Re: Indoor range opens in Easton
Cool. I'm 10 min from Shimerville, but I might have to try the new place, just to see what a shiny new range is like, before half the lights are shot out.
People will probably complain about the cost and thw safety procedures, but IMO, new places to shoot are always a good thing.

I received an email from them on Friday 9/23, stating that pistols and rifles are now available to rent. Sign up for their newsletter.

Re: Indoor range opens in Easton
I stopped in to see if they had any target 22LR ammo. No such luck, not even green tag. I was ask what I was shooting, I told them it was a Savage MK II TR. They told me that a bolt action 22 should shoot anything, because it is not a semi automatic. I was wanting target ammo for groups, not function. I said Thanks, and walked out. I'll just keep shooting at Easton Fish & Game. Since I am a member, it is only $30 a year. We have 50ft 22 range, 25yd pistol range,100yd rifle range, and an action range. Plus they are about the same distance from my house.

Re: Indoor range opens in Easton
I'm another supporter of EFGA, although seeing the bullet holes in the dumpster and hearing some horror stories from other members about unauthorized users is making me a little wary about renewing.
I stopped by Heritage just to check it out, and the place is pretty swank inside. It's also pretty expensive.
I might be wrong, but I don't think they're going to get much business with 20/hour lane rentals. Maybe from the refugee crowd across the river, but that's a far drive to spend a good chunk of cash just to shoot a gun. Maybe it's easier and more convenient than navigating the cumbersome NY/NJ firearms laws, but I'd be surprised if there's many PA residents who would frequent that range.
FWIW, though, there are a few Kimbers for sale in the showroom. It wasn't open quite yet, but I poked my head around the divider for a peek. I'm not sure where their price point falls, but considering how the place was constructed, I have a feeling they're going to be more on the high end of things.

I stopped into Heritage Guild this morning to check out the handguns. They have a large selection but are still waiting for the Glocks to arrive. They have some very expensive used handguns at least for my wallet. Maybe after the new Glocks arrive they will have some trade-ins. I am not into rifles & shotguns so somebody else will have to report about those. There are over 30 handguns to rent including the S&W 500. Looked for 10mm ammo but none in stock there was a space for it on the shelf so maybe one day they might have some then I can check the price.

Re: Indoor range opens in Easton
I stopped in there the other day. It is a really nice place. Their prices are okay not the best and not the worst. They have a large collection of US military rifles and handguns for sale. They seam to be just a gun shop and range no hunting, camping fishing crap which is a nice change of pace.
I really like the range section, well lit and very good ventilation.

Re: Indoor range opens in Easton
The rental selection is extensive, and they're all current models in new condition. I'm looking forward to some try-before-I-buy.
