    Been here a few times now for open lanes and equipment rentals. This time around I'll be going back to purchase my own bow. The staff here are extremely friendly and knowledgeable. I was nervous going in at first since it was my first time trying out Archery and I left feeling nice and relaxed. The instructors are helpful and patient and make sure you have a great time shooting. I'd definitely recommend and will be bringing friends here for the open lanes. I love going and meeting others who are beginning out in archery like myself. I've also met some more experienced shooters and everyone here is so friendly. Great little community. I'll update once I've purchased bows and arrows here, so far only been to the range and lessons

    Shooting lanes.

    Bruce who works the range is always very helpful. Lanes fill up on the weekends, reserve your lane on their website.

    Learning the form

    This was our sons first time trying archery and thanks to the two coaches it was a great first try!!! Although I'm terrible with names, I wanted to thank both coaches profusely! (I think the young man was named Bowden [how apropos!].) We were accepted and made to feel included in the lesson. We will definitely be back as my son LOVED it!

    After 1 hour at 20 yrds.

    Hey I'm a total beginner. Just bought a compound bow a week ago. Figured I should take a class to get some coaching from an experienced archer. Wow, in just an hour I felt way more comfortable with the bow, my anchor point, and stance/posture. My instructor helped hone in my sight distance and with his helpful tips we began to narrow my arrow grouping. I'm excited about my progress and what I'm sure will be a lifelong hobbie. I'll be practicing for a while and then looking forward to another class. My instructor, John, I believe, was great. I would recommend him and Wilderness. I've had nothing good experiences with the staff and instructors.

    I took my grandson here for our first time shooting a bow. Bruce was the Range Master and he instructed my grandson. Bruce did a great job of explaining. My grandson had a wonderful time and wants to go back and do it again. He really wants to shoot more in the bullseye. Thank you Bruce for all the time you spent with him. He really enjoyed learning from you. We will be back again when I get back out to visit my grandson.

    Our 9 year old's first Bullseye. It was his fourth time to the range this summer.

    Bruce was there to provide some tips for my son to help his accuracy and it showed on a grouping of shots near the bullseye. This sport my son enjoys very much and the staff and owner have been super helpful!

    My 9 year old son was so excited to get some Archery training. It was only his second time shooting a bow and the training and guidance taught was incredible. After 45 minutes he asked if he could stay all night. Looking forward to 3 more lessons scheduled for December. I would recommend Wilderness Archery for any youth looking to trying out another sport!

    I had such an amazing experience. My experience was personalized and very encouraging. I had such a great time. I can wait to go back again with my kiddos for some formal instruction.

    Bruce was awesome! Friendly and helpful, A++

    WHY WE WENT HERE: - Groupon date deal…read more THE LOOK (FROM THE OUTSIDE): - located at Denios Farmers Market but at the Vineyard Rd/Church St and Atkinson St entrance (park in the parking lot off Church St and Atkinson St; shorter walk over) THE LOOK (FROM THE INSIDE): - it's a farmers market so it's not a top notch facility; it gets the job done - there are 2 shooting areas separated by a partial wall - you shoot at bales of hay that have cloth or paper targets affixed to them CUSTOMER SERVICE: - provided minimal instruction, but it was fun having the range to ourselves until the end of our allotted time for the next group to come in

    I took the Beginner Archery lesson yesterday and had a good overall experience. The initial…read moreinstruction covered the basics clearly and was easy to follow. Once we started shooting, the instructor would check in periodically with helpful tips, such as how long to hold the draw and adjusting my aim when my arrows were consistently landing high. I really enjoyed archery itself, although I wasn't especially impressed with the instructional aspect of the class. The guidance was helpful, but I would have appreciated more hands-on coaching throughout the lesson. My biggest criticism is that I think a beginner archery class should provide arm guards or, at the very least, strongly recommend them. As someone completely new to the sport, I didn't even know arm guards were standard equipment. As a result, my forearm ended up badly bruised and inflamed from the bowstring. After doing some research, I now understand how easily this can be prevented. I'll definitely make sure any future lessons or equipment rentals include an arm guard, but I think beginners should be informed about this before they start.

The only bone to pick (that I can tell) would be that if you need help on the floor, you sometimes have to comb the place for it. In their defense, the place is so large that they'd have to be significant overstaffed in order to feel like help was easily accessible. Pretty typical in the super large warehouse sized stores. They seem to have the things we need and when we need them. Customer service is friendly and helpful (thank you, Alex). Decent selection and prices seem competitive although I'll admit I haven't bothered to price match too much.

    Another terrible experience. You guys wanted me to give you another chance, and the result was just…read moreawful I had cancelled the gun purchase, but the ammo did not get cancelled. It was confirmed to be at the store. JUST LIKE THE GUN WAS. I receive multiple emails that the ammo was available to pick up. Went to the Rocklin store to pick up the ammo on 08/22/26. We signed in to the digital queue. But that didn't matter because they weren't even using it and just helping people that walked up to the counter. After FINALLY being asked to step up for assistance, I gave him my name, id, and order number. The gentleman then took my id to the back to "locate" the order. THAT TOOK SEVERAL MINUTES. He then walked around the store for a few minutes, with my ID in hand. Finally he came back to the counter and said that the order was not in the back and did I mind if he pulled the Ammo order off the shelf. And I was perplexed ?? Why are you asking. ?? Just pull the order. Why wasn't the order pulled and ready LIKE THE EMAILS STATED IT WAS!!! He then COULDN'T LOCATE IT ON THE SHELF AND I HAD TO SHOW HIM THE AMMO AND WHERE IT IS . We did not see it. And he then went in the back AGAIN WITH MY ID IN HIS HANDS. I asked him for my ID back since I didn't want him to set it down some where as he tried to "locate my order". After several more minutes, he told me that he could not find it. At that point, I asked to cancel the order and to speak to the manager. The associate said he already notified the manager, who was also aware of the gun/ inventory issues I had previously. I STILL DEMANDED TO SPEAK TO THE MANAGER. A few more minutes went by when he decided to come out. The manager was extremely rude and you can tell my his attitude and he disheveled clothing that he did not and does not care. I stated my complaints again and noted that they were the ones who did not cancel the order and accepted it. He then proceeded to say that THEY NEVER GET THIS AMMO TYPE IN HIS STORE. And I said someone in his store approved/accepted the order. He claimed that he had no way of checking who accepted the order. And I simply said that was no excuse and this whole situation was handled extremely poorly. He then said " Well what do you want me to do". Sir, I want you and your store to get your shit together, AND DO YOUR JOBS so I am not wasting my time with people who clearly do not care when there is an issue that they caused. Managers who act like this when the issues are caused by them, their stores, and their employees have clearly lost the plot. And to continue on with his rude behavior, after looking dead at my husband and speaking to him, he then cuts my husband off mid sentence to say "I was talking to her". Sir, you are looking at my husband, and talking, he was thinking that the conversation had been directed to him. He then asked WHAT I WANTED TO DO ABOUT THE ORDER. Not only were you aware of the issues with the gun inventory , you did not take the time to verify if the remaining items on the order were in stock at YOUR FUCKING LOCATION??? You have the audacity to ask what I want to do with an order of Ammo that you just said your store never gets. Like I'm supposed to leave this order open with you all having my money and me not having any ammo. I asked that the order be cancelled and my money refunded. I received and email today from Sportsman Warehouse that my order was cancelled because it was ABANDONED. How the fuck can I abandon an order for an item that was NEVER THERE AND HAD NO INTENTION ON BEING THERE. Basic customer service is all I was asking. Nothing free or discounted. I wanted the items that I paid for and was confirmed to have been there. What a fucking shit show.
