Q: What is the policy on the range? do you have to make a reservation? what is the required age for a child to be allowed to shoot? do you need to take any safety courses beforehand? Thank you in advance
A: Hello Nicholas, unless you have purchased something in advance, it is first come, first served. Minimum age without parent present is 18, minimum with parent is 12. All rental packages are per person and include the rifle, eye and ear protection,targets , ammunition and basic instruction, including a safety orientation. If you are thinking about handguns, New York requires a New York handgun license to handle handguns. I hope this answers your questions. Joe

Went with my partner for ValentineΓÇÖs Day with a Groupon; had a great experience. The woman who handles the check-in was enjoyable. The shooting instructors Piere & Alan were awesome and knowledgeable. Everyone knew how to make the experience one to remember! 11/10 will DEFINITELY recommend this place

Such a great experience at this range! Complete professionalism and courtesy from start to finish. The woman behind the desk whose name I didnΓÇÖt get was extremely cordial and informative. Charles (Mr. Blue) was probably the best part of this place. He was knowledgeable and provided educational and safety support throughout our time there! We will definitely be back!

Dont do it, just don't, go to New Jersey. they are racist and if your young and color like Mr the older instructor will aggressively approach you with due to a assumption of safety even when u follow the rules. The staff will blame you and ban u after reporting the range staff. My advice, go to NJ gun ranges they are more respectful and open towards colored people and won't agress you with racial intentions. I learn that the hard way going there few years ago.

Quite a commute. This place sits in a solitary village near Yonkers which took me about an hour to get through with traffic and has street meter parking only. The range is connected to the shop upstairs where you can buy guns of all shapes and sizes at your disposal albeit pending the background check done on every customer and the waivers signed regarding safety laws and precautions. Probably one of the safest places to be because of the high security measures in place like guards, cameras, bulletproof glass, bell assigned doorbell entry gates, etc. The exterior looks a bit outdated and abandoned like but the basement is where the real work is done. The range is pretty compact but comes with about 10 staff members all etching to help and retain their own respective roles. The wait time is anywhere from 5-15 minutes and its on a first come first serve basis so timing is everything. They give you the headset which is big enough to fit glasses if you use them like me and a headset which basically covers you from the loud noises dealt by the guns. It doesnΓÇÖt muffle the sound all the way but it will be way less ear damaging. I got a groupon for $65 which gave me an hour of range time along with a safety course taught by the instructor how to safe handle a firearm and about 50 bullets. The targets are controlled manually by a switch panel on the right and their are about 5 lone sections each designed the same way and same amount of space so more then 1 person can go at a time. The shooting range goes from 10 to 40 feet and the bullet shell casings are cleaned up by the staff so you can spend more time focusing on accuracy and trajectory. I really did enjoy this experience and I think you would as well.

Pioneer Shooting Range is legit! The staff is super chill and really on top of things. The lane rental prices are solid, and they get you shooting pretty fast, which is awesome. ItΓÇÖs about an hour drive from Manhattan, but totally worth the trip. If youΓÇÖre into shooting or just want to try it out, this place is a must! Everyone shoots

My family just LOVES pioneer! They make all paperwork, etc. so simple. Their instructors / gun safety rangers are incredible. Shout out to Anthony and Mr Blue for a great session. Easy to follow instructions, fun, and pushed us to do better and better. Brought my mom for the first time in her life and she just had the best day. Thanks Pioneer! WeΓÇÖll see you soon!

I thought this place was a little sketchy at first but it turned out to be a great experience I had to wait a couple of minutes to get buzzed in and then you head downstairs and I had to wait a couple more minutes for somebody to come to the front desk but once I was able to get in they were able to squeeze in some time for me to get on the Range the instructors are great very attentive and take their time with you if you never shot a pistol before this is a great place to start other than the check-in process it was a great experience would recommend.
