Artemis Shooting Sports

[TopShot]

Anyone shoot at Artemis lately, any good ?
I visited there when it first opened as Blueline.
Ben the former owner was asking ridiculous prices for range memberships.
I remember he wanted $5,000 for a lifetime membership, I hope no one got in on that.
He was such a SOB that I was so turned off to both the range and the store.
I have never been in since.

They started hosting USPSA matches so I've been there a few times in the past year. Same range and I think prices are more reasonable but I really didn't pay attention to the rates.

Thanks, I checked their website and they get $30 an hour for walk ins.
On Tuesday over 60 is half price.
I'll have to stop by tomorrow and check it out.

I wasn't impressed when it was Blue Line. Not with the counter people or the range officers. Absolutely terrible attitudes. All of them were gods gift to shooting in there own minds. The arrogance was palatable. It wasn't the place to bring or introduce someone to the shooting sports for sure. I have no experience with the new management other than I did attend the new required CCW course and I knew the instructor who was renting the classroom. I found the range officer onsite to be professional and not intimidating with my friend who was completely new to shooting during their required range time.

It's about 35 bucks to shoot there but it seems to be a decent range. Who cares about the attitude on the RO and staff, if they leave me alone I leave them alone.

friend and I go there once or twice a month. SIG and Henry authorized dealers. Range is fine and Range & counter people are cool. No complaints.

Artemis Shooting Sports - What a surprise !
I stopped by yesterday afternoon to check it out.
I haven't been there since it first opened as Blue Line 10 years ago.
The staff was very knowledgeable and acted in a professional manor.
I met a very pleasant senior employee, instructor and RSO named Cory.
After talking to him for a while he gave me a tour of the store and range.
The store was well stocked with guns and accessories.
Range was clean and adequate for my needs.
The range prices are a little steep, but they have discounted days during the week, Mil., LE, Fire, EMS, Seniors, etc.
Since is not far from where I live, this may be my new go to for shooting during the winter.

Never had a good experience with either owners. I remember bluelines life time membership that was comical. Last time i was in there they gave me a really hard time doing a gun transfer and they wouldn't let me handle a pocket knife because im not law enforcement lol

There's always Pioneer in Yonkers. That place has its charm.

Thanks, I know the owners at RT Smoke N Gun (Pioneer Shooting Center).
That's where I do my ammo transfers.
Unfortunately, they are in not a nice area of Mt. Vernon.
Not that I'm worried going back and forth to my car while carrying, but I am worried that I will have no car to return to.

Pioneer is in Mt. Vernon. Coyne Park is in Yonkers.

Pioneer is in Mt. Vernon. Coyne Park is in Yonkers.

Yes, unfortunately Pioneer is expensive for what it is and Coyne according to their website will not reopen until May.

Yonkers, Mt Vernon - it all blends


Although FWIW Coyne Park does not have any charm in my opinion. Very expensive for a municipal range stuck in a time machine from 1963.
