    Congratulations. Nice looking range and great to have another indoor option. Hope you are right about not hitting the walls. Unfortunately, have seen a couple ranges that ended up hanging rubber/soft panels along the walls after the block walls became chewed up with impacts. Hope it is a great success.

    really I'm just curious how controlled that type of thing was. You guys handled my FFL and I plan to be back to pick up an OWB holster for it. I would love to do something in my basement for 9mm use and was interested in what setup you guys used.
    Just being funny. It is a steel structure filled with ground up rubber couple of feet deep and we have a block wall built behind that and steel lined on the walls. Steel and wood lined up on one wall and 6 inch thick concrete block for the other wall. Probably overkill but nothing is getting out of the range. As far a s a basement goes, I am sure you could do the same thing but I am not sure what would be entailed as far as if the city found out or whatever. I do know zoning is an issue. We were already zoned for it but from what I hear if you are trying to rezone a property for one, it's not going to happen.

    What are the prices for range use? Will memberships be offered?
    Ultimately it will be 8 dollars per half hour. At the moment when it opens we are running specials for awhile like a 10 1/2 hour range pass for 50 dollars, if you mention ingo, it's 40. We will be offering other packages and deals as well. There will be no memberships offered at this time. I don't like them personally. From a business standpoint, it would be good to have a large amount of money come in at once but I don't like the idea of people bumping people when they have been waiting to shoot. If you come in and we tell you, you will be shooting in 1/2 hour, in a 1/2 hour you are shooting. Not in a 1/2 hour a member comes in, gets head of the line and bumps you back another 1/2 hour. We want everyone to have an opporutnity to shoot.

    Yes - they are just north of Oreilly Auto Parts, across the road from McDonald's.

    7.62x39 is a high powered rifle round and will not be allowed in this range. Fun gun, but you'll have to use a rifle range for it.

    I stopped by Indy Trading Post for the first time today - the range looks great, even though it's not quite done, and I went ahead and pre-purchased range time. I wish I had looked at this thread before I went so I could have saved $10! Oh well.

    What kinds of rentals will you be offering?

    Right now I have a couple of glocks, a springfield, a revolver, and will be adding some more stuff to the pile here shortly.

    The kids will be welcome, of course you have to stay with them for safety. The 7.62x39 will not be allowed.
