In the 1970's, I took a short tour, of the Benjamin factory in St. Louis, and soon thereafter, my first airgun was a Benjamin.
A few years later, and tempted with more power, I owned a few Daisy and Crosman products.
In the 1990's, I discovered pcp's, and it was Air Arms, FX, Evanix, and eventually .... another Benjamin (Discovery).
Somehow, I went full circle, without ever hearing about, seeing, or experiencing a Artemis or Snow Peak airgun.
Recently, I purchased my very first Snow Peak product, the (Umarex) Zelos, and absolutely love it!
So I began researching Snow Peaks history.
Apparently, they have been in business since 1958, and producing airguns since 1976.
48 years!
They also produce pellets, compressors, and a variety of camping equipment as well.
There seems to be very little information about the company, and the airguns that they have produced over the last 48 years.
The "Blue Book of Airguns" fails to even mention Artemis or Snow Peak.
The internet is not very telling either.
The few "Snow Peak Factory Tour" videos I found on YouTube, were not air gun related. and geared more toward the camping equipment that they produce,
I did find 1 decent article by Hard Air magazine, that states that Snow Peak manufactures over 1 million airguns a year!
Im courious if anyone has any additional information about the Snow Peak factory, long history, or the 1 million airguns per year, that they produce?
