Point Blank range coming to Merrillville

[bigretic]

That will be sweet. Anyone hear anything about a timeline for opening?

Seriously? We absolutely NEED something in this area. It would be HUGE.

 

[HoughMade]

Who, what, where and when?

I know the why.

They have a nice facility-been in the one in Greenwood when I had stopped by the Gander Mountain-but they are bit pricey.

But if it's the only place you have to shoot at, it works.

I was told it was approved last week.

Ooh, right near my dog groomer. I can drop the dogs off and go shooting!

Sounds good. Man we really need something like this. If this goes and it's a big success (i'm betting it will be) then hopefully it will open the doors for other such facilities in the region. One can only hope. Why should the Indy area have all the fun.

This is desperately needed in the area. Hopefully they can stay in business since it's on a semi-back road.

Well they'll have plenty of my business if it goes thru.

They are going to be some well groomed pooches.

It's a stone's throw from the mall and it's in Gander's back yard. I think it will do fine.

 

[gunbunnies]

I'm interested.... Wonder how soon they will be opening ?

 

[HoughMade]

Very close to where I used to work....used to.

 

[PMR]

That would be great to have a place close to us, they would get my business.

Congrats to everyone in that area. I became a member as soon as they opened the Carmel location and moved down to the Greenwood location when they opened there last November. Both are great ranges. They are pricey, but I think they're worth it. The gun shop has reasonable prices on guns and some really decent sale prices and the range is one of the best I've been to. Great lighting and ventilation at both facilities. The only problem, in my mind is that their membership prices are very high. That said, I did a full all-access membership for a year and enjoyed it. The ability to reserve a lane was very beneficial, especially in the cooler months when they were more crowded. Here's hoping the new location will be just as awesome as the two I've visited!

I don't think price will be a deterrent for me, unless we're talking $20 an hour or more. Blythe's in Valparaiso is up to $17 (limited to an hour if they are busy), and Deb's in Hammond (where I would not go anyway) is $15. Since both are ~25 miles away for me, Merrillville will be a great option at 7 miles since I'd be saving two gallons of gas per trip.

OMG more guns into NWI......I have my tin-foil hat...now to go under the bed with milk and cookies....I'll be safe as a fetus in the womb
