Was in there today and somebody had mentioned people *****ing about it to them, they are now talking about changing their policy. They are good people in there so I'm sure they will make it right.
That was me, they are good guys in there and I want them to succeed. I think they are just nervous having a brand new nice range and just aren't quite sure how to protect it/themselves from liability etc. I think they'll come around as they get more comfortable, the good news is their ammo is priced very competitively. I'll buy from them instead of walmart to fill my ammo cans. Oh, and had a nice time at the range testing my Kart barrel in my Colt.
My pics of their brochure are up again.
I just saw on the pics you posted that it says hand guns up to .44 Special. Does that mean no .44 Mag, 45ACP or .45 Colt? Is it determined by bullet size or energy? Interesting.
Probably just means 44 mag and bigger, i've shot a lot of ACP there and they have .45 colt so it should be fine but I don't know if you could take your Marlin.
I checked the place out last week. We have been shooting at Atterbury, which is a drive for sure. The one thing I like about Atterbury is that it is fairly cheap to shoot. I was given a lot of numbers about price, but was wondering if they charge for two or more people to share a lane? If they do, then even with the drive and time to Atterbury, it may still be worth it to go down there than a mere ten miles from home. Atterbury is usually only $7 for us (we just shoot for a bit) plus we get to use whatever ammo we want. We only use factory ammo from Walmart, or we have purchased ammo at Atterbury. So long as their ammo is within a $1 per box with what Walmart charges, not a huge price difference. However, if they charge for a second person to use the same lane, Atterbury just still becomes the better deal.
Never shot at Eagle Creek, but it might be a place we check out at as well. Hopefully Highsmith will get their prices more competitive (if they aren't already, which I don't know how they compare to Pops, Beech Grove, etc. locally).
