Great archery range. Intro class must be taken before you rent a lane for 16 an hour plus equipment rental adds another 15 an hour on top.I took intro class long ago for 35.So the price does add up if you decide to stay long.I advise you ask for help because the bows will need to have some sight adjustment if you are having trouble hitting the target. Ask them for a form check and you will be fine.Covid policy are enforced. There is a plastic drape that separates shooters between lanes. Lots of sanitizer all around. Clean bathroom and space to sit. It does get crowded, keep that in mind.Had a great experience, very friendly staff.There are cheaper places to tune your bow there. So that I wont recommend.

My fiancé and I booked an introductory class on a whim, and were so glad we did! Our instructor (Clifton) was fantastic, and did a great job walking us through everything we needed to know to shoot safely. We had plenty of time to practice, and he gave us lots of personal coaching/advice throughout the hour. We definitely improved! We had so much fun – well be back for sure.

Attended an intro archery class with my coworkers and had a wonderful time! The staff members here are super friendly and make safety a number 1 priority. They teach you proper stance, how to aim, and are super supportive and encouraging as you learn. You get lots of practice time and theres a fun competition at the end. I wont spoil too many details, but Ill just say popping balloons with arrows is very fun!

Great Archery near Chinatown. You will need to attend a $40 introductory class before you start the regular session. 16/hr for regular shooting.

This an addictive sport and Gotham is the perfect place to feed that addiction. I usually go to the Manhattan location as its closer. Its much smaller than Brooklyn and doesnt have a pro-shop, but if 15 yards is okay for your distance, then its a great range with an excellent staff that are always there to help and improve your technique. Gotham is the perfect spot to go with friends, reserve for a party, or drop by on ones own to shoot for an hour or two. With so much of old New York sadly disappearing, Gotham in LES is a great new addition! (... oh, they teach knife and axe throwing as well.)

A hidden gym of NYC... literally. On the second floor of a building, would have had no idea it excited. Amazing spot for a date night or company party. We took the intro to archery class. The instructor was very patient and kind and walked us through the process step by step. It could be a little intimidating at first but you will eventually get the hang of it.

Torn by how to rate a place with two locations on opposite ends of the spectrum of service.Brooklyn is amazing, welcoming, and spacious. A little far, which is why I went to the Manhattan location for my next vist. TheManhattan location is nice, but oddly suffers from overcrowding. Not from customers crowding the lanes, but no less than four staff members hanging out. While I shot for under my allotted hour, I was privy to chatting about weddings, upcoming dates, just how great everyone is on bare bow.I stayed because I paid for the hour, I left early because just when one staff noticed it getting crowded, they left, only to be replaced by another.To be clear, having fun at work is a rare commodity and I imagine working at a range IS fun. But why not use the empty lounge for talks about new protein shakes, instead of the sliver of safety behind an archery range.Thank you fellow customer who called retrieve when our stewards were occupied and Thank you Brooklyn for being why Ill come back.

The guy who led the intro to archery class was incredible! He was so supportive! He would scream encouragement when people hit the target and he would come up to each person and help them perfect how they were shooting even more. I had never done archery before and was terrified after he went over all the precautions, but with his encouragement I was actually hitting the within the target rings by the end! His energy, humor, and the music selected were all incredible! This is a really fun place and you can keep your paper target at the end. I highly recommend this place. My boyfriend and I loved our experience there.

Love this place and the Brooklyn location. The staff are super nice and chill and I usually have no problems getting a lane. In addition to archery, they also offer axe and knife throwing classes which are a blast. The Chinatown location is also great if you want to finish off the visit with some fantastic chow in the neighborhood.

Ive been going to Gotham for years. I started in Brooklyn but Allen Street is much more convenient for me since I work in Manhattan. The staff is the best part about this place. They are knowledgable, always incredibly kind and happy to help, and have a great sense of humor which is essential when you miss fire and lodge your arrow in the back wall.The equipment is great and the facility, for being in such a small area, is laid out well. I always recommend calling ahead and booking a lane but they are as accommodating as they can be if you just drop in.

I did the introductory course for archery and also for knife/axe throwing. Last night I rented a lane for an hour and shot at my target at 10 yards, most of the time. Im getting better I think(?) Steven, thank you for providing advice as to what I did wrong with my form. Apparently I tense up a lot. Oof, gotta relax these muscles! Shout out to Jessica for being awesome. You make me laugh, girl. I will be back next time to do archery again.
