an enthusiastic customer. I won't spend money here, that manager is the most unkind person I've encountered since I've been in Tampa. In a town of incredibly kind people, there is no place for that. Very sad, I really wanted to like this store. The associates seem to be knowledgeable and passionate about the outdoors, but they don't deserve to be treated that way.

Now, I have lived in Florida for over 10-years and I have run into some really bad customer…read moreservice...but this place takes the cake. I usually take bad reviews with a grain of salt...because everyone can have a bad day; however, this business seems to have one consistent complaint. Now the bow maintenance I needed was a very simple task of replacing my D-Loop. I came in already knowing the cost and was happily going to pay it. The guy acted...well to be blunt...nuts! I spent a total of $24 and change that day...and it will be the last dime they will ever see from me!! I'll be damed if I will spend any money in a shop where they treat people the way they treated me. I can't really even explain the hostility this guy displayed...it was so odd. He acted like I had not only interrupted his day...but that this menial task had somehow put him out. Now granted, it was only $12 or so to have him tie a new D-Loop...but WTF. I don't have time for any business that treats customers in this fashion. I'm assuming that Jerry's Indoor Archery is on it's last leg...and I'm not surprised as to the reason(s) why. If you plan on spending any substantial amount of money on archery equipment...I suggest you go somewhere they will appreciate your business. I'm just one little customer who apparently doesn't matter to them...and that's okay because they won't be seeing anymore of my money! As for me...my visit to your shop cost me $24 and change; however, it cost you a new customer, potential sales of new bows, arrows, targets, archery services for me and my wife. Lets not forget...potential sales to my friends, neighbors and family. As far as the D-Loop...well, it seems to work just fine. But then again...I could have had that done pretty much anywhere archery products are sold. The other item I bought was an ammo can...which I could have bought elsewhere. So when you see Jerry's...just keep on driving.
