Dream indoor range

[Flyer007]

I was thinking what would be a moderate dream range.


Wouldn't it be great to have a 40-50 lane 100yd indoor range rated to .308?

Space for classrooms, store, snack bar that over looks range.

With that size you could run 2 gun IDPA, do appleseeds, etc.


What services would you like in a range that size?

 

[Admin]

Smoking and a bar.

 

[zzrider]

Why isn't "located in my basement" one of the poll options?

 

[Flyer007]

Added a poll multiple choice allowed

Yeah...somehow probably not going happen with a bar...end smoking dead in public places now in MA

+1.... for a dream I can see that

Yeah, we couldn't have a range and a bar. What's next? Gasoline stations selling cigarette lighters? Oh, the humanity!

I picked 50 lanes. That would be sweet. You're not bunched up together, which I secretly can't effing stand.

Retail gun shop, instruction, food/drink, at a minimum 50 yards and as many lanes as you can afford. That way you can host large matches.

Do not build it in Worcester.

Cigar Bar! - 3 sided shooting -Permanent steel targets - good lighting - good ventilation- oh and a few strippers to clean our guns.

15 mins from 495 and 20 mins from 128 okay?

Hmmmmm......wonder what MA cigar regs like? Noted on lights, targets, probably could radius the end to increase angle shots

 

[Flyer007]

oh...prob. be tough sell on strippers.....but bikini clad cleaners?

Sounds like a winner. BBQ joint inside the place would be a nice touch.

A little tricky to work around but you can do it, There are several cigar bars in MA and one that just opened about a month ago. Also, Private clubs are still ok.

Also, Private clubs are still ok.

For now.

Picture a long rectangle. Now cut that long rectangle in half lengthwise. Put a few really long lanes in one half of the rectangle, going end to end. In the other half, take half of it and make it short pistol lanes, with both the long and short lanes ending at the same place so everyone shoots in the same direction. Out of the piece that is left, put a cigar bar, smoke free room, snack bar, and firearm store.

And put it right down the street from my house with 24x7 keycard access. Pistol range rated for anything .500 & under, and rifle range ok for .50bmg and under. Both pistol lanes and rifle lanes would have a bore restriction in the rightmost lanes, so the new guy shooting a 22 for the first time doesn't cringe when a big bore is shot three feet away from him.

An ammo dispenser like the old cigarette machines at the barber shop and DD.

Why not? Will the ATF come to shut it down or something?

I agree with the bar and shops. Maybe even a 4-5 lane "beginners/learners" station that is walled off so they don't shoot anyone. Also, a classroom or two would be awesome, especially if all sorts of different, low cost classes were offered.

Why because Gemme is a coward.

that sounds almost perfect. as long as its down the street from me! (and lets alter "snack bar" to "mall type food court!", but maybe i'm just being a fatass)

 

[Gonzo]

How about a "In NH" option?

 

[Flyer007]

Good ideas guys.....

I saw a couple of spaces that were very cool. But made from warehouses so had I beams in either a 40'X40' or 20'X60' layout. So not sure how that would work.

To give you an idea.....

Why isn't "located in my basement" one of the poll options?

Bingo.

I think you mean columns, not beams. Columns are vertical members. Beams are horizontal members.

No, having columns in the midst of a firing range won't work. It is simply unsafe.

Free ammo, hot promiscuous women and free beer.

 

[Flyer007]

Correct........So it would either have to partition out it 40' widths....or see if it could be re engineered for part of it.

Two lanes at my house that double as a bowling alley

Working on it......

In business plan creation phase. So consider this your ability to tell me what you would come for.

Thanks!

Never would have pegged you as a smoker.
