Cupid’s Gate Archery

Shortly after my child began taking archery lessons here, the owner told me it was time to write a review. I felt coerced into writing a positive one, and I wish I could retract it. Our experience has not been a good one, and I do not recommend this business.

In response to Gin K’s poor review…
I don’t know who Gin K is but my personal experience with Tony Ng and Cupid’s Gate Archery as a whole, has been a very positive experience! I have to defend Cupid’s Gate because all the reviews I’ve ever read on Tony and Cupid’s Gate has been excellent. That’s the reason I brought my two children to train with Tony a year ago and now my husband and I took up archery recreationally :) My two children enjoy competing and the positive experience and look forward to their classes with Tony. I have never had a problem with Tony responding to my inquiries at any time and explaining the details of costs/​schedule, etc…
He is passionate and dedicated to the sport of archery and continues to be so regardless of ONE poor review that seems suspect to many of those who know this instructor.

Rated 5 stars for a reason!
Cupid’s Gate Archery is truly a professional, genuine institution for archers (both old and new) to partake in. Cupid’s Gate resides in the graceful setting of Golden Gate Park topped off by such a comfortable environment and friendly community. It is truly ineffable to describe the passion, commitment, wisdom, and humor that Tony Ng encompasses as the head coach and as a person (the same goes for all the other coaches too!) Ineffable because I don’t believe my words could do his teaching-​style justice. The instructors are really quite amazing. Whether it be a problem in the grip, stance, back-​tension, string-​alignment, etc, the coaches all possess the talent to detect the student’s problem immediately and fix it. Tony also utilizes the flip-​camera in his teaching: Tony records ones shooting form + pointing out ones mistake (s) in the recording = Problem is fixed and one shoots better. Tony’s passion for archery is truly inspiring and his care for all his students is as genuine as it is conspicuous. He even goes out of his way to set up further archery-​developing opportunities for his students (i.e. organizing a workshop taught by USA Olympic Archery athlete Khatuna Lorig, organizing a workshop taught by regional coach Keaton Chia, who is connected with the Olympic Training Center and the Easton Foundation, and etc). If that’s not passion I don’t know what is. CGA is professional, dependable, and the list of praiseworthy but apt adjectives goes on and on. Whether your going to shoot for recreational or competitive purposes, Cupid’s Gate Archery will leave you satisfied if not more. They know what their doing to say the least. Needless to say, I highly recommend Cupid’s Gate Archery.

I was so pleased with the instruction Tony has provided my daughter for her archery lessons. He was very professional and although the sport was new to us, Tony was able to keep it exciting and fun, my daughter is always thrilled to come for her next lesson. I highly recommend Tony to anyone interested in this sport for his sensational techniques and his expertise on working with his students.

Really quite incredible people. The lessons here are absolutely fantastic. Being brand new to the sport, I wasn’t expecting to excel half as fast as I did. The lessons are far beyond what is offered anywhere else in the Bay. I’ve also noticed that the community here is really welcoming, friendly and fun. I made Master Bowman on my third class and have made this my new favorite hobby.

AWESOME place to meet great people, enjoy a nice relaxing day and of course, learn archery.
New to the Bay Area and archery i found Cupid’s right here on Unilocal.After a few email exchanges with Tony (the instructor, who’s a great teacher and really patient) i started my first class. Since then I’ve improved greatly and made some new friends. There are people of all ages and skill levels so it’s a great learning environment. If you’re looking to learn, to complete or find a friendly group of archery enthusiast, Cupid’s is the place!

I attended the Cupid’s Gate Archery tournament on the 9^th of august and let me tell you these guy’s did a great job. I go to shoots all over Californa and I think these guy’s did a first class job. for such a reasonable entry fee they gave great trophys for first, second, and third and they feed you lunch, the food was awsome!!! and plenty of it, (my thanks again to all of the cooks.
the next time Cupid’s Gate has a tournament I will be there. I only have one negative comment and this not really a big deal but I think the breaks between rounds should be shorter to speed up the shoot a little, but with that said if you ran it exactly the same I will be back next time and will do my best to bring some friends.
thanks to all for a great shoot.

As good a place and gang to hang out with doing archery as any.
Seriously, the guys are all great and friendly, they even help refine your archery skills for free each Saturday morning (unless it rains and nobody can come out).
Plus you get to see some pretty slick shooting and high-​grade equipment for the serious archery enthusiast.
