Archery Ranges in Norwood, Massachusetts
BayState Archers Training Center
BayState Archers offers a mixed bag of experiences for archery enthusiasts. It's a no-frills facility with basic rental equipment and structured lessons for both adults and kids. The coaches are highly experienced and take safety seriously - perhaps too seriously at times. Some customers love the disciplined, martial arts-like atmosphere and have seen great progress. Others find the instructors' approach too stern or unwelcoming. The facility is wheelchair accessible and reasonably priced at $20/hour per person. While the rental equipment is basic, it gets the job done for beginners. This place might work well if you're ready to learn archery with a strict, traditional teaching style. But first-timers should come with an open mind and be prepared for direct feedback.
