Popguns

[Glock19]

I let a friend of mine take me to popguns. Got ready to shoot and realized I had no. 380 ammo for my sig. Told the Guy to give me the cheapest ammo he had for 380. He toodles to pay after. (God I'm stupid) so after shooting I noticed that he charged me 33 bucks for a box of .380 RWS!!!! WTH! THIS IS 20 DOLLAR AMMO AT MOST SHOPS IVE SEEN. Wont be going back there again. I know it was my own fault but come on!

They used to get p/o'd at me when I wouldn't buy their ammo at the range. I told him they were too expensive.

 

[nad63]

That's still cheaper than Don's Guns.
But no matter what people still pay it.

It is a gun range. Never buy ammo at the gun range, as they've got you by the b*lls. It is the nature of the beast. Pop guns is great though.

Indy Gun shop on Madison Ave with range did the same to me. $35 for a box of cheap .45.
I'd just spent over $800 in there. Last $ I will ever give them.
Boycott the high priced stuff. I go out of my way anymore not to pay the high prices.

Its not a community service establishment ...... its a retail store that must make a profit. Take your cheap ammo with you when you go ....... and have fun shooting.

Pop guns is great though.

How so?

How so?

I shoot there often. I have a membership and the facility is usually in good repair. They are open every day. The staff is friendly.

+1 to don't buy your ammo at the range. That is exactly like buying a quart of oil at the gas station, and then complaining about the price.

The staff is friendly.

I won't call the staff names, but the "kid" that works there is full of himself to say the very least. Not to mention he flicked a lit cigarette onto my BMW (convertible) and didn't even say sorry.

He also had no clue of how to take a 1911 apart without dropping the parts all over the floor.

Pop is one of the worst places anyone could ever go. The owner is anti OC?

They are horrible, all of there stuff is cheap but high priced. Heaven forbid you go in there to just look around. I've went in there a few times to take a look and see if they have anything I want. Well I didn't get anything due to there high prices. I came back in there about a week later to take my little brother shooting and the "old man" started running his mouth saying "well its about damn time he spent some money in here" and so on and so on, that's uncalled for. The sign says Family Indoor Shooting Range how about you run it like a family oriented place.

They are high priced on ammo and guns but the range is well kept. I've shot there around a dozen times and i haven't had a bad experience. I will never buy a gun at Pops but I will go back to shoot.

 

[mpmike25]

I wouldn't buy anything at pops, especially a gun. They want 629.99 for a new gen 4 glock. Pretty sure that's over 10% when they say they're only 10% over.

 

[MolonLabe11B]

I would go to Bradis for any glock purchases. Bradis has fair prices.

 

[mpmike25]

Bradis has fair prices all around on there items in my opinion

 

[Mike_Indy]

Pops is a decent indoor range. As others have said, don't buy Ammo (or anything for that matter) from them. Until BGFA or someone opens up a better range in my area, I'll be going there on occasion - range only.

 

[mpmike25]

Greenfield is also opening a indoor range and there is a indoor range at Indy Trading Post.

 

[BigMoose]

I visited popguns and got ignored. This was Saturday and people were in line for the range. Nothing worth going back for really.

Trading post range can only handle Handgun calibers. They need to upgrade thier backstop.

I found the quote...

Mike Hilton, of Pop Guns, called the plan asinine. "It's kind of cowboy action. It's little children playing," he said. "The general population is intimidated by firearms, so why cause a problem?"
