First Flight Archery is a great indoor archery range. Also a great place to purchase Archery equipment. I went looking for a store to purchase my first compound. Both John’s were very patient and helpful. It was my first bow and I didn’t know a lot about the lasted models. I was able to test shot a couple bows setup for my draw length and draw weight. After a few days I checked out with a great setup thanks to First Flight Archery!

Both John and John always take care of me, great place to go and begin archery in my book. I started archery in December when I walked into their store as green as green could be, I told them I needed a bow to hunt with and that could put down larger game animals like elk. They put together everything I needed and gave me a few pointers and sent me on my way to practice practice practice. I went to Texas to break the ice before elk season and after almost having a clean pass through on a nilgai at 25 yards I’d say the set up is spot on 👍🏻. It’s always a pleasure for me to find a reason to go back out to my bow shop to hangout with everyone and send a few arrows

It’s been 3 months since I last shot my compound bow because it needed some work. Today I finally took it in to @firstflightarchery and the guys there fixed me right up. Paper tuned, new D loop, checked everything, ready to go. They even let me try out a new release before I bought it by taking some shots on the range. 5 shots = 5 bullseyes and the first one dead center, couldn’t be happier! Big thanks to First Flight Archery, I will be back.

Went to First Flight to get a new bow. John helped me pick out a new bow and then help me set it up. Bow shoots amazing. He explained why he set the bow up the way he did and fletched arrows for me. Great experience. Thanks

My wife and I got our son a bow for Christmas because he had fun learning about them in scouts. There arent too many spots that Ive found to go shooting at yet, but I was happy I found this place.First Flight is primarily an archery store. They have all the fun things you would expect- including very helpful staff.The range is an indoor archery range located in the back of the shop. It has 20 spaces for folks to line up and shoot at targets. From the red line to the wall is 20 yards. There are also large targets on wheels that can be moved closer if youre new to the sport.Everyone who was shooting was nice. They all focus on what theyre doing, but they are all intent on safety too. When everyone has shot their arrows, there is a pause and someone calls clear so we can retrieve arrows.There arent any bows to rent so youll need your own to shoot.This was great for my son- he had a blast and wants to go regularly.

My 13-year-old daughter received a lesson as a Christmas gift. This was a great experience. The instructors provided individualized support to all students. We will absolutely go again! I highly recommend.

My friends and I are new to Archery, and all staff here treated us very well over several visits. Even though we likely looked like fools, overconfident in our opinions we got on the internet, John (and John) treated us with respect and patience as we worked through what we really wanted and needed for our first bows. We felt no sales pressure, and the process was very chill.They have a comfortable couch and chairs which were clutch for our family as we waited for bows to be set up and adjusted. We came on a very busy night and then also on a slower mid-day, and both times we had a place to sit and wait as needed.Two of us have pretty significant physical disabilities, and John seamlessly helped us select bows and equipment that worked for us, without any feeling of us being coddled or overprotected, and certainly without any feeling of being overlooked or underestimated.Very cool people run First Flight, and it will likely be our spot for many years to come.

Recently visited First Flight Archery with family to purchase a compound bow for our daughter, and couldnt be more pleased with our experience at this shop:Knowledgeable and friendly shop owner, lots of high-quality inventory, and a place for learning and community, featuring a nice indoor range. Looking forward to returning.

The staff was super friendly and helpful. They even have a range in the shop to try out new (or in my case New to Me) bows. I am an absolute beginner and I felt like they explained everything well and did not make me feel like a bother for asking questions. Hopefully when work permits I will be out to try some of their classes. Keep up the great work guys!

John and Dalton were great to work with! Came in with a price point and bow in mind and they encouraged me to shoot 5-6 different bows and pick the one that felt the best. I went ahead and followed and was glad that I did. The bow I thought I wanted ranked low on the ones I tried after shooting. Ended up going with the Mathews Vertix and couldn’t be happier. They spent the time and made sure I was set up correctly and made the process fun. Would highly recommend First Flight for all your archery needs. Great selection too. 👍🏼

Went in with only the knowledge I wanted to get a good bow to practice with and eventually start hunting. The gentleman in the store was very busy, fixing people’s arrows, setting up bows and such. He made the time to come over and explain everything and answer every one of the million questions I had. He really listened, and gave me multiple recommendations at different price points. Never felt pressured to spend more than I wanted. If anything, he was suggesting cheaper options until I got more knowledgeable about what I was purchasing. After the purchase set up everything for me, and took me back to the range. Gave me basic pointers to get me started and then told me I was free to stay and play around as long as I wanted. Even threw in a free case for me to carry everything in. I couldn’t recommend these folks enough. They truly know what they’re doing, have a passion for it, and won’t make you feel any kind of way for being clueless. “Everyone’s gotta learn sometime and somewhere” is all I ever heard come from him with a smile. Only place I’ll ever spend money when it comes to archery.

You know you’ve come to the right place the moment you walk in....Wether you’re looking for gear or just starting off into Archery this is where you want to be. I began with their Archery 101 course and was immediately impressed with the wealth of knowledge that John and Lesley brought to the table. You can trust without any doubt they have your best intentions in mind and will guide you down whichever path you find yourself in the world of Archery. I’ll be starting the adult courses on Tuesdays and couldn’t be happier I found this great place to start my adventure and continue to hone my skills. Thanks John and Lesley, you rock!!

3 years ago I walked into John and Lesleys amazing shop not knowing anything about archery. Years later, I have purchases 3 bows (Mathews Tactic, PSE DNA Pro Series and a Galaxy recurve) along with an assortment of accessories from FFA.They are always very helpful with good advise and wonderful coaches! Now, my children and I shoot in both their JOAD and ADULT classes and attend tournaments. John and Lesley have made archery enjoyable and something I get to do with my children -- For this I am thankful.

I Purchased a crossbow a few years back took it to FFA before bow season. I knew the strings needed to be replaced. WHEN I walked in the guy at counter acted like he could have cared less if he helped me or not.HE then berated me for the way my strings were. HE then proceeded to tell me in a deeming way that I did not know how to take care of my bow. HE then told me that it would take over a month to get new strings for the bow. with is absurd. This place was a great store when Justin the previous owner was running/ owned it. He actually wanted to help. THE guy that was at the counter when I went seemed like he could have cared less if he helped me or not. I will never set foot in FFA again.

I took my arrows here to get them weighed as well as make a few adjustments to my bow.

As a new bow owner, these guys were great getting me setup with all the right gear. Literally, Id never shot a bow in my life and these guys took care of my rig, gave me some pointers, walked me back to the range and worked through my first dozen or so shots. Highly recommended.

I have used First Flight to restring my bow and have bought a few accessories over the years. Yesterday I took my adult son in to get his crossbow restrung. My son wanted to look at a compound bow and John showed him a new entry level bow that gets him started without breaking the bank. Today we went back in and my son purchased his first compound bow and they could not have been more helpful in getting everything set up and fitted. He was super excited as we left the store and said, thats why you need to shop at a local bow shop and not a big chain store! I highly recommend First Flight if you are just starting out in archery or if you are a seasoned veteran....they take care of you!

We have had a great experience with First Flight Archery and John. I bought my first bow there last year, took lessons with my wife, and then killed my first deer last fall. They are extremely helpful and great teachers. They are also very responsive to any customer service needs. I just wish they were in Durham. I will still make the 30 minute drive but that is the only downside.They also have a great big indoor range that is fun to shoot in with a lot of regular matches.You can’t go wrong with First Flight Archery!

Im a beginning traditional shooter with a used bow who stopped by looking the shop looking to pick up a set of arrows. Despite the fact that I wasnt there to spend boatloads of money, the bow technician who helped me, wish I could remember his name, was extremely helpful and patient with my questions. I had a rough estimate on my draw length and the bows draw weight, and he checked these on my request. He recommended a decent carbon arrow I could target shoot and also, eventually, use for hunting. Id also been looking for a three under tab and picked one up on his recommendation.After shooting the arrows, his recommendation was spot on. My groups are immediately consistent. Looking forward to visiting First Flight in the future.

Heard about this place from my dad, who’s an avid bow hunter. Was not impressed. The customer service was less than mediocre as the tall thin fellow acted as if my money wasn’t green b/c of my complexion. Guess I’ll be buying 2 bows and accessories from somewhere else where 🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️The rude demeanor was very prevalent and was not appreciated given the environment and audience. Walking away from what was to be a customer while mid statement is evidence enough in how much you wanted my business. I’m just making others aware of the situation from my perspective while accompanied by my children. Thank you for the lack of professionalism and southern hospitality.

The archery 101 class was a great introduction to the sport. The coaching was very helpful. I bought my basic setup here and got solid advice, not a sales job. Prices were very competitive. Consider coming here instead of internet shopping. Based on my experience you will get a good deal with advice to match, and be supporting your local pro shop.

My wife and I came here for a beginner lesson this past weekend and enjoyed it immensely! The instructors were very knowledgeable and worked with each student on their particular shortcomings. The class was invaluable in practicing hands-on archery skills and learning the basic safety rules of shooting. My wife, who has never shown much interest in archery as a sport, had so much fun that she would like to practice on the weekends! Their indoor range is very well kept, clean, and offers a nice, open space for shooting with both practice targets and foam animals. Their shop is well organized and the staff is a pleasure to interact with. Thank you for the wonderful experience!

Ive been shooting a bow for more than 25 years and I learn something new every time I come here. Even when I can buy something online Id rather go to First Flight Archery to get it due to the expertise that comes with whatever you buy.

Woke up today, day of my intro class, sick and when I called to reschedule I was told It is not my fault you are sick, I cant just give away free classes so...not a good way to get repeat customers who could potentially love to spend money at your business. Needless to say Im bummed Im out $27 because I doubt the instructor or people at the class will want to catch whatever I have. Wont be trying this place again, rude.

I knew absolutely nothing about archery before I came to first flight, I attended there intro classes and fell in love with the sport. Staff here are all very nice and informative. They are always trying to save you money by advising you on the best products for your specific needs. If youre new to archery or been shooting a while I HIGHLY reccomend first flight. Great coaches to learn from and great people to shoot with. I got my first bow from here and couldnt be happier. Cant go wrong by going to first flight. Its worth the 1.5 hour commute to get there for me, thats how good this place is.

Despite not being in any class the other people shooting helped me learn and last Saturday I was bought the new bow starter package from there. I love my bow they are always so helpful and I have so much fun with archery now I look forward to my visits to their range a lot. Their price for range time is also a really good deal.

I bought a used crossbow from my nephew that I believed needed a new string a year ago. So I took it to First Flight to have it checked out and the string replaced. Not only did it take 3 weeks to put it on. They chraged me a 180 bucks. I shot it one time last deer season and put it up till this season. Shot it 20 times last weekend to sight it in and the string is coming all to pieces! So I took it back to them. They told me my bow was junk and I should buy a new one from them ($330.00). They should have never put a string on a junk crossbow to begin with! Thats just DISHONEST GREEDY business! Never will I spend any of my hard earned money at this store again.

I went to First Flight Archery for bow repair. The man who assisted me John seemed to speak down to me for purchasing a product he didnt recommend. He made me feel like it was my fault that the equipment didnt function and that I should have known better. Regardless of that fact, he proceeded to lecture me in a very degrading way that I shouldnt have used the product I purchased on Amazon. Furthermore, he than explained that I was going about archery the wrong way in that wood recurve bows should not have scope attachments made for composites. This product was sold to work well with my recurve by another vendor. The product was somewhat faulty in its design, but that wasnt my fault. He continued to lecture me as he was repairing the bow. He did the bare minimum for the repair and told me I should fix the rest of the bow myself by adding washers on the attachment (which he didnt provide). Than he charged me $16.00 for 5 minutes worth of work. I was very disappointed. I left with a bow that was still unfixed, a lecture on how dumb I was to purchase something which by all accounts was recommended to me and I had to pay him for it. I will not recommend anyone do business with First Flight Archery. One further note, John also implied that he could instruct me how to be a better archer by taking lessons from him. He had the audacity to seek more of my business after insulting me previously. I hope no one patronizes this guy in the future for bow purchases, lessons or repairs unless they want to be made to feel stupid for not being as experienced as John.

We are regular customers at First Flight Archery and are so thankful for the service and expertise they provide. Both John and Leslie are a huge help, and are always interested to engage with my ten-year-old son, the archery and bowhunting enthusiast. They encourage him and provide recommendations to him that go way beyond selling. If you need equipment or service, this should be your first stop. They are better than anywhere else you might think of going - by a mile. First Flight is locally owned and operated. Both are bowhunters, and USA Archery competition shooters. John & Leslie - keep up the great work! Were glad youre here. Matt & Ben

Bought a bow kit from a big box store. They said I was set up and ready to shoot. A terrible hunting season left me doubtful. I took my bow to NC Hunter Supply today. The staff was attentive and helpful. They explained how my bow was not set up properly ( not even close). They spent the time to educate a beginning bow hunter, and set up my bow properly. It only cost $20 and by the time I left, I was shooting nice groups and had the confidence I could make the shot come opening day. Thanks NC Hunters Supply!!!

Review №73

Im not sure if this is just one in a thousand, but my bow got restrung here and was completely messed up when I got it back. Peep wouldnt stop rotating, had to be adjusted every 2-3 shots. He did say I could bring it back to have it fixed if it was an issue, but I also noticed the arrow wasnt parallel at full draw and my fletchings were no longer clearing my rest, and it obviously wasnt shooting nearly as well as it had been. I ended up taking it in to another bow shop around here and was shown just how off everything was. Nocking point was too high, arrow rest was too low, and cams were out of tune slightly. Its fixed and shooting great again. Im sure he does a good job overall, given his other reviews. My experience just missed the mark. The 2 stars are for the big indoor range shop has. Good place to shoot.In response to the owner, I fully believe he would have fixed everything, but we were in the middle of a move, so I didnt have the time to run up there and get it fixed when there was another bow shop that was closer. The reason I drove all the way up there in the first place was because of all the great reviews he received. As for the break-in period, I shot about 400-500 shots through the bow, so I was well past the break-in period, which I was told was maybe 50-60 shots. As I said, Im sure he does great work, and he would have corrected the issue, but this was just my experience. From the overall rating, Im sure my experience was an anomaly.

I brought my nephew (12 yr old) to shoot a week ago while we were in NC visiting family and the experience was incredibly rewarding.

It was undoubtedly a friendly, helpful, and enjoyable experience.I will make sure to visit again whenever I am in NC.

A friend of mine accidentally dry fired my bow and the string was destroyed in the process.As a complete beginner who purchased his bow from a pawn shop I had no idea what to do about it. A little digging online turned up NC Hunter Supply.It was a bit of a drive and the whole time I was fearing the worst, that my bow was ruined.NC Hunter Supply not only were able to repair it by making a new bowstring for me but were also extremely helpful in educating me about everything from proper form to the various components and accessories and everything in between.All of this just in the process of getting my bow repaired.They made me feel welcome and educated me without talking down to me and the whole experience left me feeling grateful that there is somewhere nearby so professional and yet still so down to earth and friendly.I cant recommend NC Hunter Supply enough, they are truly top notch and have left me feeling confident in my equipment. I cant wait to shop there again.

Took bow in for new string which was told would be ready within a week. Nearly three weeks later after calling for update multiple times, drove 20 miles back to shop to find employees in parking lot feeding geese. But no string for my bow nor did they care. Ive ran a construction business in this state for over 30 years but never would have made it with employees like these. Ill find someone else.

Came here after a bad experience at Gander Mountain. Staff was super friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. More places should have this kind of customer service!

First time there. New owner lady was very nice and knowledgeable. But the husband was very mean to the kids and show no respect to the parents. Will never go there again.

I like NC Hunter Supply. The staff is really friendly too. I am not a pro archer yet but they are never too judgemental. I am always asking questions which I am sure are very typical of novices, but they dont seem to mind and happily answer my questions.
