Lafayette indoor range has new owner

[Brown]

Wife and I went up there today from Brownsburg and had a GREAT time. The place is in MUCH better condition than what the previous owners had. The ventilation system is light years ahead of what was in there before.

Busy at the check in counter but we got right in and assigned a lane. Great to see them getting so much business

lol, not sure if they upgraded the ventilation but it may just seem better because it is actually on. I know the old owner would forget to do so on occasion but in reality that was a really nice range before just not run correctly if you ask me. I prob will not have a chance to check it out for a while as I am never in the area anymore but it must be nice during the winter for the folks in Laf/W. Laf.

Just saw this on here. I really have to check this place out. How far is it from Tippy Mall?

Was there Saturday and all I can say is, Stan and Dave really did a nice job cleaning up the place. And I am sure that in a couple weeks they will also a nice retail area with a nice selection.

Glad to have a well run indoor range in town.

Not far at all, go south of the mall on 52, turn right on Brady LN, turn left on Concord, then keep an eye out for Olympia on the right, turn right and its like the second building on the left.

ok thanks! The only range I'ver ever been to is Pops. Lafayette is 45 minutes from me, but it would be nice to try another range. Sounds like this one is better though

Shot at ABSI this evening. The range is in much better condition than Flat Creek was:
- shooting line lights work
- target holders move smoothly and you don't have to wait 10 minutes for the target to stop moving around
- fresh air circulating
- clean
- nothing broken

I went by myself and after watching the ~10 minute orientation video they've made was quickly given a lane. Talked to Stan a little bit and he's a great guy. He even threw in an empty chamber indicator free with my range time (an ECI is required on the range). Overall, it seems like the range is much cleaner and safer than before. Can't wait to organize an outing there for an organization I'm in.

I know just yesterday or the day before I was on thier website. I lost the link but have found it posted here a couple times and cannot get their website to come up. Is there a new website or does anyone have a good link for them? I think they offer a 2 hour introduction to handguns class I would like the wife to take, of course I would attend with her and then we can do some shooting at the range.

I am having same problem today. I hope that doesn't mean there is a problem, I really enjoy shooting there.

Ok. Lets just hope its a server issue or something on their end.

Just called them, they didn't know website was down. yes they are open and operational.

If you need to call them to check on schedules, etc, 765-838-0700.

Seems strange, they are no longer listed a a Davidson's distributor and now this? I don't think it's a good sign, the last place that went this way up here was Ace & Rico's and that didn't turn out too good.

 

[WOLFEMAN]

There is plenty of distributors Applied can buy from, some of them
have better deals than Davidsons. Those guy's at Applied are going
to be around a long time.

 

[Homebrew]

Yep. I just spent more money than I should have tonight, and the place was hoppin'.

 

[tranders]

Stopped in last Saturday for the first time.
Very helpful staff and a nice place. I'll be going back.

It is always hopping, especially on weekends.

Yep. I don't think they're having too much trouble. I rarely listen to terrestrial radio, but WAZY is my go-to station when I don't fire up the Pandora. I get a real kick out of hearing ABSI's name listed as a sponsor for the Purdue football broadcast. Seems that ad plays every 20 minutes or so. I don't know how much coin you need to drop to be a sponsor but it's excellent advertising.

When 1410AM was operational, Applied Ballistics should to run a couple of ads an hours. It was great to hear gun ads on the radio.

And then there's the television ads (I just visualize a Purdue professor having a mini stroke when seeing this):
