When I first started shooting a half a dozen years ago, I took a competitive shooter class where I only had a Ruger 22. The instructor let me try his Atlas, and it was almost like I was shooting a video game. I tell everyone to NEVER shoot and Atlas…unless you are prepared to covet one!

I have an Athena, but the Artemis is in the queue! I like more of the properties of the Artemis. If I had done more research it probably would have been my first purchase. Their customer service is OUTSTANDING! Morgan probably is the first person that you contact. She is praiseworthy, which is well deserved, this, by no means, diminishes the team working with her. They are great! FWIW, I like the name Artemis for the same reason that you don't like it. It was one of my favorite shows way back in the day! Thank you for this review! ;-D

I bought mine more for HD and SD so I'm okay with the 4lb triggers but after coming from Glocks and Sigs these things feel like cheating. I couldn't imagine shooting an Infinity, Atlas, etc. though. Those are just another level. Congrats on the purchase and good luck with future matches.

I tried to buy a SVI/Infinity. Drove from Houston to their place near Dallas, and enjoyed a nice walk around the shop, placed an order for a $6K pistol, and was given a delivery date. Fast forward to ~3 weeks past my delivery date, with no word from SVI, since my order was placed. Called to check on a new ETA, and was surprised to be spoken to as if I was an annoyance. The guy actually said "Do you want the pistol or not?", when all I asked was when was the new lead time. My answer: "You can keep the damn thing, if that's how you speak to a customer. I can only imagine trying to work out a warranty issue, if that's how they reacted to my asking for a new delivery date.

I’m curious how you figure out holds with a pistol out at 100y plus?
@XRING3 жыл бұрын
At 100 you really don't even need to do anything differently if your pistol is zeroed at 25 yards. It does take a steady hand but just favor the shoulders instead of center mass. the slightest bit of anticipation or sloppy trigger press will show itself 10 fold! At the longer distance like 2,3 and 4 hundred yards you will have to hold CONSIDERABLY higher. The more you do it the easier it gets. I have been doing these shot for a long time. Even before I started the channel there was a video of me shooing a Glock 32 at 417 yards on 14 inch steels. If you get close with the first one you can usually make a second shot correction. Great question by the way 👍. Have a Merry Christmas.

Artemis was the goddess of chastity, hunting, and the moon. She taught men how to hunt and shoot bows. Like all the Greek Olympic gods, Artemis was immortal and very powerful. Her special powers included perfect aim with the bow and arrow, the ability to turn herself and others into animals, healing, disease, and control of nature. Artemis' Vengeance For seeing the maiden goddess in complete nudity, Actaeon was punished by Artemis. She turned the hunter into a stag, and subsequently, he was pursued and killed by his own hunting dogs. This myth is an example of Artemis' protection of sacred chastity.
