This...interests me quite a bit....
I would like to see another rifle/pistol range in central indiana

 

[marcweid]

I would love to know more about this since I live in Avon.

 

[EOD Guy]

Sounds good to me, I need something closer.

Wonder if it's the folks at Ft Liberty? They've mentioned the idea before.

Is this a rimfire, pistol range such as MCFG. If it is a center fire open I am interested.

 

[VUPDblue]

[Kirk Freeman]

Pffft, I used to shoot in Avon all the time. Of course now it is a subdivision.

Lol isnt this the truth to think it all started with the addition of meijer...
Before 94% land now the whole town is one big shopping center. Dont see an outdoor range near here anytime soon..
Definitly not tryin to be a downer but exactly where "can" they put one that isnt already occupied by a vitimans plus or a cvs??

 

[Westside]

All I know is it will be an INDOOR range located on the south side of US36 across form LKQ. It still has to get past the initial public hearing. I am not affiliated with this in any way. I am still trying to find a copy of the notice. I will post it when I find a copy.

THERE IS NO OTHER INFORMATION ABOUT THE RANGE OTHER THAN IT WILL BE AN INDOOR RANGE.

 

[eldirector]

tagging so I can follow up later. Super interested in this!

That'll be the third public range on the west side, two on the east side, and at least one on the south side. I'd love to see one on the north side. Too bad Wyatt's fell through.

Looks like the town council is moving (or has moved - I'm still digging) on a recommendation to allow indoor ranges in their zoning regs.

What's on the east side?

What's on the east side?

Popguns is East. Whatever did happen to Wyatts? I saw the range finished, but now it has been tore down, and an insurance building r similar put there.

A prolonged ATF /FFL issue turned led to bankruptcy/foreclosure.

Popguns, and I was counting ITP, but I guess that's more south-side. As for Wyatt's, I only know the same rumors that everyone else has heard: Something went south with their FFL, they couldn't pay the bills, bank foreclosed, grocery store bought the property. I have no idea if any of that is true.

Isn't there a school or two right near the proposed location. Not that it should matter but some people get funny about that.

Yep. Avon Schools are immediately west and south of that address.

Man, this would be convenient! I wonder who is behind it?
