Conejo Valley Archers

Visited beginning of March as a private session with my daughters scout troop. Instructor was great taking them through the safety protocols. He was very patient with the young learners. Girls had a great time and cant wait to return for another round.

I am learning a lot here. Open public shoot is great on Saturdays. Some coaches available for private lessons.

Awesome club. Showed up as a total newbie, they welcomed me, loaned me everything I needed, explained all the safety procedures and taught me how to shoot. It was so much fun I bought a bow later that day. Now I am joining the club so I have access to the range other than public day. A fun sport where everyone from kids to retirees can enjoy together.

Very friendly people, awesome staff willing to help you learn how to shoot.

Fun archery site, really nice people who run the site, they have terrific archery events

First off the range is not very maintained. But that is OK as it is outside and hard to do. What isnt OK are the members that I encountered there. Here is my first experience with the canejo valley archers. The sign on the fence said open to public. So I went into a very empty range that had a small party going on, on one end of the range. so I set up shop at the farthest target from the party, making sure to give the kids plenty of space. I was following prober range edict, waiting untill everyone was off range before shooting even though there was a good 50+ yards between us. However, when I went out to retreave my arows, and Still mid field, they had the kids start shooting. I was shocked. 10+ kids shooting arrows in my direction. However, maybe thats how the canejo valley archers do things. So, I followed their example and fired through their all clear call. Thats when a very rude women yelled from across the feild that if I was not a member I had to go. When I pointed out that the sign still said open to public. She said something to the effect of. just because I didnt change it to close. Doesnt mean its open and we have a party going on, you have to go!. Oddly enough As I was packing up. The party left. She was rude. The edict was extremely dangerous . And it wasnt a very good field. And judging by the people. I wouldnt join or recommend the club to anyone. All of it was a very poor example to the children attending The party.

So much fun!
