Testimonials
What People Are Saying
“This was the first time I had ever had touched a bow, and I was quite nervous if I would be able to learn archery at all. Bonnie was very encouraging, helpful and patient, and I quickly gained confidence. Bonnie is very knowledgeable and understands what her students need. I was so inspired by my first lesson with Bonnie that I bought my own equipment.”
“Bonnie is a wonderful instructor. She was able to accommodate for myself, my coworkers, and their spouses with ease, regardless of our skill level with archery. Our session was the best archery lesson that we had, with my coworkers and their spouses expressing their excitement and joy. She also provided additional individual instruction for us during each part of the session, which was very helpful for some who had little to no experience with archery. For all of my future archery group lessons, I will definitely work with Bonnie.”
“If you’re interested in learning archery in a safe, fun and encouraging environment, I can highly recommend Santa Cruz Archery Lessons. Bonnie and Ed are two of the most kind, patient, attentive, enthusiastic and knowledgeable instructors I’ve ever had the pleasure of learning from in any field. They helped coach me in everything from equipment selection and setup, to safety, form, body mechanics, judging distance, elevation, wind, knowledge of the course, and so much more. Small things translate to big changes as you learn to shoot at greater distances. Bonnie and Ed were experienced and attentive enough to calmly observe and offer just the right suggestions at the right times in my development to realize rapid progress that felt effortless. In fact I went from shooting my first arrows to successfully competing in a club tournament in a few short training sessions.
These are genuinely good humans who’s passion for this sport and sharing it with others just can’t be and shouldn’t be contained. I walk away from my lessons with Bonnie and Ed feeling not only good about archery but good about life! I’m so grateful for their help. Thank you Bonnie and Ed!!!”
“I recently started getting into archery and was looking for a place with an indoor range and bow rentals because I don’t have one yet. I came across Santa Cruz Archery. My 3 friends & I signed up for a class with Bonnie, and she was a great instructor. She taught us the basics and really paid attention to our form to help us correct it. Braces were provided as well, which is a plus because I’ve been to another range without the protective gear. Would definitely recommend for beginners, and would most definitely come back to try their outdoor range!”
“My friends and I scheduled a group lesson with Bonnie and had such a fun time! There were nine of us, and she gave us each individual attention, correction our form and providing tips to help us with accuracy. She also taught us about basic archery etiquette and safety on the range. Bonnie was friendly and professional, and we all thought she was a great teacher.”
“I took my team to Santa Cruz Archers last year and had the pleasure of having Bonnie T. as our instructor for the day. Overall the team really enjoyed the event and a huge part of this was because of Bonnie’s patient and informative instruction. Most of my team had not done archery before, but by the end of the session many of us were regularly hitting our targets. I definitely recommend archery as a team bonding event, and if you can get Bonnie as your instructor it will be even better.”
“We had a wonderful team event at the Santa Cruz Archery Range. Bonnie and the other instructors were amazing and patient teachers for our group of archery newbies. By the end of our event, everyone’s skills had improved greatly. Thank you for hosting an outstanding event for our team!”
