GP has an awesome bow range, I really loved going to shoot 3d out there during the summer. As far as lessons go, not too sure on that one. I don't think the pro shops will be a ton of help, but they can offer you pointers to help you on your way if you hit a roadblock. I've found that most guys at the GP range are willing to help if you have questions, don't hesitate to ask if you have some. I'm thinking your best bet would be to find out when they have their league night, and go then. There will be alot of experienced shooters there, and I'm sure most, if not all, wouldn't hesitate to try and help a beginner. I know I had lots of help when I started going there, and I always tried to do the same for others when they had questions. Hope that helps you out...
