OK......now I have to Google Thwarping. I guess mcapo's link will give me a clue but man I am not sure I want to know.
Don't do it with the terrorists in the room!

Good queef.
I stopped in there a couple days ago. Gun bunker's range is said to be down all week (I guess they meant it's open next Mon?). Unless they've upgraded their air filtration system I'm not going back. I don't need to breath any more powdered lead. Indy Arms is better, so is Point Blank.
Congratulations on your upcoming retirement. I turn 60 this year and counting the years before my removal from the workforce. Keep busy and stay social.
I am working on a 1941 Colt/Ithaca 1911A1. Have it a quick safety check and stepped out on the back porch. Emptied the mag with full satisfaction and back to the bench for full tear down and cleanup. It is nice living in the country.
Thats the old Pops Guns. Dont go there. Extra time to drive to a better facility is worth it.
Might be worth considering getting serious with your guns and join an outdoor club?1. You bring up a point of concern I have thought about, and wondered if everyone should be wearing at least a small mask to protect their lungs because of the ingestion of lead if a person is going to be doing alot of shooting indoors.
2. Below is a quote from an article:
"However, decades of evidence indicate that substantial health risks are incurred by the shooters themselves in the form of lead exposure and subsequent poisoning. Indeed, as pointed out as early as 1994 by Ozonoff, based on high blood lead levels (BLLs) of shooters."
Another quote:
"But one risk has been little acknowledged: Lead dust exposure."
"If a gun range isn't ventilated well, lead dust collects on shooters' clothing and hands and lingers in the air, where it can be inhaled. The more people shoot, the greater the risk of being exposed to dangerous amounts of lead."
3. I've not heard anyone speak of such things, but you bringing up the air filtration pumps up my paranoia to the forefront.
It seems that a range that had proper advanced filtration would use it as a selling point, a bragging right to put themselves above the competition.
4. I did check on Indy Arms: about 30 minutes from my house, with Point Blank being a few minutes less depending if you are going after work, which is what I did when I had a membership there, and 465 can get clogged up getting to or from the range.
5. I loved Indy Gun Bunker being only 9 minutes from my house: so convenient, but, if they don't have proper equipment (as you suspect after being there), it is not worth undoing a life of healthy living.
I'm already nearly a year at that range now, my 1st year being at Point Blank in Carmel and Greenwood, with a few months at Tim's Shooting Academy in Westfield before I discovered the joys of a yearly membership vs paying each time one went to the range.
6. But, how does a person ask the right questions about air filtration or even know if what you are being told is the truth at any particular range?
7. Thanks for the heads up, though!

He's not the owner's son, he's the former owner's son and he is the current owner. He has been for several years. The range and the
showroom are in the midst of major upgrades. Forget all of the complaints aboit "Pop Guns". It's completely different now and is constantly improving. The only compaint might be that they don't give guns away for half price and they do charge sales tax.
I wasn't disappointed I got a few free rounds of .380.
Is the range fixed and open now?
I plan to go shoot next week sometime.
I too am a member, it's on my way home off 465 N.
When I go in, if they have a place for me I take my target, do my thing, police up after myself, and go home.
Like fast food everybody has their favorite.
When I said I wasn't going back it only meant to shoot. I bought some offset 45* sights there. Pricing was competitive. The showroom is getting a bump up in size which is good. If i hear that the range air scrubbers are doing a good job I'll reconsider some range time.
