New Indoor Range Opening in Westfield

[NumberCruncher]

What about all of that innocent corn adjacent to the firing range?? What if a stray round were to penetrate the concrete reinforced walls and escape the building??

The last thing we need is that kind of "cornage" in our community!!!

Do we know when the opening will be?

Yes, we are anxiously waiting. The north side has way too few shooting options.

Can this be open yet? I have an itch to shoot, but dont want to drive 30+ minutes to do it!

I really don't care WHO opens first, as long as there is no discrimination of the disabled. I shoot every week and am tired of driving to Dons.

Looks like they are working on the walls.

Looks like they are working on the walls. View attachment 21206

And the rest room is cleaner than the one at Pop's range

Sorry, I've been slacking on updates. This pic is a week old, looks like the concrete work is done. Actually went by the other day and they had framing up in the front.

 

[jaeisber]

do we know the expected opening date? I am anxiously awaiting the grand opening.

I heard a neighbor say October 1st. Not sure where he heard that, and from the progress it sure doesn't look like that would happen. Hopefully by winter is a doable target, but I know no details.

 

[jaeisber]

Yeah, I cannot see that happening, especially after seeing the picture that was just posted...my guess would be in the November time-frame. Hoping sooner rather than later, but would prefer a more polished product than something rushed to completion.

Would make a great INGO meet up place! Does a range have any need for a "soft opening" like they do in the restaurant industry? As a "test run" for your staff to go through the motions of their training (safety briefing, waivers signed, proper verbiage...), I think a handful of local INGO'ers showing up before the official start would be beneficial. It would be done with the understanding that it is really a "work out the bugs" kind of thing. I'm not trying to scam a reason for a discounted visit (I don't think it should be), really just thinking it would be fun to help out.

Good idea Doc. I'd like to join in on a "walk through" day to help work out potential bugs. Run it like a normal business day, with the understanding that we can call a "time out " for any reason to discuss options/solutions. I'm excited to have a range in my area and will gladly assist to help it start safe and smooth.

I'm all for this idea. Can't wait for this to open finally someplace to shoot that isn't over an hour away.

 

[jaeisber]

Count me in on this idea as well. I am anxiously waiting for this to open. Cannot wait to have a good range on the northside!

 

[MemphisR32]

I drove by today and its coming along fast. A good amount of siding is up and the place looks to be taking shape. I cant wait seeing as how I can walk over to the range.

Drove past yesterday to check on progress - looking good!! Truly hoping the doors are open by December. Within 2 minutes of home, it will be so much more convenient for me
