Griffin & Howe Shooting School

Founded in 1923, Griffin & Howe operates on the grounds of Hudson Farm in Hopatcong, New Jersey. They've spent a century building a reputation around precision shooting, custom firearms, and expert gunsmithing—not by cutting corners, but by doing the work right.

They run a full shooting academy with certified instructors offering:

• •Rifle instruction
• •Shotgun instruction
• •Handgun instruction
• •Archery instruction
• •Fly fishing instruction
• •Youth programs
• •Law enforcement firearms training sponsorship

Training is tailored to your level, whether you're starting from scratch or refining existing skills.

This is where the craftsmanship shows. Their gunsmiths handle:

• •Rifle accurizing
• •Custom rifles built to order
• •Custom gun stocks and stock refinishing
• •Gunstock checkering
• •Firearm restoration services
• •Bluing and metal refinishing
• •Scope mounts and recoil pads
• •Custom engraving
• •Custom 1911 handgun grips

"We don't just sell firearms; we craft legacies, enhance skills, and celebrate the artistry of firearms."

Griffin & Howe manufactures their own rifle line including the Criterion Rifle, Classic Sporter, All American, and Highlander models. They also carry established brands and offer custom rifle rings and mounts.

Beyond the range and shop, they coordinate premium hunting experiences through partnerships with Crane Safaris, David Denies Bird Hunting, Spain safaris, New Zealand hunts, and Red Stag Patagonia operations.

They host regular events including the Griffin & Howe 3D Archery Classic, engraving classes, corporate events, and charity functions. The facility also features a gundogs program and retail store with apparel, accessories, and gifts.
