Jim Cox Adventures

This place is awesome. They really take the time to get you situated with your bow. My kids go to the class on Saturdays and they love it.

Great experience!!! I used to shoot compound bows 15 years ago and now getting back into it. Did some research and was interested in a Bowtech bow.
Jim was VERY helpful, adjusting various bows for me to try and after shooting arrow after arrow, I chose my bow and arrows and am very happy with my purchase. I got a Bowtech Carbon Overdrive which has turned out to be a perfect purchase!!!
This shop is an informal, friendly and relaxing shop. I even got some free pointers from an instructor there that was very helpful.
The only minus and I’m not even taking off points from it are that the bow was not well tuned. I.e. the cam timing was off and when I asked Jim about it, the attitude was that it was good enough. I can see his point as I was shooting pretty well with it. But still, I’m a bit of a technical perfectionist and will be purchasing the necessary equipment to tune my own bow. That would include adjusting the cam timing, tiller adjustment and new nock level that would be correct for the bow.

Amazing service, bought my bow from him and he helped me so much picking out everything I would need showed me all the basics and had me shooting in no time great selection and really try and get what fits you best. Can’t say enough good things about this shop. If you are in the market you owe it to yourself to stop by. Beginner or lifetime shooter he can help.

Best archery shop in California if not the world. Best selection. Best service. He opened on a day off. Jim is awesome. Helped me and a friend on his day off. I will recommend all my friends come here. Thanks Jim.

Just went the other day to check out the shop… it’s small but full of awesome archery items. Jim showed my wife and myself the range, gave us information, and took the time to answer our questions. We’ll be going back again this weekend for the classes they have…$ 10 an hour! That’s a super deal… especially considering they furnish all the equipment for you! Can’t wait to go back.
***Update***
We went to the classes… learned a lot, and the instructor was very knowledgeable. We arrived late, but they were accomodating and understanding. Can’t wait to go back :)

Wasn’t sure what to expect walking into an archery shop in Salinas…
I must say prepare to be impressed! Jim is EXTREMELY knowledgeable about all things in archery! He’s generous with his knowledge and time. Took my husband into the back range and had us shoot for a couple hours for nothing! My hubby just purchased a bow and joined the club for the range off Crazy Horse!
Can’t brag enough about this place!!!

Wonderfully helpful staff, very knowledgable and personable.
Lessons are $ 10 for two hours on Saturdays… crazy cheap! And you don’t even have to bring your own gear. They don’t have the largest selection in the world, but that’s what catalogues are for.
