New Local Range
A while back, I noted that The City (My The City) may get an indoor firing range. Well, it looks like Gunny’s is set to open in mid-March. Their website says this month but I called them and they said it looks like March (speaking of their website, yes it is horrible and when I stop by, I might offer to help them with that).
They have a 25 yard range and it looks like, if you join now, they’ll knock $80 of the price of membership. Rumor I’ve heard is that if you join, they’ll sell you your first handgun at cost. So, don’t hold them to that. It’s just what some locals have told me. There’s also the added bonus that they’re seven miles from my house.

This sounds great.
Let us know when it opens.

I went by Gunny’s a couple of weeks ago and signed up for a membership. It looks like it will be nice. They have enough room upstairs to have a huge showroom and the range (downstairs) looks like it will be really nice also. They will even have a few range slots that you can shoot centerfire rifle up to .308. I know its only at 25 yards but it would get you on the paper with a new setup. They do offer your first purchase at cost (for members). Both guys involved with the shop are nice fellows… can’t wait for it to open. We really needed a good indoor range in Maryville.

So, are they open? Just not the range?

“They will even have a few range slots that you can shoot centerfire rifle up to .308”
Aww, damn. I was thinking of coming out but all the rifles I have are “historical” (meaning: bigazzz .30 and 8mm calibers).
No, wait, there are a couple 6.5 ones…

SayUncle, they appear to be in and out while working on the shop… there isn’t much of anything upstairs and the range is a construction zone. They are answering the phone. I arranged to stop by and pay for my membership (before the deal runs out) and was given a short tour.
