I am very new to archery. This is the first ILF bow I bought from First Flight Archery. I found it at a very reasonable price, and the best thing is that the people are very knowledgeable. They cleared all my doubts and suggested the best possible answers.

I had a great experience as being new to bow hunting. Scott helped me choose the perfect set up and I appreciated his patience with my questions, his education, and then fine tuning my equipment on the indoor range. I signed up for a private lesson with Lesley, one of the owners. She is great at instructing and prepared me to slay white tails with my new bow. I very much recommend First Flight Archery to anyone looking to get into archery, their no pressure attitude shines and you can tell they are out to provide a great experience to all.

Both Johns assisted me with picking out my first compound bow. Had a large selection of new and used bows and let me try out different bows to see what felt better. They also taught me all the differences between parts and how to use an archery range properly. Overall the best experience I could ask for and will be coming back!

Service and training are top notch. They have a great selection and anything they don't have in store they will have on hand within a few days. And the shooting range is always a relaxed and clean space.

I picked up archery a few months ago and didn’t really know where to start, so I just ordered a bow on eBay. In hindsight I should’ve just visited First Flight Archery from the very beginning. They got the eBay bow restrung and tuned for me, and I took my first 2 deer with it this year, including my first buck! When the season ended, I decided to go ahead and upgrade my bow for next year. The guys in the shop (I’m terrible with names, sorry!) got me set up with a new-to-me Mathews Halon 6. Their prices are very fair, the facilities are impressive with a really nice archery range, and they really know what they’re doing when it comes to working on your equipment. Oh yeah, and their shop dog is one of the coolest dogs I’ve ever met…I need to learn his name too. I highly recommend First Flight Archery to anybody. From beginner to pro, they got you covered.

I am very recent to the archery world - and am wondering why I never have tried before. I’m a vet who was down at Bragg for years and decided to make my home permanently in the Raleigh area. I walked into the store knowing there were things called bows and arrows and that was it. The shop, you could tell, had and they knew everything you could want to know or buy with the awards to prove it. Coming from the gun world I was still intimidated! As soon as I spoke to John he laid it all out for me real simple. Jason got me some cool kit and I was shooting arrows for the first time that day. Even took a lesson from Mrs Winkler which I believe I will be making a monthly or so thing. Fantastic shop and I can’t say enough about the crew out there - highly recommend …

They were friendly and knowledgeable!! I'm new to Archery (like I had kid bows when I was younger but never a real bow), I bought a bow off Amazon (should have just bought one their!) And they didn't even hesitate to provide 5 star service, give me the run down, and setup the bow correctly, even told me how it would probably start to wear and how to fix it, so i could get the most out of it! I don't write reviews often but I was impressed with the quality of service I received! Definitely recommend!! Tell them your price range and they will set you up, wide range of solid looking bows!

First time and last time visiting, Employees were not very welcoming at all and took a long time to get help when it was me and my GF and two other guys looking.

We took our granddaughter here because she really enjoyed archery at summer camp. The staff were wonderful. They had the appropriate bow and arrow for a 9 year old to use. There were a good many people there but we were taken in right away and provided individual training (refresher). They had benches for us to sit in and watch. We enjoyed this very much and will definitely go again.

New to using a bow. I went in they were very nice and helpful even with asking some very crazy questions I asked. Called with another crazy question and was VERY HELPFUL AND NICE. Thank you for all you help and patience. Highly recommend.

Awesome staff. Very patient and helpful. I would highly recommend to anyone and everyone of all experience levels. Jason helped me by taking his time and explaining to me not only what was wrong with my set up but what causes it as well. My new favorite bow shop.

I have been a customer of First Flight since 2018. In that time, I have been to archery shops/pro shops as far north as Pennsylvania, as far south as Florida and as far west as Colorado (and quite a few places in between). While there are fantastic shops across our country, there is no place like home! The Winker's, along with the help of Jon, have built one of the best pro shops and indoor ranges there are. Not only is this the most comprehensive shop in the state, the indoor shooting facility is one of the top few in the state/region. The level of education and commitment each member of their staff dedicate to the sport, our community and our youth is second to none. These folks have become like family to me and I will forever be greatful of the knowledge they have shared and hospitality they have shown. They're the best, plain and simple!

Have had first flight string up a couple of bows for me. Had a timing issues just a few weeks before bow seasoned opened and the owner took care of me right away. Great experience and will be sure to keep supporting this shop in the future. Thank you first flight!
