Lafayette indoor range has new owner

[AppliedB]

As most of you know, the indoor range in Lafayette was closed earlier this year. There has been much speculation as to what happened. The fact is that it was repossessed for financial reasons.

What you may not know is that I have been the co-owner of a small gun shop in Lafayette for several years, Applied Ballistics Systems, Inc. I have taken on a new partner, Dave Schnelle (aka: Indianahighpower) and we have collectively lost our minds.

We are in the final paperwork stages of acquiring and reopening the range on Olympia Drive. We will be expanding the retail area, giving the place a much need face lift, cleaning, upgrading the HVAC system, etc.

We hope to be open for business sometime in mid December. In the meantime, we will still be open at our location at 3461 Union St, M-F 2-6. If you would like more information please give me call: 765-426-4937.

I will be hanging out with Kokomo Dave Moon at the Indy 1500 gun show most of the weekend. Stop by and say hello.

Good info to know! Thanks for re-opening it... I look forward to shooting there again.

ETA: Stan, you don't need to "report" the messages in the social groups or on the main board unless you want to send an email to all the moderators when you do it.

Blessings,

Thanks for the welcome.

I reported it because I wanted all to know!

Thanks Stan!

I've been waiting for this! I told you before, and I'll say it again, if you need help getting the store remodeled, or setup, whatever, just give me a call.

I know you've got my number, you printed my business cards!

Thanks again, and,

Good Luck Buddy!

Congrats, Stan. Can I pick up my letterhead and envelopes there as well as my machine guns?

New business name? Keeping Flatt Creek? Applied Ballistics? Something else?

 

[AppliedB]

Applied Ballistics

Why would we even consider keeping to old name?

Why would we want to change our name?

We are Applied Ballistics Systems, Inc..

I believe we have a good reputation for service, etc. and never have been associated with the old business in any way, shape or form.

As far as the letterhead goes, give Sherry a call and she will fill you in.

Great to know! I bought my stripped lower from your shop on Union, great to know you will be closer and answer the question of what to do on a rainy day. Good luck with everything!!!

This is awesome. Can't wait to for you guys to open. I went to the old one a few times, but never shot there. I hope you guys make the retail section much larger.

 

[CSK22]

AWESOME!!!!!!! will it be a club or a pay per use? I dont have the time to really be involved or pay dues or anything, or is both available?

 

[Donnelly]

Will make sure to drive by and check for when you guys open. The wife and I get over to Lafayette at least once a month, if not more often. It is one of our favorite places to shop.

Huzzah! Can't wait! I've been holding out on getting a membership anywhere further away because I had heard rumors Flat Creek was going to open up sometime soon under new management. This is great news.

Any chance you can open your retail shop on Saturdays? That is the only time during the week I can get to lafayette!
Thanks

Great news. I was just thinking about this the other day because I knew it was mentioned before. Glad to see things coming along, and hope all goes according to plan so we can get in there soon.

This is GREAT news to hear!

We desperately need an indoor range in Lafayette for us Lafayette area shooters. I visited Flat Creek once and was not too impressed with a lot of things.

Really looking forward to you guys opening up.
