Archery Fit Reviews Summary

Instructors

Pros:

• "Shout out to Kristina for being an amazing instructor."
• "Harun in particular has really helped me improve my accuracy on the 18m range."
• "All staff were really friendly and helpful and our instructor Harun was great!"
• "Special thanks to Harun for providing a safe and fun experience."
• "Visited on Sunday with my family and had a very informative 90 minute lesson by instructor William."
• "Christina was our instructor for the day. Super friendly, caring and kind."
• "Kate, our instructor, has a lot of experience and was a Russian national champion, so we were in good hands."

Cons:

• "The coach not only spent a significant portion of the lesson explaining, but they also repeated each theory multiple times unnecessarily."
• "In the beginning, we struggled with understanding the coach's accent."
• "We had expected more hands-on bow experience rather than an extensive theory session."
• "What a HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE from the Italian 'teacher' on Saturday! Unfortunately for us she was a cover that day."
• "I was EXTREMELY INSULTED by the PATRONISING 'teaching' and tone used throughout."

Facilities & Equipment

Pros:

• "The targets in independent shooters range are high quality and replaced regularly."
• "Really great facilities if you want to shoot indoors up to 18m."
• "All the equipment is provided, so no need to go buy expensive stuff to join in."
• "The indoor club has 2 ranges - 18m and 30m and offers introductory lessons, courses and also team sessions."
• "They have a wide variety of equipment available for you to try."
• "Spacious with plenty of room to relax away from the shooting line; completely different from the usual indoor clubs where you're shooting in cramped sports hall."
• "Equipment is provided if you don't have your own yet. Shooting area is always set up, so you just need to go to the club and enjoy shooting :)"

Cons:

• "While collecting my arrows I turned around to see a woman aiming a fully drawn bow at me... this highlights the need for a field officer monitoring the range at all times."
• "The trial lesson is unreasonably expensive."
• "Parking was a challenge even on a Sunday, and the overall ambiance didn't quite match a professional setting."
• "The only downside is the difficulty of parking nearby."

Atmosphere & Community

Pros:

• "All in all it was a great atmosphere for shooting and hanging out in between training sessions."
• "There is a friendly atmosphere and a warm welcome with the fellow Archery 'Knight' buddies."
• "Nice atmosphere, professional and friendly tutors, good location, variety of bows, comfortable and intuitive online booking system and much much more..."
• "Clean environment, great vibe from staff who are welcoming and very knowledgeable about Archery."
• "It's completely accessible and they really do accommodate and cater for wheelchair users."
• "A very excellent indoor range with a warm and comfortable atmosphere."
• "This experience was relaxed and fun. Very welcoming atmosphere and staff especially Harun and Lucy who were assigned to our group."

Cons:

• "I think it is not a good place to practice archery."
• "When I expressed my opinion on their Instagram, they completely avoided the question and ignored me. I am very disappointed with their attitude."
• "Unfortunately due to Illness(COVID) i couldn't complete the remainder of my 3 lessons which i had pre-booked, I made a request if I could rebook at a later date however they said due to the 48hour cancellation policy, they wouldn't be able to do anything."
