Posted on by

Started in Sept 2013 with a crowdfunding campaign

  • 12 twenty-five yard shooting lanes
    – 25 yard indoor range
    – anything up to, and including, .50 BMG
  • open to the public
  • rent guns

We arrived an hour or so before they were open, and we were headed to the ATF Technology Branch for the Daily Gun Show LIVE

We couldn’t stay to see the shop, but we did say hello on Instagram
