[Integraholic]

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet.

 

[garlic_b]

Awesome! Anticipated opening date?

 

[chezuki]

All I can say is PLEASE don't skimp on ventilation!!!! That is, IMO, the biggest turn off for indoor ranges.

Guys this is a baby that was just born. I know lots of questions come to mind, but the ink is still drying on the closing of the building.

I am sure Greg will chime in after things calm down, but right now what he could probably use is lots and lots of input about what you guys want to see, not what he already has planned.

Now is the time to lobby him via this thread!!!

1. Put them out of business by doubling their projected building!

2. Hire me as partner. But don't expect me to front money or time.

3. ???

4. PROFIT!

I'll volunteer to help all I can. It should be a roaring success in the future. I was sorry we lost the "Gun Room" years ago, remember Gary Reed?

10mm, when you care enough to send the very best.

The attributes I would most like to see in a gunshop/indoor range would be:

1. Well-lit range, Don's and Pops feel like you're shooting in a cave.
2. A great sound barrier between the range and the rest of the shop.
3. Above adequate ventilation for the range.
4. Reasonable rates.
5. No restrictions on ammunition to be used on the range (within reason, unless it's a ban on AP rounds and such)
6. That the range be well-supervised, but not to an outrageous extent.

It wouldn't make much sense for me to frequent an indoor range during the warm months because MCFG is less than a mile from my house, but in the cold months....man.....

Good luck with this guys, I can't wait to see the magic happen.

I had a charter membership to the Gun Room

The most successful indoor ranges I have seen happen to be in VA and TX. I would be talking to owners there who have BTDT but allowing clubs to shoot IDPA etc and have moving courses of fire will bring a lot of shooters. Especially south of Hwy 70. That alone would bring me in.

Moving targets

Ability to sight in rifles and pattern shotguns (seems to be on the menu already)

Friendly to new shooters who come to train and practice. Good relationship with independent trainers and professionals in the industry.

Small classroom / conference room area for training, club meetings and obvious uses. Not long ago some INGO members were looking for a place to meet to discuss and practice knife sharpening.


I have always said if I won the lottery I would build a big indoor range on the Southside. I think it could be a good move.

PS Appetizers and WiFi

PPS machine gun rentals will bring in tourists and race fans. Look what it does in Nevada for shops there.

 

[misconfig]

Holy CRAP, this means I can go shoot on lunch break!

 

[Deadly Z Driver]

This is freaking awesome!

 

[SirRealism]

Two words: coffee and donuts.

No, scratch that. I'd never leave, and my business would fail. Do NOT offer coffee and donuts.

 

[Boilers]

Google Maps fails me.
What is this next to? Intersection?
This white building?

[SharkyZiff]

CONGRATS!!!

Looks like I will be driving to the Southside...

 

[NealWright]

Awesome! I'm also looking for another place to check out. Looks like I'll be visiting my sister in Greenwood a little more often:-)
