Reviews of Archery World
N. J.I purchased a Winners tft Nano riser from a friend. So I decided to treat myself and upgrade everything. I contacted Dan to order a stabilising set and new Winners NSG limbs.
When I arrived to the shop I was met by John and he was extremely helpful in setting everything up nocking my sting and measuring a new set of arrows. I am still a Novice and I understand the kit i ordered it is high end but I have no intentions to ever upgrade again to which John said GOOD! Haha.
I highly recommend here as nothing is a bother for them. They have a indoor range which you can use.
So again highly highly highly recommend they are super friendly and helpful and as a novice they don’t make you feel uncomfortable you feel so welcome and I cannot fault this.
Thank you once again
Dan for ordering
John for setting up and everything else.
Legends.
F. T.They have everything you need for Archery, whether you are a beginner or an experienced archer. Good variety of choices, I expected it to be bigger, but I still found all I needed. There is also a separated shooting area within the shop, where you can try / practice - which is obviously very well indicated.
B. N.I found the adult beginner's kit online and was looking to buy it for me and my partner to learn together. Called Archery World for advice and they suggested we travel up to Preston and try out the products to be confident in what suited us. They were so friendly and they helped us find a bow that was a good in-between for our abilities so that we could get something that worked for both of us! We got to try it out at the showroom as well. They sent us away with a very well priced beginner's kit, a target, and a warranty on the bow in case we have any issues with it in the future. Thank you, Archery World!
K. C.Great for anybody whether you are a beginner buying your first bow or an advanced archer looking for advice. I bought my first bow and arrows here last year and have gone back numerous times for further equipment and new arrows. Highly recommend.
My only gripe is how long it takes to get through on the phone but this is understandable with only one phone.
A. G.Excellent customer service from Archery World, even on distance sales. I had bought a beginners kit from here previously and needed to get a replacement nock as I had lost one but did not know what to order as a replacement so emailed them to ask. The response form Dan was very quick and helpful, even checking with me after I had placed the order online as I had erroneously ordered something I did not necessarily need. He gave some very good advice about what I needed to do to fix my arrow. I have no hesitation in recommending these guys for all archery needs. Certainly my go to place for kit, shame they are about 200 miles away. Order arrived in 2 days.
j. L.Highly recommended. Went with a list but came away with what we needed. John took so much time and patience with my 14 year old son to ensure what we bought was suitable and would grow with him. It was a pleasure to be served by someone with a passion for his sport and we are humbled that you represented our nation and won a paralympic gold medal.
a. b.Been today and John helped me so much to get my first bow such a helpful members off staff there happy to help and talk you though all the kit and items needed.
So happy with the shop
L.Highly recommended... John was patient and helpful in setting me up with my archery kit. You can get all your archery items from here
M. T.Great service, fully fitted out with everything I need. Will definitely be coming back for future supplies.
D. N.Okay, let's talk about customer service.... or rather let's talk about Dan's customer service.
SECOND TO NONE!!!!
I have been out the game for a while. So I I figured I'd get back into it. So I put a shopping list together and emailed it to them (archery world customer email) this is when I met Dan!!!
He sifted through my list, of 11 different items, offered suggestions and swaps on a couple of bits (saving me money) and explained why he thought of the changes and why... string count, arrow spine ect.
So we to and throwed to make sure we had the perfect list, then when we had it sorted, I said if ordered it and mentioned my order number (about 5 at night)
This is when it gets good!! I asked if they did anything for armed forces.... boy did they, the next day in the morning I had my fed ex next day tracker, Dan had got my order together, put the nocks on the string for me, threw in a bow rest, a stringer and targets free of charge.
My order arrived 40 hours after making it, all there with helpful instruction books in there too, all well.packed and not damaged.
End line. AMAZING customer service, everything was explain with the whys and wherefores, I wasn't just told what I should get. Fast delivery well packed and super helpful!!
Will be returning soong!!!
L. H.Super lovely and friendly. John is really approachable and offered great advice to my partner who needed new strings for his bows.
C. G.They usually have everything you need. A lot of items had no prices. Friendly and helpful staff. I bought a new bow string because the one they had supplied and fitted on my new bow was two inches shorter than it should have been. They ought to have offered to replace it for free or at least given me a discount.
A. T.awesome people, great service today from John. Explained everything and taught me loads of tips and tricks. I wont shop anywhere else from now on
K. A.Very helpful friendly staff would recommend to anyone starting archery or someone advanced in archery to have a look at Archery World. Got my own 1st set of arrows an 1st riser from them today an I'm very happy with them both
A. L. M.Checked whether a Legend Atom recurve case was in stock at 12:00 yesterday (19/1) - it was, so placed online order within minutes. Case arrived by courier at 10:00 today! Excellent service thank you.
p. s.Needed a 90cm foam target and despite selling 3 in the morning the guys were able to source and get another before i had travelled over 300 miles to collect. very grateful
R. “. d. S.Had an amazing first visit at Archery World. The guys looked after me, especially John Stubbs. Ironically, I went in for a right-handed bow and came out having bought a left-handed bow. Turns out I am predominantly left eye dominant. Who knew.
And now I have to retrain. Damn
Cheers guys, see you all soon
J. B.First visit since the store has been revamped. Lots of goodies on display and the new range looked nice and bright. Went for new points and a string and got just what I wanted.
T. R.Brilliant company. Customer care is paramount and they will go the extra mile to ensure you have your order when you need it. I would highly recommend this company for any and all your archery needs.
J. P.Took the grandad here they are very knowledgeable and worth going for there advice. They are not just about selling but for you to have the right gear.
m. c.I visited today with my friend Mark who was looking for a competition spec bow for his daughter with all the trimmings. Impressed by the knowledge and care they took to assist him find everything that might be needed and to offer advice on things his daughter might consider.
I went along for the ride and because I’m considering digging out an old long bow and getting started again. I’m going back with my bow for guidance and with the care they took over creating a safe place and their friendliness and knowledge, and their care in saving you money, I’m looking forward to it.
D. H.After my latest visit to Archery World they once again get a rating of 10/10. The stall are friendly, helpful, patient and very informative. Visiting the shop is a pleasurable experience. Well done to all the staff. They do a great job. Keep up the good work.
s. b.Could of not asked for a better experience thank you John
I. F.I was looking for a gift for my brother and I knew he wanted an archery set. I found Archeryworld online and contacted them to get some further information. Daniel called me back after I sent an email and was so helpful I think I asked like a million questions but he was so patient and gave me advice and tips on what to get for my brother.
It felt like I was speaking to good friend when speaking to Daniel. He definitely knows his stuff and he helped me choose the right bow kit for my brother. I placed the order on the Friday got confirmation on Monday that it was dispatched and on Tuesday it arrived.
My brother did not wait for his birthday and instantly opened his gift and was blown away.
I would recommend Archeryworld as Daniel was such a pleasure to speak to and the bow kit ordered was of good quality. I look forward to coming to the store when it opens and will travel from London just to check it out.
Thank you Daniel for everything, I wish the store lots of success and can’t wait to purchase more items in the near future from Archeryworld.
M. M.As someone who has done archery a few times going back years, from schools to stag do's this is something I have wanted to get into for a while - so started as a lockdown hobby. As a novice I had many questions, thing that didn't seem to make sense and too many options to consider. The team at Archery World (Dan in particular) made it really easy for me & answered all of my questions via email. The whole process was fast and smooth and I have always received my orders in a timely manner. Overall very happy with the experience and will be back again as I improve for bits & bobs!
R. C.We have had an amazing experience here at archery world. We were served by Dan who was very patient and knowledgable. The first time my wife and I went we informed Dan we were not looking to buy but were interested in buying our first kit. I had looked online for reviews on equipment before I went so had a good idea on the riser I wanted to use. Knowing we were not buying Dan still spent an incredible amount of time with us going through things we should be looking out for, things that would generally be a waste of money based on our skill level and what we should be looking for as we progress in ability. We were so impressed we ended up buying 2 kits. There is a small range to test out your equipment on so you can be happy with it before you leave (I think it is 20ft) When we had decided what we were interested in Dan took us both to shoot our gear and picked up on a small error my wife was making. Tony came out and gave some tips and Her shooting improved instantly. Thank you guys for all your time and effort to make our experience a great on. We will be coming back again to you and be recommending you to people at our club.
They deserve every single star ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
I. M.I telephone up looking for availability of a family pack. I found them to be very helpful, including them swapping out some items for improved versions at no extra cost. They put it aside for me and when I drove down to collect it, I was talked through what I was getting and shown what I needed to do.
I am just beginning in the sport but the store seemed to have a large variety of stock and the staff were very helpful, even to the level of carrying my purchases out to my car and helping me get it all in the boot.
A. J.Went today with my daughter to have a look around. Although we aren't buying anything for another 2 weeks we were measured up for bows, draw length and had a bit of coaching from the Lancashire coach. A totally positive experience. Helpful knowledgeable staff, friendly and no pressure. Good advice so will be going back in a fortnight to spend our cash...... recommended !! 🎯🏹
N. H.I have 12 months experience shooting with club equipment which served me very well over this period. I arrived at Archery World, Preston with a list of basic requirements that I would need from my club. I'd researched a little beforehand on arrows and sights and then logged on to their website and created a wishlist/basket. I'd rung the previous day and reserved a particular riser I was interested in. It was busy but worth the short wait. I was served by Dan who'd I'd spoken to the day before. He was extremely knowledgeable and with his vast experience gave me lots of advise, answered my many questions patiently and ensured I only purchased what I needed for my next step from novice to intermediate archer. I was there for 2 hours and I'd recommend that you allow plenty of time for your first kit purchase; try the bow, sight and arrows in the range and listen to the advice - particularly with regard to the weight of limbs. I wouldn't hesitate to travel the 40 miles again when I next need some help or when I upgrade my limbs . Thank you Dan.
S. Z.I mostly had a great experience here when I used to do archery. Ordering items online from them was flawless except that one time when I bought a Tru Ball release that was obviously second hand. I sometimes dry fired my bow so always brought it here to get it re-strung and they always did so on the same day. Not a very busy store.
H. B.I've been a customer of Archery World for several years now. The staff are extremely approachable and helpful and will do what they can to help with any questions or issues you may have. The shop is well stocked and there is an archery range so you can try products before you buy, have lessons with an AGB qualified coach, or you can pop along for a practise shoot.
I always use these guys for repairs and new purchases.
I. F.Have made 2 visits here so far, and both times the service has been exemplary.
On my first visit, I spoke to Dan who was happy to take time to give me advice and, considering my 'new to archery' status, didn't try to just sell me something, rather he advised me to return when I had more experience to match the enthusiasm.
I returned yesterday and again spoke to Dan. Following my first visit, I felt confident enough to return to the store to purchase my first bow, knowing I wouldn't get ripped off nor taken advantage of.
The time spent helping me to decide on the things I would and wouldn't need was immensely valuable and by the time I made a decision on the components I felt confident I had made the right purchase.
I was able to try the bow on the premises and that confidence was borne out by the feeeling that the bow, arrow, and accesories combination, felt almost bespoke in it's comfort level.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend archeryworld, and look forward to being a loyal customer for years to come.
J. k.Outstanding service . Even during such arduous social restrictions friendly & comprehensive advice was still afforded during my visit . Can't wait for the new 30m range to available , should be amazing . Keep up the good work guys
m. k.Very friendly and knowledge staff, answered the phone after just a few rings, very thorough and quick e-mail reply and support, helpful with combining separate orders to save on shipping, great range of products and as competitively priced as anywhere else, very easy to use website.
No need to go anywhere else.

L. N.Highly recommended , the team accommodated our rather diverse little group (aged between 6 and 90!) and ran us a lovely have a go session , complete with balloons , prizes and brew time! A really special moment to see our elderly group members having fun and our 6 year old is buzzing from hitting the target balloons. Thank you everyone.
N. R.Excellent, very knowledgeable and very helpful.
Re jig inside from the last time we came but still the same knowledge and help.
C. H. -. 3. O. D.I am new to archery, having being bought a Christmas present of 4 lessons. I decided to have a trawl about on the internet. I then rang two other archery suppliers before I rang Archery World and got the impression that my custom wasn't that important to them. However when I spoke to Archery World I received some really good practical advice over the phone and bought a decent bow. This arrived really quickly. I cant fault the customer service and delivery service and will use Archery World again when I decide to upgrade
O. D.GENUINELY one of the best stores I've been too.....From the service to the goods as well as the appearance and functionality of the shop are amazingly awesome! The quality of service and deals I received were unbeatable.Thank you very much for the Hoyt set that I cycled very far for :)Oli.
A. F.Fantastic place! We mithered the poor guys, but they put up with us very Well! The prices are great too, we went for a couple of arm guards, gloves and a quiver and came out with everything we wanted, plus 3 compound bows!! Lovely gentleman, very helpful, lots of useful advice, we will definitely be going back!
B. S.Having progressed from my clubs bows, I was recommended to Archery World. Last week I was kitted out by Paul, who was very patient, helpful and knowledgeable. The staff are archers themselves and are very keen and interested in their work and pastime. I was given as long as I like to practice. Great service.
l.I went to archery world yesterday and was their about 3 hours! Absolutely lovely staff and very friendly. I was served by Paul and I bought some new arrows. I was also interested in purchasing a new bow to which Paul allowed me to practice with variety of different bows (flat bows) in their indoor demonstration range for about an hour.
Definitely recommend Archery World!
M. S.Great place for beginner to advanced. We knew knitting of archery and the assistant was really helpful and got my daughter kitted out with a bow so she can do foot archery. Very reasonable prices too.
T. K.First time I have used Archery World will certainly use them again ordered targets, release aid and back stop netting. 11am Mon was here next day at 4pm. Very pleased and thanks for the gift voucher.
D. W.Like similar posts here i recently joined a archery club and was recommended to come here as one of the clubs suppliers.
I was served by dan to get my first bow set wasnt sure on going for 28 or 26 poundage but after shooting both on there indoor range was clear to me that 26 was better but with my draw i was around 28 pound anyway so confident I'd be hitting 40yrds which is what i am working on at the club currently.
I bought a decent riser so I'll be able to accommodate for some upgraded limbs when the time is right. All in all great service from start to finish. They're clearly knowledgeable and have sets for beginners to more experienced people who may want individual pieces. Travelled 1.5hrs from stoke but definitely worth the journey. It's a satisfying feeling to know I've got a go to shop now for all my archery needs.
I also want to buy a compound bow and probably give barebow a go too , so I'll be back!!!
Cheers
Daniel
m. s.I'm having Archery lessons here very good teacher.
The store offers great down to earth advice on buying and using Archery equipment-- great choice of bows and accessories.
Have a look sometime soon.
l. l.Fantastic shop. Had read reviews, about the lovely staff, and that's what they are!
A. G.I went for my first set of equipment after using club equipment for several months.
I came away very happy with everything I needed, personalised to me. Friendly, welcoming and knowledgable staff.
Definitely recommended.
I. G.I have heard numerous poor reviews of Archery World from members of my local club. However, I have now used them twice for online ordering of archery equipment, and been very satisfied with the service. The first order, some 12 months ago now, was one of the cheapest prices around, and delivered promptly.
This week, I e-mailed them to check a stock level - I wanted a riser that was out of stock in most online stores - and a guy called Ryan explained that he was sure they had it in their Preston store, but it was closed, and promised to e-mail me back the next morning after 9am. I received an e-mail at 9.15am the next morning informing me it was in stock, and it was dispatched by FedEx later that day.
This is a contrast to some other online archery sites, where they falsely state that items are in stock, take many days to respond to enquiries, and have long delays in processing and dispatching goods.
My experience was very positive; I would certainly recommend for online ordering.
I. H.Ordered some Arrows and other bits from Archery World, and Dan was very helpful to make sure I had the arrows I need. Delivery was very quick too!
D. H.Everything Archery. Very helpful and knowledgeable staff who very friendly. Great practice range to try out your new bow. Well worth a visit
M. H.The staff were extreamly helpful. Gave excellent and knowlegable advise. Nothing was to much trouble.
L. f.As they were renovating the store there were no prices on many of the items but going back when we are next in Blackpool so hopefully will be priced then the stars will go up as it was a really good store.
J. D.ArcheryWorld supplied me with a great junior compound bow for my nephew, the timing had been set just right and was an absolutely brilliant recommendation.
I will definitely be using ArcheryWorld again when I need some more supplies.
J. B.Nice friendly helpful people,good range of stock, and can order anything you need, 30m range.
c. c.First time I've been today it was perfect best service and no pressure and very very helpful I will be back again soon for compound bow and recuve bow for the misses.
Can't wait to return
