If they tune my bow and I come back bc it's out of tune they charge me again!!! Recently my Mathews Title needed new limbs on a warranty claim bc of a weak limb. Very important!!!! The shop I'm loyal to, Bow N Arrow shop because they always does fantastic work on my bow. They NEVER overcharge me either!!! If I get a set of strings installed there they will NEVER charge me for tuneups on the life of that string set!!!!!! I brought my bow to my technician. My bow tech gave me a video and showed me why I 100% had a weak limb. The cam lean in My bottom cam was so bad it was rubbing the inside of the left side of my yoke on my new string set! Everyone at the shop was in agreement that this was warranty claim due to a weak limb issue. Since Bow n Arrow is not authorized Mathews dealers, I took my bow to Performance Archery for them to start the warranty claim. They asked if they could touch my bow (no mention of a charge and I'm in there for a warranty claim!) but I agree. They take my bow to the back and all four technicians there agree it is not a Cam lean issue or a weak limb issue and that it is ai ply a top hat issue. They proceeded to flip my top hats, so that there was only 1 mm of clearance from the Yoke cable from the Cam and did not fix the Cam lean at all. Matter of fact the problem was 100% still apparent and they let me leave and made me pay!!!! They looked me straight in my face and told me that Mathews is amazing with doing warranty claims! That all it takes is making the request and that it's easy, and then they did not do the warranty claim for me and gave me excuses and did not fix the problem. And charged me! The next day I took my bow back to my Bow technician at Bow N Arrow Shop showed them what they did and what they charged me for! They said it was completely I appropriate and they told me that the same problem was still an issue and that whatever they did didn't fix anything!! They also tone me I still can't shoot my bow. So then I was told by my Bow technician to call Bret at Willow Creek Archery.. Bret is Is amazing! I told him what I was going on, what I had been through and he immediately agreed that it was a week limb issue over the phone!!!!!! I sent him the video of my Bow on the bow draw board at the Bow N Arrow Shop showing the problem and diagnosing the weak limb issue and stating it was a warranty claim 100%. Unlike Performance Archery, He immediately got a hold of Mathews sent them my information and immediately was approved for a brand new set of limbs! Imagine that!!! The point is, Performance Archery does shawty rushed work on bows that they tune. They misdiagnosed and negate responsibility for obvious warranty claims. I could've derailed my cables and needed another new $200 string set. That's how bad it was. They charged me for a full set up fee and my bow is completely out of tune and I was still left with the same problem. Insult to injury! Bottom line: Go to Bow N Arrow Shop! 100%! The majority of the time if they don't need to charge you, they won't, and if they need to, their bench rates are better than Performance Archery and they do better work. Also, Bret at Willow Creek Archery Is amazing! And Bruce from Bow N Arrow Shop is fantastic and all of their Bow Techs there are phenomenal. Avoid Performance Archery at all costs!!!

As of 2018 07 24 (July 24), this archery range is definitely open!…read more Here's the skinny: 1. No paper targets are stocked! Bring your own, and thin metal stakes to affix them to the targets. 2. The distances aren't clearly marked 3. Even if you find a couple distance markers, they aren't accurate. The 30 yard target is 33.5 from the firing line, etc. 4. No bathroom. There's a port-a-potty. 5. No drinking water nearby. 6. The bow stands are falling apart / in terrible shape. There's maybe the ability to hold one or two bows (badly) out there. 7. You have to go for the office and buy an archery permit which is $15 for the year. 8. Hours are roughly sunrise to Sunset (6:00am to 8:00pm in summer months). See signage I photographed for exact info. 9. As in every range, you must bring all your own gear. 10. Please know what you're doing, or have someone in your group who does (and who takes responsibility for your group). 11. It gets hot as hell out there. There's a cover to give some shade but it's insane, regardless. There's no shade at the shooting line. 12. Point your GPS at the Lake Poway Recreation Area to get to the parking associated with this range. 13. Since you have to park your vehicle at the lake Poway recreation area, non-residents must pay $15 per visit. Residents park free. 14. They accept any kind of official mail addressed to your local Poway address to qualify for the free parking pass. So... if you're a non-Poway Resident, and it's your first time there: bring your gear, come during the day, and expect to pay about $30: $15 for parking and $15 for the one year archery permit. Oh and if you come visit during the summer, be prepared for intense sizzling brain-melting heat.

I can't wait to get my own bow and come back to use the indoor range. I also found the cutest shirt while I was there.

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!
