Opening an indoor range on the North Side, Carmel, Zionsville

[BigJ]

Heck, more than a range would be a decent place to buy guns/reloading equipment! There is nothing like that close to us except for Gander....but I don't consider them "decent"

Dude, you stole my idea!

I'd often thought that the northwest corner of Indy needed a good range and gun shop. But I have no idea how to run a retail business at all, and even less prospects for getting the needed capital to start one. Hell, I could barely write the business plan!

I do hope you can get this going, as I live near 79th and Georgetown. I'll definitely be stopping buy often after you open!

I commend you. There is definetly a demand in this area. I cannot imagine the hoops you would have to jump through to make this a reality.

I live in Zionsville and would love to have an indooor range that close. Good luck!

I live just down the road near 106th, get it up and you've got a membership sold to me!

Any progress with Boone County/Zionsville? Zoning or construction or possibly get shot down?

 

[yotewacker]

good luck with this adventure I hope it works. I know the city of Greenwood tried it a few years ago and the EPA and OSHA stepped in and put a stop to it. They were even going to be required to have a bullet proof ceiling. I'd hate se what it takes to pass OSHA for a high powered rifle range.

Any word at all on this?

+1 having a range near me (Westfield). Hope this is still in the works and will be done soon!

I will join. I drve to Lafayette now because it is not the hassel of driving to indy from lebanon

Hmmm...

Given that the last update on progress/status was in April of last year, I'm afraid it may not be happening. Still have my fingers crossed, but....

Got a PM re: this from Martin. Apparently still in the works, but having to deal with Zionsville sewer requirements etc... I'm betting the city is fighting them with all kinds of zoning crap.

I would love for this to happen!

I've actually been considering opening a new shooting/training facility in the area as well....I've been getting quotes and discussing things with various range designers and companies ......I'd like to know where you guys are at with it as well

 

[xanderphillips]

Please build one close to Westfield. We're centrally located on the north side and currently lacking in any firearm facilities! Heck, partner up with the city government that's wanting to promote Westifield as a 'sports destination' to re-brand the city (since shooting is most definitely a sport!) Maybe they could get some national competitions to be held here as well!

For sure. Although there a lot of gun owners in Zionsville. I sell the Lucas Gun Oil and it amazes me how quickly we sell it in that area. I was pleasantly surprised. I still wanna see the range go in the Carmel/Zionsville/Westfield area. Keep hoping-it will be an expensive endeavor.

^^^^THIS....since I've been doing the research and getting the ball rolling I have learned this very early on, but learned today of a possible investor

Excellent ... glad to hear that this is still in the works! I will certainly be a big supporter if it happens...
