Hi-Tech Archery

I took a beginners class at Hi-​Tech Archery. For only $ 15 they introduced me to the sport and provided excellent safety and training. The staff is fantastic and friendly. If you are interested in archery this is the place to start. I am headed back next week for another class and to purchase my first bow.

We went on a Thursday and our instructor was Michael. He was great! He knew exactly what he was talking about and was very helpful on helping us make adjustments so we could have a fun, safe time. He was encouraging but very honest on how we could get better. It was also very inexpensive and I definitely plan to go back. As a beginner, it can be very intimidating, but Michael made it clear that with practice, anyone could do archery.

Great place and great staff… Before me and my girlfriend were going to take an archery class there i proceeded to shop around and thats when i was greeted by a man with a beard in his late 20’s? He was very helpful and i appreciated his service. When our class started our instructors were two younger lady’s one was blond and the other had black hair, they were excellent and we had allot of fun. Highly recommend this place. Ps i never planned on making this review, but after the service i received at orange county archery in mission viejo i had to send my respects to the bow shop that is a little out of the way for me but the only one that will deserve my business.

My son has been taking lessons and it was time to buy his own equipment. Rick and his crew got us all set up with the right equipment. Took the time to go over all the parts and make sure he was comfortable. After all outfitted we spent sometime testing it out on the indoor range. Got to work with Jonathan upstairs and he was great so friendly and kind. Great teacher. Highly recommend if you are interested in archery.

Had a new string put on my husbands PSE King Fisher recurve bow. After leaving it with the disrespectful liars at OC archery for 2 weeks when they said it would be 2 days, and being tired of the lies and getting ripped off and the run around we found this little place through the online Unilocal comments of their terribly rated store. And my husband is so happy they had his string in stock and put it on same day within 5 mins. He’s heavily into archery and the staff actually know what they’re talking about. Looks like we found our new place to get all things archery related. My husbands happy I’m happy. :)

The staff here is very knowledgable. They know exactly what they’re talking about and they’re very helpful. For a beginner they didn’t make me feel dumb because I didn’t know the basic archery info.

This review is for the classes alone since I don’t know anything about bow or arrows or archery. It was my first time and I was without a doubt a clumsy customer. On top of that I quickly lost heart as my shot become progressively worse, probably due to poor upper body strength and fatigued muscles making it harder to draw, aim and shoot with confidence.
If you are noodly like me expect weird muscles to ache the next day!
Overall it’s clean, staff is friendly and funny and they do help you during the lesson if you’re having trouble. I’m kind of teetering in my review because I honestly don’t have anything TERRIBLE to say. I just wasn’t completely blown away by the experience? Maybe it’s my beginner pouts talking, but in the end I didn’t have that much fun. I probably would’ve needed a little more help since my shot didn’t improve at all and I injured myself, haha!
Makes for a fun activity with friends, just don’t bring sore losers!

Signed up for a class through Groupon. I have to say, I’m really impressed with the Staff, instructors and the store. One of
The most interesting classes I’ve taken in awhile. It was really awesome to experience something new and gain new knowledge. Huge thank you for making us feel welcome!

After deciding to get back into archery after a decade-​and-​a-​half hiatus, I found Hi-​Tech Archery on Unilocal and drove straight over after browsing their website. I was greeted by a man named Joe as I walked in and explained to him that I used to compete in 3D pretty seriously and was looking for a complete new set-​up.
Joe spent, and this is no exaggeration –FOUR HOURS of his valuable time on a busy Saturday with a shop full of customers asking about me about my shooting preferences, setting up a half dozen bows for me to test shoot and explaining the advantages and disadvantages of EVERY single component of my new gear, and I walked out with a custom tailored rig that stacks arrows and feels like it’s an extension of my body. As if this incredible service wasn’t enough, he then later that same day spent three hours outfitting my girlfriend for her very first bow and then spent an hour giving her a private lesson at their topnotch indoor range. By the end of the hour Joe had her shooting with a confidence that impressed us both.
Service like this is rare, and Joe’s actions showed that not only does he clearly have a passion for what he does, but he also cares about every single customer that walks into his store (I later learned that he’s owned Hi-​Tech Archery for 25 years).
That morning I thought I was just going out to buy a new bow –but I ended up finding a world-​class archery shop, and being given world-​class service by a gem of a man.
Thanks again Joe and Hi-​Tech Archery. You and your shop BOTH are top notch and you’ve earned a customer for life!

First time trying out archery and I loved it. Sure some of the people seemed gruff at first but hey it’s a sports store after all. Once they were done assisting the previous customer they apologized for the wait, thanked me for my patience and took their time to answer all my questions. I would easily recommend this store and range to my friends and family.

Mike helped my boyfriend and I during our first class. He was very helpful and gave us instructions on how to properly hold our bow. We found Hi Tech archery on groupon a 1 hour shooting lesson for 2. Give them a try, they’re generally busy during the weekend, but on a weekday it was only us 2. Their last lesson is at 5pm on the weekdays.

Hi Tech archery is such a wonderful place! I went from taking a few lessons here to purchasing my own bow and arrows! Unfortunately the nocks on the arrows that I purchased (not from here) wouldn’t clip onto my string, so I took my bow and arrows here and they fixed it! Jeremy assisted me and he was very swift and efficient. He took my bowstring to the back, worked some archery magic, and came back. My arrows are now able to function with my bowstring and I love it! He had the courtesy to string my bow for me as well. Hi tech archery staff are so friendly and helpful! His service was also free of charge :) I’ll be coming back here soon hopefully. I’m such an archery noob however.
Update: I came here to purchase a finger tab and the woman who helped me (I didn’t get her name unfortunately) was very friendly and courteous. She was very willing to help and straightforward and showed me a selection of finger tabs they had. I purchased the one she recommended, which is the one she said they used in lessons (which I’m very familiar with) and I was pleased that it fit my rather small hands. I’m very satisfied with your customer service, Hi-​tech archery! :)

Reviews of this place are pretty split here on Unilocal.If you’ve only been to the classes here, the reviews are usually 5 stars (what can I say, archery is fun). However, if you go to the retail side, it’s usually 1 star. Knowing that, I came in with certain amount of trepidation — I need to shop for arrows. Now, arrow shopping is filled with variables such as draw length, Limb poundage, target type, distance shot, nock type, tip weight, vane style/​size, personal preference, brand loyalty, etc. You can talk for hours before you can make an educated decision, and for a shop that’s famous for its… ahem… lets say indifferent costumer service, things can certainly go wrong.
So I got here as soon as they opened, as to not deal with tired and cranky employees in the afternoon, and asked for help with arrow selection right the way. To my surprise, and contrary to some reviews, the sales was pretty knowledgeable and helpful. True, his answers were mostly monosyllabic, and I don’t think he cracked a smile even once. But aside from looking at the draw length chart wrong once, he helped me out selecting the right arrows in my price range, cut them, and put on tips all in the span of 10 minutes. Granted it was some ready made carbon arrows for beginners (carbon impact super club ³⁰⁄₄₀), the efficiency is still decent.
The shop itself is not huge, but they do have a ton of inventory. Price wise, they are a little bit on the high side when compared to online stores, but you don’t need to pay shipping here, so really it’s a wash. Parking isn’t huge but unless you run into a class it should be enough.
TL;DR version of this review is: Don’t expect warm, friendly service, know what you want, Hi-​Tech Archery probably has it.

First time taking an archery lesson and it was a lot of fun! I purchased a Groupon for 2 for a 1 hr lesson. We watched a 5 min safety video and got right into practice. It was a pretty fun class, but it went very smoothly with 2 instructors. We learned how to shoot, adjust our sights and the basics of archery. We even hit the center of the target a number of times.
The only thing I’d say is that some of the equipment is worn and the bow I had didn’t allow for direct line of sight (when everything else was technically correct). Maybe they didn’t think it was worth it to switch the bow for such a short class that was so full. Anyway, lots of fun, we definitely improved by the end of the lesson.

My wife has been dying to try her hand at archery. Bookmarked this from Unilocal.today we had an hour class with instructor. Wasn’t exactly my thing, but I have to confess, it was soooo much fun. And way harder than it looks. I love my trap shooting and that will stay my main baby, but this will be included as fun. I think the wifey has deeper intentions. The instructor was amazing and nice. Awesome tips to help to enjoy yourself. This is a great idea for fun, date night and they even host parties at their facilities. very professional and has everything you will ever need to get started and if you desire to take up the sport seriously.

They were so nice! I got a groupon to go here and it was a steal. I went with another person for the 6pm class and we had a blast. The instructors were casual and funny, they kept giving us pointers to shoot better during the whole lesson. It was very safe and fun. I wore a skirt and flip flops and it was not a problem
I would definitely go back!

Good place for a basic lesson — I took my boyfriend here for his birthday because he had always wanted to try out archery, especially after watching Arrow.
I called in and requested a private class with an instructor (they also offer group classes as well for slightly cheaper). It was easy enough and costed somewhere around the vicinity of $ 60 for one hour for the two of us to be in a class together.
The building itself is a little outdated and in an industrial part of town. Inside is HUGE — the second floor is an area where you can set up birthday parties and events if you want and the first floor has all their inventory.
We had a class with Buddy who was friendly, funny, and helpful. The equipment he had us use felt a little outdated but it was a good solid foundation hour where we were able to play and learn.
Overall if you’re an advanced archer, I’m not quite sure if this place is top notch but for a basic lesson and for what it is, this place is a lot of fun.

I wanted to get into archery after visiting the range a few times. A friend who did some serious competitive archery a few years ago recommended I to go to Hi Tech Archery in Fullerton. It was a drive from where I live in Acton, but boy was it worth it!
I’ve seen some small shops here and there, but this place dwarfs all of them in sheer amount of selection. I was on a budget and am a bit of a minimalist when it comes to archery so I went with a 68 inch traditional longbow. Sue Anne, Buddy, and the rest of the staff were so down to earth, polite, and patient. They made sure my bow was set up properly, taught me how to string it up and take it down. They also made sure I had the right arrows and equipment to get started. They also have a nice range inside where I tested out my equipment.
I left there feeling very satisfied with my purchase and would recommend it to anybody. If you are going to get started in archery and you are in the SoCal area, give these guys a shot! :)

Very knowledgable and helpful.
I had two other places set my bow up completely wrong. Had a bow tuning here and they nailed t!
This is my goto for service.

This place hits the mark! Haha, ah sorry. Okay, seriously I had a really good time and learned a lot. This had to be the best Groupon voucher I have purchased yet. Took my brother, who also loved it and bonded as we played with dangerous weapons. The instructors were very patient and informative. $ 25 for an hour of instruction for two, that’s a freaking deal. We’re going to do it again when we have a chance. The place is a little hidden, so keep your eyes peeled when you see it and it’s at the back of the shop upstairs making it feel kind of secretative but everyone was helpful so don’t worry if you feel out of place, they will ease you into it.
