Impact Archery

If you're in the market for a bow, don't waste your time with sporting goods stores. Impact Archery is definitely the way to go for all your archery needs. They have knowledgeable staff armed with the expertise to help you make the best purchasing decisions, no matter if you're an experienced hunter or a novice target shooter.

Brian was especially accommodating, going above and beyond to make sure I had the compound bow I needed for an upcoming hunting trip I had planned. I couldn't recommend them enough and they have certainly gained a lifelong customer.

Bought my first bow from Impact. Staff is very knowledgeable and helpful in every way. They have a nice indoor range. Be careful archery can be addicting.

A quick video, then a hands-on demo and you're ready to shoot! Plus, it's AC. Would highly recommend and return again.

What an awesome experience! The owner and Rebecca our instructor were so nice and helpful. We had a Groupon for a 2hr session along with an instructional session to get us newbies started. Rebecca was so patient and nice! I was very nervous as it was my first time ever shooting and she was so supportive and motivating. We had such a great time. The environment was so welcoming. The regulars were so happy to give us pointers and were so supportive as well. One of the best adventurous experiences in Fresno. Definitely will be coming back and recommending to others. Thank you for a great time learning something new!

We had a great time at Impact Archery. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. The facility was well laid out and was nice and clean. My 13 and 14 year old daughter's had a great time too! We will definitely be back.

Extremely Disappointed!!

We scheduled and paid for a birthday party for my daughter on August 30th 1 month in advance. The day of our party, I arrived with 4 eager children and a picnic lunch only to find a sign on the door that said, "Impact Archery will be closed on August 30th." I called Monday to find out what happened, and why they canceled my daughter's birthday party without notifying us they said, "Everyone went hunting, and I didn't think to check the schedule."

Ultimately, The Spot Archery in Fresno accommodated my daughter's birthday party with no reservations or prior warning. They went as far as opening the range outside of their normal business hours, with one hour notice in an effort to ensure my daughter's birthday celebration was not totally ruined.

Needless to say, we will not be going back to Impact Archery for any reason. We will take all of our business to The Spot Archery in Fresno from now on.

Came here on a groupon deal with some of my friends and we had a blast. The guy who taught us how to shoot was super nice - sorry I didn't catch your name! He had us competing with each other and ultimately declared a winner amongst our friends. A great time was had by all! I'm definitely eager to return.

This place is great! The new owner and operator Brian is very knowledgeable and willing to answer questions. A big change from the last time I'd gone to Impact Archery. That was about 5 years ago and was very underwhelmed with the service. I was looking for information about getting into archery hunting but left feeling frustrated and without anymore information than I had before. Big difference this time around, Brian answered all my question on multiple visits. I always left better informed and feeling more comfortable with my next decision. After 2-3 months of answering every question I offered up I finally made all my purchases and couldn't be happier. Brian setup my bow, sight, rest, quiver, and arrows. Everything is perfect. It's really a great place to learn and develop your skills.

First time going with my lady nice gentleman helped teach me and was such an amazing space and energy

The facility is great. Plenty of lanes. That's worth three stars. Mondays through Thursdays are best if you're not working because there aren't a lot of archers. Not sure about the evenings during the weekdays. My guess is everyone is off work and is out target practicing. I know for sure that Fridays and Saturdays can get very busy, which can get crowded. Sometimes you'd have to wait for awhile for your turn.

The downside (minus two stars) is the young kid working the counter. Not friendly and seemed annoyed when asked questions about recurve vs. longbows, carbon vs. aluminum arrows, feather vs. plastic fletching, point grains, etc.. For any beginner archer, like myself, we are going to have hundreds of questions. We just want to scrape the tip of the iceberg. This young kid should learn to have patience and explain it to the best of his knowledge. Instead he gave off this vibe like he didn't want to help or answer any questions. That on a personal opinion, tells me that he's not very knowledgeable at what Impact Archery is selling. It's like a doctor telling his/her patient that the patient is sick but gives no explanation as to why or what's causing the illness.

I did purchase a couple hundred bills worth from them last time. Although, last time it was from an older gentleman who was patient. Was gonna purchase some items from them again, but that young kid made me change my mind. Called 3 Rivers Archery and they patiently answered all my questions. They even offered to help answer future questions if I had any that hasn't crossed my mind yet. Will still go there for target practicing, but will not purchase any of their items.
