Flat Creek Range Lafayette, IN CLOSED for Summer

[raider600]

Bummer. Went there once and dropped $60. But totally worth it. I shot the crap out of my guns

I assume Walt was the big guy sitting behind the desk on the right when one came in. Yes, he is great guy, once explained firearms related things to me for well over an hour, told me wha not to do and how to improve. But then other local gun shops do the same, it's good business practice and part of attracting customers by not just selling them stuff but also explaining how to use it.

It was a nice a indoor range and I am sad it's gun. I used it little but it was very nice having it around. There membership were quite pricy and I guess just couldn't compete the cheap conservation clubs around. Also, their transfer fees were quite steep. Still sad to see it go.

Yeah, Walt's the big guy with a beard; Sally's his wife; Brad is the skinny guy (don't know if he's any relation of theirs); and I'm not sure I ever caught the name of the youngest guy you'd sometimes see behind the counter.

Hope someone can buy up the property and make it a go....

I think Kirk should buy it...

Freeman's Flat Creek Range does have a particular ring to it!

Hmmm, maybe I hang Union Jacks in the store, serve tea and biscuits at 4 (I'll hire rhino to push the tea cart), and at noon everyone stands at attention while I play God Save the Queen on the kazoo.

Simply smashing idea, ol' chap! Smashing indeed!

I believe you refer to Pat... He's Walt and Sally's son.

If I eat Italian food for lunch, I could probably

along with your kazoo... With a little work, one of us might not sound like the other.

Blessings,

Just joined up so I could post to this thread.

Today I took a 1/2 day off just so I could run a few rounds through a couple of my guns. I live way on the north side, so it was a long drive down there. Ah, closed. Never thought to call or check the web to see if they were still open.

I don't shoot much, mostly just shoot to keep skills up. But, when I felt like it, I headed to Flat Creek. Decent lanes, though sometimes things wouldn't work right or the target would sway alot due to the ventilation.

The younger guy was super nice and we had nice talks whenever I was there. Hope things work out for them one way or another.

I wouldn't think so. They've been closed a couple of months now, and that's a current auction!

Nope. They've sold those for years, and they still hold the FFL 01 (although it lists Flat Creek's location...), plus the 07 manufacturer, so they can make anything. It's not their responsibility who buys them or what they do with them afterward, with the exception that they have to do the 4473 for any firearm and have a tax stamp in place before completing a Class III sale.

Blessings,
