After trying a Reno archery competitor, my boyfriend and I, gave High Desert Archery a shot. Archery must be the newest craze in Reno. High Desert Archery featured a 10 dollargroupon for an hour session and 5 minute "lesson". I bought one for myself and one as a gift for my boyfriend. We thought it would be a fun Labor Day day date. This place wasn't very busy and there were only two other archers in here at the time of our session. As you walk in there is a small pro gift shop and a huge indoor range. The lady was very accommodating and allowed us to try many different kinds of recurve and compound bows. I used a standard compound bow because it was what I was used to. My boyfriend, Bryan needed a recurve bow that would accommodate for his height. I particularly liked that this place offered arm guards and finger protection. I was hesitant at first, but it is definitely a must due to your fingers getting sore from pulling on the bow string so many times. Plus, it is nice to protect your arm from bruises and welts. The girl that was working there was nice and helpful. She explained things, but didn't go into too much detailed. Our sessions were for an hour, but no one was keeping track of the time. We stayed and shot for about two hours. I would definitely recommend coming here again.
