I first became aware of Hot Spot Airsoft by watching their YouTube videos, showcasing their various…read moreproducts. Irritant/Kinetic co2 launchers (stock & modified), parts, accessories, co2 and more, Hot Spot Airsoft has everything needed for the hobby. Acquiring a Mercury Rise Intrubuster Gen 2 this past March, an extended barrel was on my list for parts to purchase for it. The only option available was from another YouTube content creator, with a premium price attached to it. Waiting till hopefully more options became available, Claudio at Hot Spot Airsoft, posted videos on his prototype barrel extensions for the Intrubuster Gen 2, which he 3D prints individually and were testing for upcoming rollout. After a few videos, he finalized the design, a 10" & 6", and gave an introductory price for the first 50 customers, which was almost half the cost of what the other YouTube content creator's barrel extensions were. I quickly jumped on the early bird promo, and soon had my 10" barrel extension in my possession. The 10" barrel extension is simple to install, and my Intrubuster Gen 2 has now had a devastating power boost. I'm quite happy with my purchase, especially when utilizing the promo for the first 50 customers. Unfortunately, Hot Spot Airsoft's physical store for 30 years caught fire and has been permanently closed. Fortunately, however, they still do website & phone sales. Email communication has been met with quick responses. I chose UPS for shipping, and the shipping time was about a week. If you're looking to get into the airsoft/co2 launcher hobby, Hot Spot Airsoft has got you covered. They have great prices on stock and modified launchers, along with everything else needed. I'm looking forward to see what Claudio comes up with next for the Intrubuster Gen 2, and would happily do business with them, again. Highly recommend!

I have been a marksman for over 50 years, having experience with everything from pellet and BB guns…read moreto pistols, revolvers, rifles and shotguns; and won many trophies in tournaments. A short time back I purchased an "upgraded" Umarex TRS 68 from Hot Spot Airsoft. The first time I tried it out - I applied an Umarex C02 into the handle - I then put it into a secure case so I could set up a target. 2 minutes after placing the TRS into the case - I heard it either fire on it's own or blow a seal somewhere or both, without anyone touching it and it had never been fired by me before. When I contacted Claudio, his exact words were that this was "IMPOSSIBLE" and that he performed the work and tested every item before it left the store. I now find this very difficult to believe. Claudio instructed me to ship the TRS 68 to him (at my cost) and that he would inspect it and let me know what could be done. A short time later, Claudio contacted me back and told me that for a fee, he would repair the item and ship it back to me. Claudio let me know for around $70.00 he would repair the TRS 68. When I received the TRS 68, I attempted to insert an Umarex CO2 into the handle and twist the piercing cap. Now, the piercing cap will not pierce the CO2 at all. I tried several times - with different but new Umarex CO2 cartridges without success. When I emailed him about this final failure - he actually had the nerve to tell me that I must have inserted the CO2 upside down. Really? I now have invested around $500.00 into this paperweight - which is now useless. Do not trust the owner of Hot Spot Airsoft - as I discovered he performs shoddy repairs and will never admit to his mistakes. Claudio upgraded the TRS68 and then "repaired" it and it still failed. You know how the old saying goes "fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me." Buy a new airsoft from a legitimate company or the manufacturer, that has not been tampered with by an unqualified operator.

Do not go to this place…read more I called to make an appointment, told him around 5-5:30, he said he'll put me down for 5. I said ok, but will there be a penalty if I show up late cause there's a chance I may be 10-15 mins late. He responded verbatim "well do you want the 5 o'clock or not?" At that point I should have called it off but I gave him the benefit of the doubt. We get there and it's a narrow stairway that leads down to a creepy little basement. As soon as we walked in the guy behind the desk gave off a big sigh. Didn't say a word just poked at his iPad while we waited awkwardly in silence for 2-3 mins. So I decided to leave, I said I'm sorry but I changed my mind, we gonna head out. He raised his voice and screamed "what do you mean you changed your mind?" I told him straight up you're hella rude, you were rude on the phone and you rude now. You didn't even greet us when we walked in. I get a text later saying I'm ban from future events they host. Like I would even go lol As you can see from his reply he has no remorse for the way he treats his customers. I'm sorry I wasted your time you could have been helping all your total of 0 customers in the place.

First of all, their programs for kids to learn and play tennis are FREE. You don't even need to buy a racquet. Second of all, during the warm months, they usually have more than 60 locations all over NYC (depending on the funding), so there is bound to be a location in your neighborhood. Third, they have State-Certified guidance counselors with Masters degrees on staff to help kids in the program to choose the right high school or a college for them, or help students if they have trouble in school, or with filling out all sorts of applications for colleges or scholarships.

Hidden Gems Archery...you have not failed this Yelper…read more I know 3 stars looks bad, but it's not. I just wanted to set the record straight because I have had business owners in the past message me all upset and whatnot. If you've never taken archery lessons before, swing through...this place was A-OK. I thought I was going to have to add the listing to Yelp, but someone did 9 hours prior...small world. And they also used a Groupon. I was originally going to go to the Staten Island based Groupon archery offering since it was 1/2 as much, but since I would have had to pay the toll to get to S.I, I figured it evened out. For 30 minutes, me and the one other guy taking the intro course learned about the methods and safety of archery. And then we put arrows into things for a little under an hour. We got about 4 rounds in I believe and were alternating on the 4 target course (narrow room on the second floor of some building) with a family of 4 who were obviously members and obviously practiced...they were on some Katniss and Legolas type ish. I feel confident picking up a bow and arrow now. Learned a lot from Q and Tyler. Q provided the archery lecture and it felt like a James Bond movie...you know when Q explains the gadgets to Bond. Except our Q was a woman. With a 99.9% safety rating. Ask her where that .1% went. I went to the 12 PM lesson on a weekday and I think the preceding lessons were packed or so I overheard. So I'm glad I chose the first lesson. It's why I chose the first lesson. Next up, fencing! And then ninjitsu.

Sadly I missed the Yelp event, but I did come here for my friend's birthday party recently. We were…read morea large group (at least 20), and the instructors did a nice job staggering our group with safety instructions and prep while a set of tots were taking aim at the targets. Overall, it was a cool experience. We were buddied up and I paired with my friend, who immediately pigeonholed himself as troublemaker/class clown. He got some special attention from the staff and I received a couple of demerits for not following instructions (I'm oblivious, not insubordinate). Yes, friends, I had two of my arrows removed from my quiver at one point, but I couldn't really blame them as I had ample warning. Once I earned my way back into good standing, the arrows were returned. Shooting was fun and pretty straightforward after a few tries. My only criticism is that they should spend a little less time on the prep and let us loose sooner with the bows (time flies pretty quickly when you're shooting arrows). But I get why they over-prepare with the safety lessons.

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.
