The MSP archery range is the best public range I've ever shot at. In fact, it's better than the…read moremajority of private ranges, too. Located along the Eastern side of Mile Square Park, along Euclid St, the range is a beautiful outdoor setting, with the entire length of the shooting lanes covered with a nice, big steel structure. There are 20+ lanes, starting with 10 yd bales on one end, going out to 70-80 yds on the other end, in 10 yd increments. There are also lanes with no bales for archers who want to bring their own targets, stands, etc. It is a popular spot for shooters, and is especially busy on the weekends, so be prepared that you may have to wait for a lane, or share a lane with your group. (And seriously, if you are going to a public range with a group of 4-5 people, do you EACH need your own lane? Be kind and share!) The bales are all foam, and do get replaced periodically as the middles get shot out. The range is generally not monitored by Park Rangers, so it is up to the shooters to self-manage the range most of the time. Also note that the Parks Service runs group lessons most Saturday mornings, and when the lessons are running the Parks staff will call out the range commands. When the range is busy, and when Parks is running group lessons, the range will be slow. If you are a fast shooter, bring enough arrows so you don't shoot your 6 then wait 5 - 10 minutes for the rest of the range to finish the round. (Conversely, don't shoot 20-30 arrows if the entire range is waiting on YOU to finish a round.) There is a paid parking lot ($5) inside the park, right next to the west end of the range. Entrance is on Euclid, almost to Warner Ave. Or, you can park along Euclid for free, and just walk in to the range (~200 yards walk through the park.) There are park restrooms behind the range if you need. The range itself is free to use. Overall a beautiful place to shoot your bow(s), well maintained, and vast majority of archers there are good, friendly types.

I highly recommend beginners to check their store and range out, as they are very knowledgeable with a super friendly staff.

They've been in business for 25 years and know what's what when it comes to the bow and arrow! Having not practiced this ancient sport for many years, my expectations were low coming in, but I was pleasantly surprised at how enjoyable it was. The rules were straightforward and shooting the bow was simple and fairly easy. The aiming part wasn't as easy... but I definitely improved by the end of the two hours! The team working there helped out with general instructions and pointers as well were all shooting. People started "getting it" about an hour in and balloons on the targets started popping pretty regularly. I finally got one right at the end! It was also pretty cool to see some of the more serious semi-pro type of archers there with their hardcore bows and compound bow setups. Overall this is a unique experience and worth a go if you're looking for a fun activity. They also have lessons and it's good for older kids. Five stars!

He showed potential, ended up getting his own compound bow, and we started asking around for a place where he could get proper instruction. Hi-Tech Archery came recommended, so we gave it a shot. We booked a 1-hour private lesson to get him started the right way. Within about 15 minutes, Jeremy had refined the sight-in on his bow, gave him some improvement tips, and my kid was already hitting yellow, including few bullseyes, at 20 (??) yards. Seems to be more than twice the distance from his first vacation experience, so yeah... awesome to watch. He came home happy and motivated to keep going, which is the best part. Big kudos to Jeremy for making the lesson productive, encouraging, and fun. We'll be booking another private lesson or two before getting him into the youth program. The facility itself is also nice and clean. They have two well-lit shooting ranges, plenty of seating, and the whole place feels organized and welcoming. Great first impression all around.

I was fortunate enough to book a class, since they still had openings. In order to book, you are required to pay $5 per person, and each person shooting needs a reservation. For the first time archer classes you need to arrive 15 minutes to sign in, get placed with a group/instructor, get the gear (they measure your arms, for the bow and arrows) the first-time archer classes are 8 AM and the returning is at 10 AM. Our instructor was very informative and helpful throughout the class. We also benefit from having a trainee in class where he was shadowing the main instructor. He was helpful with assisting and correcting our form. I was in a group with 9 other people. Each group was led by an instructor and taken to their own shooting area to learn the etiquette, rules, and how to shoot properly. He provides demonstrations and tips for correct shooting. After each demonstration, instructor invited the group to the line to practice shooting. Instructions were very clear and helpful. At the end, they provide balloons as targets to shoot. If you were able to pop the balloon, you get a cool pin. After the class was done, the instructor gave us a card to show proof that we've taken the first class, and we can sign up for the returning class if we decide to. Parking is limited. There is a small parking lot and it gets filled quickly. Come early or park on the street and walk down the hill.

There are also more of a long range targets if you are into that. The range is very well maintained, never too crowded, and the whole experience is just unmatched. I have been to several archery ranges and this is absolutely in its own league. Per City of Pasadena regulations you need to be certified to practice at the range, which entails about an hour long class and a small fee. Just keep in mind that it will take about a month to get your cert sent to you, so do it in advance. Absolutely worth it. Any interactions I have had with the staff and members of the club have been great. They also have classes, competitions, events, etc. Once a month (I believe 3rd Sunday of every month) they put up 3D targets, which are a lot of fun. Honestly, this place is a gem. P.S. It is also the oldest continuously operating field archery range in the world.

My son has improved dramatically, not only by gaining more technical skills, but also by gaining confidence in his abilities. South Bay Archery was also extremely generous and accommodating over the holidays, as our family was searching for a fun activity to do on New Year's eve with some friends. We booked a private party with Coach Paul and Coach Lani and everyone had a wonderful time! They made sure all 9 participants learned proper safety protocols, and taught our group how to shoot since some of us had no prior experience. They kept a good pace, explaining the challenges of shooting from further distances, and made things extra fun by creating a competition at the end, with the winner getting a prize! After that we relaxed and ate in the party room upstairs, which overlooked the shooting area. We all had a GREAT TIME! I encourage anyone looking for a fun group activity to check out South Bay Archery Lessons! I can't say enough about the kind, warm and engaging nature of both Coach Paul and Coach Lani, as well as the exceptional care and professionalism they put into all they do! We are looking forward to learning more archery skills and sharing fun times with South Bay Archery Lessons!
