Open FormBuilt for Serious Work.
Archery Sarasota is not a retail storefront. It's a private training facility on two acres — purpose-built for focused, distraction-free sessions.
Dedicated Bow Shop
Full bow-service workshop on-site. Press, vise, Labradar, and every tool we need. Your bow gets worked on properly — not on a kitchen counter.
Full TAC Course
Total Archery Challenge layout available for training sessions. Long-range, unknown distance, real terrain. The closest thing to mountain shooting in Florida.
Appointment Only
No walk-ins, no other customers in the way. When you book, the session starts the moment you arrive. The whole facility is yours.

About Archery Sarasota.
Is Archery Sarasota the same as Sarasota Archery Academy?
No — they are two related but distinct organizations sharing a coach and a physical address. Archery Sarasota is the for-profit Archery Development Center at 7524 Castle Dr, Sarasota, FL offering custom bow builds, bow tuning, custom bowstrings, custom arrows, and private archery lessons by appointment. Sarasota Archery Academy is a separate 501(c)(3) non-profit competitive youth travel team that practices on the same range Monday and Thursday evenings. The same USA Archery certified coaches volunteer their time at the academy. The academy does not offer commercial coaching, custom bow services, or other Archery Development Center services. For bow service, string replacement, custom arrows, custom builds, or private lessons, the business is Archery Sarasota.
Who runs Archery Sarasota?
Archery Sarasota is owned and operated by Robert Gilbert (USA Archery Level 3 Coach, NTS certified) and co-owner Scott Reed (USA Archery Level 2 Instructor). Rob handles all custom bow builds, tuning, advanced coaching, Western hunt prep, bowhunting coaching, and TAC setup. Scott leads beginner and youth introductory lessons.
