West Coast Archery Shop — Local services in Petaluma

Amazing shop, great wealth of knowledge and products. The shooting range is a perfect place to get sighted in and get some tips from the pros on how to improve.

Hans proved prophetic, my 12 year old son outgrew the PSE jr and inherited my MXR (which is an amazing bow for the price) and I ended up with a Phase 4 which is smoother on the draw but a lot heavier.

The best resource for archery in the area. Great line up of products at competitive prices. These folks love what they do, are super knowledgeable and ethical. Give them your criteria and you will walk out with the best fit. He restrung a 45 year old hand me down magnesium bow a few years ago. This summer he set up my sons PSE bow that I bought at a sporting goods store, no questions asked. In hindsight never buy a bow from a place that knows little about them (compound bows are pretty technical to set up for a beginner). Decided to upgrade my old bow, my criteria was just target shooting, maybe hunt local game later, on a budget. I’d read stuff on the internet and went in looking for a specific make and model. Hans straight sells the make but that model was junky and did not carry it for that reason. He recommended the Mission MXR by Matthews. I trusted his recommendation and walked out with it fully set up (which is a process). At home, I started researching my new bow and learned it was hands down the best price/value bow on the market. Hans did not try to steer me into super expensive bows instead he guided me within my budget to a mid level priced bow that performs at a super high end. Hans is a real...

Not a single person that works here that's not simply amazing. As a new archer I had a lot of questions and they spent every second of time you spend in there helping you out with anything you need and anything that may help you understand the sport better. I didn't ask for 90% of everything I learned in there because I didn't have the questions in mind, yet these guys explained things so well to me and I never felt rushed to leave or to buy something that I didn't need. I have to drive over an hour to get here, but I'll be glad to make the drive any time I need their help. I wanted arrows that cost $35 more than what the owner told me I should get instead. I never felt like he was trying to make more money out of me than what he thought I may need.

With all that said, they have a great selection of products that range in price. Another thing is that they don't mark up their prices like other shops I've been to. Honest, good people that have my business. Thanks for making my two visits such a...

Thumbs up review for West Coast Archery. The owner is very knowledgeable and helpful. He will work with you to make sure you get what you want. The store has a wide range of items in stock - arrows, releases, broadheads, basically everything you need. They also have a big shooting range, nice looking, big, bright and clean, where you can rent a lane and shoot some arrows. Or you can take lessons. They also do leagues, check the website for the schedule. I've purchased here compound bows for myself and my kids, those models were very new (production had just started), so they didn't have them in stock. They placed orders with the manufacturers and the items arrived quickly. If you live in the Bay Area, this is one of your best options for an archery pro...
