Salt Lake Archery

Seriously, Salt Lake Archery is the «bee’s Knees!»
Screw mini golf, go here if you’re looking for something fun to do! A group of us came and the whole experience was just so much fun. It is an indoor, underground range and the entrance is almost secret so right from the start you are having fun! The employees were super helpful in that all of us were archery rookies. They explained how it all worked and hooked each of us up with a bow according to our gender, size, and strength. You are assigned a lane and set free! You can go for as long as you want and mix it up by shooting different distances.
It is really inexpensive and such a fun thing to do! I’ve been a couple times now because it really is just a blast. and it makes me feel like Katnis Everdean.

This place definitely reminds me of a blast from the past… basically back in the 80’s with everything old and not-​renovated. Brings a little charm to the place. Prices are really reasonable and the younger employees are friendly. I think the Manager/​Owner comes off gruff but means well in his own sort of way. Let’s see how it goes over time.
I had read a bunch of reviews about the terrible service but I think it’s been decent the last 2 – 3 times I’ve been. Will go back during cold and really hot days, otherwise, I’ll try to take my archery outdoors on decent days.

My bow had a major mishap on a Friday evening and I needed to get it fix ASAP. Long story short, Salt Lake Archery was the only archery shop open Saturday Sept. 5^th from Payson, Ut north to Salt Lake City. I was overly pleased with their service. They had my bow shooting again in no time at all and it cost me pretty much nothing.

This place is great. They have several shooting lanes and targets you can set up at different distances. This place is for your compound shooters and traditional recurve and longbow shooters like my self. They have decent prices on all of their stuff. I had them order me new limbs for a recurve bow once because no one sold them by themselves. Since they are a dealer for a bunch of companies they were able to order them for me and only charge me for the coast and shipping. The staff are supper friendly and they have classes as well. This place can get busy when hunting season starts but everyone is pretty good at sharing the lanes.

This place has the feel of a hole-​in-​the-​wall but it is really the best indoor archery range in town. The staff are knowledgeable and can help the novice. They also sell bows and other equipment here. Reasonable prices as well.

Salt Lake Archery is my go-​to for archery needs. They cater to both compound bow users and more traditional recurve/​longbow users. The staff have always been friendly and helpful. They offer classes and have always been ready to answer any questions I had. While it can get pretty busy, they have quite a few lanes for people to shoot on. They also have rental equipment, so if you’ve ever been curious about archery go give it a shot!

We had a few hours to kill before our flight home and it was scorching hot outside. We didn’t want to watch a movie, bowl, shop, or eat anything. I was running out of ideas until I found Salt Lake Archery on my Unilocal app.
We walked into the basement and saw a handful of people practicing. I was a bit intimidated but the bf was excited to give it a try. A few minutes later, armed with a rented bow and arrow, he headed to the practice range. The other people who were practicing were incredibly sweet and helped him set up his target, get familiar with the equipment and aim. He was having a good time shooting while I was enjoying myself using the free wifi available.

This place is a hidden underground gem. Literally. You come down the stairs and there are 4 archery arenas and another equipment area. One of these arenas is a simulated hunting video that you can aim at for hunting practice. To do that you need your own gear but for the rest of the areas you can rent or bring your own. A day pass is $ 5 and to rent equipment is $ 6. This is a fantastic price compared to other archery places I’ve been to that charge per hour and are way more expensive. I recommend coming here for any of multiple types of indoor archery practice you need.

Great pricing. $ 5 for a day pass and an additional $ 6 if you need to rent equipment. There are 3 ranges and a live simulation range that you can use for if you have your own equipment for $ 5 for 15 minutes.
Great location. Other ranges are on the outskirts of town, this on is in the heart of Sugar House, underground.

They are wonderful to work with and are more than willing to help you learn archery. They have classes for children and beginners. They are always friendly and helpful and willing to answer any questions.

I don’t know what is with all the negative reviews! It is an older place but I don’t mind that because I TRULY get personal, quick, and positive help every time I go there. I see the scout troops there and I know the staff cares about the community and building people and the sport of archery! I have never been treated rude, never been ignored… I guess some are disagreeing but I whole-​heartedly recommend this place to anyone who loves archery.

I received a gift card for Christmas to take some archery lessons, so I called them up and apparently I had to call a specific instructor to teach at a specific time. I didn’t care when my lesson was so I just called the guy they told me to. After attempting calling 7 or 8 times and leaving messages we finally set up a lesson. The lesson went great but after the hour he informed me that he wasn’t a part of the business so he couldn’t be paid by the gift card, only in cash. My whole experience with this place was one big headache and I wouldn’t go back, except now I have all this money on my gift card I still need to use…

I typically only care enough to Unilocal about restaurants, but I had a couple experiences at Salt Lake Archery that were so stellar that I had to sing their praise.
One Saturday when I was bored beyond the bounds of sanity, I came across Sam S.’ review of Salt Lake Archery and thought «why not take up archery». So I made my way down to Salt Lake Archery and poked around for a while watching the archers shoot on the range and perusing the archery supplies. The staff was attentive enough to ask if I needed anything but respectful enough to leave me be when I said I was just looking. After a while I decided I liked the place enough to take some archery lessons. I went to find someone to set up a time and that was my first introduction to Larry. He is awesome! Extremely friendly, incredibly knowledgeable and he has an infectious love of the sport of archery. I setup a lesson for the next day, a Sunday of all days. Bonus for being open on Sundays!
I returned for my appointment and Larry was there ready and waiting for me. He started with a brief introduction to different archery supplies and some knowledge gathering about my goals. We Quickly moved on to the range and Larry’s skill as a teacher was immediately apparent. He is patient with his students and clear in his instructions. He was engaged in my training and watched every shot i made with intense focus. I could not have asked for a better experience. I went from a complete novice to having a grasp of archery fundamentals and my aim improved immensely in just the one hour of training! I will be back to Salt Lake Archery for their range and most importantly for more instruction from Larry.

I walked into Salt Lake Archery as i wanted to learn about the sport of archery and the different types of bows available. Let me just say this might have been the worst retail experience i think i have ever had. Two employees just looked at me and went back to fiddling on their computers. I came over and mentioned that i was interested in archery but didn’t know much about it or where to start. It seemed that it physically pained him to offer any information. So, he just asked me how much i wanted to spend. I asked him about the types of bows and he pointed to a rack and told me to go look. Look at what? I don’t know what to look for! Then i flagged down a second sales guy. I told him the same story, i was interested in the sport and where do i start. Again he gave me very limited info and then went over to help someone at checkout. WTF! Very unhelpful, and not very friendly.

Salt Lake Archery is an indoor archery range for amateurs and professionals alike. Most of the people who shoot here are hunters who shoot compound bows, but there are others who shoot recurve, Olympic recurve, and even long bows. The owner Larry is friendly and the guys who run the pro shop are helpful if you have questions or need gear. During the week they teach classes including classes for kids. Salt Lake Archery has three shooting areas which can accommodate dozens of archers. When I shoot there the place usually isn’t very busy and we often have it mostly to ourselves. I enjoy shooting at Salt Lake Archery.
