I am pretty sure they run open group shooting lessons for younger kids from 10am to 11am. I'm not sure how formal the lessons are, I think they are very informal and you don't need to call ahead, reserve a spot, etc Just show up and learn.

That's what we are going to try out to see if archery is my sons thing.

I can only speak for myself but I have to say Matt from Front Toward Enemy is top notch. Until you deal with him, you will not really know what you are missing at the big name gun/sporting good stores. He's GTG!

r these your true feeling showing....




Agree with you BTW. I've not done a transaction with FTE (yet) but have emailed/PMed him a load of questions and he always answers them.

I think class iii closed and only does guns shows now. Also there are 2 Midwest stores right? There's that non ffl in Michigan city too I think.

Class III range is closed. He still has an "online store" and a "physical location" but does mostly gun shows.

Yes Midwest has 2 location but the 2nd is OUTSIDE NWI (Elkhart) and thus why not on the list. In terms of MI City I think you are thinking of Kemp (??sp??) which does reloading. I'll look it up and add it to the list as well with that side note. Good catch!

Great guy to deal with. It's worth driving the 45 minutes or so to him.

What are you driving, a bicycle? It takes me about 30 minutes to get there, and two hours to leave

Yup! Did you not get the email from them regarding this?
They have a distrubution email that goes out weekly with their weekly specials for the vaplo store ONLY. In that email (I think it was yesterday or monday) it did have a blurp about rates going up.

If you want to get on that email list email this address:

Kempf's is in MC, but that's not the one I was thinking of. There is a new one that I have seen posted on the forums a few times. Right now they are just carrying accessories and gear, but word is they are working on an FFL. I'll try to find it, but it might take me some time.

Ah yes I do think I have seen the website which is a bit LOUD and not well organized. I think they also sell MREs but don't recall the name.

See in some communities "kissing the pink ring" is code for something quite inappropriate for the family friendly INGO.

Hey, don't be jealous of my experiences.

Get off the Internet more and you'll have some too, or get on it more and find the videos I've made.
