Duppie

Mine is now more comfortable and accurate with my big N frame S&W than all my 9 mm's and the other young ladies I first took to the range are still shooting and have yet to pick up a .22. I think we tend to underestimate just how capable and game some Women are......

Yep...bought a bunch of those when they were on sale and now have not only calibers but brands separated and tagged with painter's tape.

Thank for the update...I for one have been scouring the local papers searching for any progress after your petition was approved some 2 years ago and there are quite a few like me in Monroe/and surrounding towns. Please keep us up to date and as I live not 5 minutes away fully expect to be a member.

I think you're wrong......You shoot at Shore Shot as do I and I buy my targets there {$2.00/5. possible mark up on 5 pieces of paper? 500%] I don't buy my ammo there but [50 rounds of basic range ammo, member price $21.99.markup? 40%] cleaning supplies [small tube of Flitz $11.99, markup 35%] just to name a few and on several occasions I've witnessed accessories sold [extra mags/speed loaders,gun cases/rugs,cleaning chemicals,ect] Now I know I can get most if not all of these online for less but they have been good to me and I try to support them in my own small way but don't for a minute think that add on sales is not a very large part of any gun shop's bottom line or there would not be so much valuable floor space devoted to accessories....ever been to Cabelas?

My nephew from Norway just used his Passport at SS without any issues.

Love the food reference...my niece has 2 Pekes named Kobe and Angus.

I stopped by on several occasions and it always seemed that it was just a sideline and not really a viable undertaking...sparse inventory of marginal firearms and no real ammo or accessories to speak of. You didn't need a crystal ball to foresee the future....

I promised myself to "KISS",pretty much only had 9mm's,38's/357's and kept loyal to that edict for many years but then the Colt Army 1911 entered the fold and now I was searching for .45 ammo that didn't cost half a tank of gas...... Recently a slew of LEO trade in's have been showing up in .40 and I'm feeling the itch. In essence.....never say never.

Sorry about your dog...such a great breed. I like "Remington" "Weatherby" "Bren" "Mossberg" Enfield" and my favorite while not a firearm is "Angus".

So they are not reloads then?

Excellent post and I for one am impressed at the honesty and transparency of your pricing, store policy and customer service philosophy.Somethings that all too often is not as forthcoming in today's business environment.

I was under the impression that some ranges require you shoot their new ammo in order to insure that reloads could not cause possible damage to the firearm and /or the shooter....but you shot their reloads through a rental firearm? OK then.

..at what appears to be a rather inflated price? What is the per/hourly or yearly rate?

I haven't had the pleasure to shoot there...but am I to understand that in order to shoot their rental guns you are obliged to purchase solely their ammo?

I own a Taurus 605 with a 3 inch barrel. More a belly gun than a range toy but even after 800+ rounds it 's still tight,runs like a clock and a blast to shoot.

Exactly.....No favors or good "customer service" was done here.

I have K&N filters in all my vehicles but not for some mythical gain in power or performance but simply because after a couple of years it basically pays for it self,between all my cars I'm in for almost $150.00 for decent filters and since I put in a lot of miles on each and hang on to them for awhile K&N's and a recharge kit just makes sense.

Agreed but I'm attempting to put myself in the proprietor's and investor's shoes....In essence they spending what can prove to be a substantial amount of resources on the hope that the township will acquiesce in the future......Clearly an expensive gamble. Selfishly I do hope both gets built but realistically I foresee a revisiting of their respective feasibility studies.

Still doesn't bode well for Ira I should think.....

Damn! As a private club concept not being able to subsidize membership $'s with ammo and gun sales/rentals may put a serious strain on the existing business plan. Perhaps this is why we haven't heard anything further about the planned public range that Tarantino got approval in 2011.

Okay now which range is this? The one approved about 2years ago that was supposed to go in on Mott Ave or the one that Ira from Legend is putting up?

There you go Kaiser.....couldn't ask for a more qualified and patient instructor as Rosey .

I've taught 2 young ladies and my wife the basics of firearm safety and shooting with a .38 snubby loaded with some wadcutters one round at a time.I don't see the need to start out with some underpowered 22lr round and then progress from there as it wastes time and ammo. Yes the first round is usually a shock and that's why you load one at a time at first but by the 10'th or 12'th round you've already progressed far enough for the basics of shot placement,dump and reload and perhaps even the basic mechanics of a speed loader drill.With a semi auto I stuck with a polymer 9mm model to keep the weight down again loading one round at a time until the young lady built some confidence,then a full mag and told her to go to town to get used to the recoil and diminish flinching....After that it was all about stressing the fine points of accuracy,trigger control and safety. At the very least I've found that if the young lady is receptive, she had learned the basics of gun safety,control,shot placement and reloading after the first session with a effective round and that, in my mind is a win.

"Olde" english apparently......

Damn! This again? OP, PK90 pretty much laid it out for you....every possible,impossible and improbable scenario have been discussed ad infinitum on those pages.
