Highlights
  • Joshua Tree - Engaging in archery can be a serene and enjoyable pastime. You’ll have the opportunity to use a bow to launch arrows at targets from a range of distances that suit your preference. Our selection includes various bows, starting with one for novices. You’ll begin practicing at a close range, and as your skills improve, you’re welcome to return and try shooting from greater distances. The archery lanes extend from 20 to 100 feet from the targets, offering a satisfying challenge to see if you can hit the bullseye from farther away as you become more proficient. Enjoy the freedom to shoot at your own pace. Our instructors will guide you through the basics of aiming and releasing the arrow, and you can take it from there. As you progress, we also offer more sophisticated equipment for your use.

Archery Birthday Weekend - We had a great time, the gentleman provided us with a quick short lesson, guided us for a few minutes and then left us alone and let us do our thing. He gave us helpful tips that made it much easier and an overall fun experience.

A Blast - Frank was awesome, he went straight to teaching us and letting us go for it. The experience was a lot of fun, I went with my wife. We even had a chance to help him out and try out his paintball gun range. I would highly recommend this place and would go again if we had the chance. Thanks Frank!!!

A Solid Choice if You Have an Hour - We had a fantastic time as a group of four at Frank's archery experience. He equipped us with protection for both hands before patiently teaching us 61-year-olds with energy and encouragement. After initially instructing us, he left us to practice to our hearts' content. One hour was plenty of time before we wanted a hearty lunch. Several days before our lesson, Frank reached out to confirm our appointment, give us precise directions, and answer our questions. I've used Viator for several years worldwide, and Frank is the only proprietor who's reached out to us to ensure our day would go smoothly. Highly recommend.

Amazing archery experience - The archery experience was amazing! My Wife and I really enjoyed our time here and the owner was great! They had all the right equipment and gave the perfect overview on how to shoot. 10/10 would recommend this as a couple, a family, and especially a great time with friends.

It was good enough... - To be clear, this is not in or near the Joshua Tree experience but was a fun activity for the kids in that it was something different to do. I just wish the instructor was more engaged with us and stayed with us to show us some games or friendly competitions or something. Don't get me wrong, he knew about the fine art of archery, but he spent maybe 10 minutes with us to show us how to operate the equipment and then we were on our own. That wasn't the experience we expected, but it was something to do. If you want to switch things up while you're out in JT, I would still give this a try.

Cool Day Loosing Arrows in the Desert - This was a laidback and enjoyable encounter, with a friendly host and interesting desert landscape. It's off the beaten path, but a beautiful California day made it worth the trek; the no-pressure setup was exactly what I hoped for in a beginner archery experience.

I want a refund! - Terrible experience because the instructor sucked. Didn’t know how to teach, was not helpful, nor was he patient. He was irritated and unprofessional from the very beginning. I wish I could get a refund! Made my partner feel Uncomfortable and scared to mess up because of how condescending he was. This was our first time ruined because our instructor terrible attitude. Felt judged entire time 0/10.
