The friend of my friend had some last minute scheduling problems, and they accommodated us very promptly. Keep in mind that this was still two days in advance. Both of the times that I went the instructors were very helpful and informative. There were lots of moments to chuckle at little jokes they made to lighten the mood and help people relax. They had games at the end of each training. As we shot the trainers assessed our performance only to help make slight adjustments that always made improvements.

Awesome staff, fun activity, great spot. If it's your first time, you get to do a super-fun introductory class (that's accessible to everyone of all ages and levels of athleticism - including "basically none") that teaches you the basics while also keeping it really entertaining with mini-competitions and such. Definitely a great group activity to try out with friends / family. After doing the intro lesson, you're free to sign up any time afterwards for your own private lane to practice in for 1-2 hours or so (bumping you up from a 5-yard distance from your target to a 10-yard one) - and the staff will keep checking in on you and giving you pointers and suggestions to improve your game. Speaking of which, they're all super friendly and knowledgeable - Nas, Ace, Simon and the rest, all great guys with lots of patience and sunny dispositions. It's roughly $35 for 1 hour of use of the space and to rent out a bow and some arrows (and the extra coaching is free) - a very reasonable deal in NYC. My wife and I have been coming back at least twice a month since the Winter and we've had a blast every visit. Super fun to watch yourself progress and get more and more accurate too. And as an added bonus, it's smack dab in the middle of Chinatown - tons of great spots to eat at around here, after an hour of archery. Would absolutely recommend to anyone visiting or living here.

COUSINS STATEN ISLAND…read more Place opens at 9 I rolled up around 930. Saw 2 cars and 4 pre teens waiting with a dad. All I could think was "This is gunna suck".  I get dressed and loaded up, headed to the sign in. All day play was $30 and 2000 paintballs for $65, I was reluctant to pay because of who I saw outside but I said fuck it, I'm already out here let's roll. I got my gear and went to the Rec area. It was a decent size and 3 refs were already prepping 3 separate private parties, the Walk On's as we were called were huddled into the tented corner of the Rec area, seasoned Ballers know to find the shade immediately. I went over and said hi to 5 people. 4 of which were veteran of the game and one first timer. His name was Rob aka Pancho and he had a pump gun along with a Luxe 2.0($1,600). We were put right into a 3v3 game with the first timer on the opposite team. This is where I felt like a complete dick and I blame the paintball fields we've been to for it. I wasn't truly aware of the power that the Empire Axe has, I had the gun on ramping and I lit the guy up in the back with about 10 shots on honest mistake. He was highly upset that I had ramping on in a 3v3 especially against a First timer. I couldn't apologize enough. Because of how shitty skirmish has been, aggressive play was my only mind set. Throughout the day I saw Seasoned Ballers recognize their situations of WHO they were playing against and the DISCIPLINE they used because of the skillset they were playing. I met another kid named Keith, 17 years old. I saw an opportunity for him to destroy some kids bunkered down. I urged him to attack and he said "I know I can get them,  but I want them to have fun for a little bit." I realized then that I was playing at a field that was not only fun but respectfully passionate about the game. It sucks that I came off as a dick right off the bat but as time went on I was becoming accepted into the fold. The refs are FANTASTIC. They thoroughly made teams fair CONSTANTLY. Mixing and matching Rental/mechanical markers which electro markers to make every game fair and wow, what a difference. As time went on people started piling in. By Noon, there had to be 40+ walk on players ready to play paintball, it was a beautiful sight. Majority of the players were NOT new and exercised the same discipline and friendly atmosphere without making the games boring. Every match I played in was fun and challenging. The fields are quite decent. Some maps were small but others were of good size. The cover is a challenge. Lots of pallets and downed tree brush, but I like that in woodsball. Lots of terrain deflation made for interesting hill cover. Refs CHECK for ball breaks like surgeons. Recognize splatter and real breaks. Calling for paint checks was never and issue. It was an amazing paintball experience.  I left at 130pm and guys were still COMING IN to play. When I left I said goodbye to all the walk ons and all the players I played with cordially said their farewells, get home safes, and pleasure playing with yous. I shot about 1000 paintballs today and that's not like me. I was REALLY into these games. And I can bring the other thousand next time, they wont try to jam me up for different colored balls like Skirmish. Going to ABC Paintball, Top Gun Paintball and now Cousins Paintball has solidified for me that Skirmish is a gold mine that's a huge gimmick. They charge people $160 to have their pictures taken in front of a fake ass tank and run around NOT paintballing but just WREAKING HAVOC. I have no interest in going to Skirmish probably ever again. 2 hours away for terrible and overpriced paint and refs that sit there and do nothing, I'll be at Cousin's next week.
