Shoot point blank

[Ingomike]

I've been there as guest of member's when the Carmel location first opened, but I've never spent a penny there.

Their clientele rakes hippy stank.

I wouldn't care if they go bust.

Could the middle sentence of this be translated to English?

So you would be happy if thousands of folks in the greater Indy area lost three gun ranges and had nowhere to shoot?

I agree with the OP that it's an annoying "gotcha" extra charge. If you go infrequently to that specific range, it's $5 extra each time.

Not true. It is $5 annually.

Bashing? Are you what, 10 years old?

If that's what you think about highlighting poor customer service, then put me down also as someone who doesn't care what you think

OK fellas I am getting ready to hand out some rewards here and shut this down. Mouse aint playing.

I'm not paying five dollars to sign their waiver lol. I've been in SPB a lot and have bought stuff from there but I just won't shoot there, no liability waiver fee at Highsmiths.

What exactly was the OP meaning when he said “Whew, I feel better now”?

Brother if you see that as bashing then you need to think about this again. Thats venting and you are starting to wear on me.
I am done here.

Ok out

OK folks. Have we all had a moment to settle down. I put up warnings and the OP and others ignored them.
Nothing makes me want to get on you guys but posting styles and prolonging arguments irritates the staff especially after in thread warnings.
Next one that acts foolish gets time off.
And go

As I’ve gotten older, I’ve become less and less fond (aka tolerant) of indoor ranges. I just basically take the winter off or wait for a nice day to go out to MCF&G. Every time I go into an indoor range I see all the bullet holes where they don’t belong and think “glad I wasn’t here when THAT happened”.

Ooopps, posted my Range day SPB comments after reading post #1, and erased them after reading the warning post on page 5, sorry.

My quick insight to this charge. I’ve been to SPB many times in the past. I’ve taken my wife, kids, parents, friends. This $5 fee is the most absurd thing I’ve heard of. I don’t remember in the past(3years ago) of them doing this. I’ve shot next to people that shouldn’t be given a potato peeler.. a $5 charge for a first time shooter sounds ridiculous to me but on the other hand maybe it’s to deter the first time shooters..? In any point, I stopped going because of a negligible discharge that occurred in the shop area. I was shooting while my wife and daughter was outside the glass watching. Maybe they should charge an admission fee for first time shooters at the door? Or you can just stop going.

Is it paid time off?

I think he means “reeks of hippy stank”?
ETA which could more clearly be translated to smells like teen spirit, or appears that the younger crowd may be welcome, or man buns may be present, or these people don’t look like me, or warning! new shooter!

And to me this begs the question, even though I disagree with you Mike on this exact subject at hand, do we want places for “hippies”, or possibly even “other new gun owners that don’t fit the grumpy old man Bible thumping conservative mold” to shoot? Absolutely, bring them into the fold, hippie stank and all.
The place fills a niche, and that’s awesome.

Johnny, he just doesn’t get it. Never did address the way I was talked to. Don’t waste words on him. I sense maybe some kool aid may be influencing …

 

[BGDave]

MMMMMMMMMM reminds me of a good ole days dogpile. Read em all. Touchy bunch.
BTW OP; This is important, when he said leave and don't come back, he said the magic words to establish trespass. No further warnings required.

All this needed was Cathy in Blue, 88GT and a dose of Horny lock n Load.
Thank for the morning laugh guys.

I think it's called an Ingogasm.

THERE WAS NO POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE ALLEGED. The OP was ticked they charge a fee of $5 they call a liability waver fee, that is good for one whole year at their ranges.

Ah,now I see it. You just didn’t read the entire post.

Me, I like SPB. My only other option is Blythes in Valpo. and they dont deserve my business. SPB has open window range with active RO. Now, how that manager treated you is inexcusable and should be called out publicly and to SPB corporate.

Threads like this always make me say, "Thank God I do not have to use an indoor range or a public range."

Oh my, there are fees! Who knew? The insanity!
