As of an hour ago, their Facebook page says "A few more days, sorry."
I'm wondering how those diamond plate shooting booths are going to work out.

"Nothing we can do". This is what you could have done. Instead of posting it the day of at 1pm, post it yesterday or the day before. About an hour after I left they put that up. I was there at noon, it's 4 now. Unless this came as a surprise to them when they opened this morning, there's no reason why someone couldn't take a few seconds to post it earlier.

They have also removed the post saying it would be open today and the video of their owner using the range.
Re: Iron city armory rant
Can't argue with that. I'm hoping that the place survives and is worth my $300. I belong to PMSC but rarely go there because it is on the other side of the planet.

You also could have followed up and made a phone call. It's better to take tthings into your own hands then rely on others to have information correct.
Re: Iron city armory rant
I have been keeping tabs on this range opening for several months (July was the original time frame that I was told). Was planning to go down there this evening, but my wife saw the post on facebook about the delay.
We have plans on purchasing a membership, after we check it out.

+1 Never rely on any media for accurate and up to date information. I would have confirmed with a phone call if it was going to be a lot of time and trouble for me to prepare and drive there. :p

I ignored this the first time because I thought it was such a waste of time for the person to even write. The video they posted was THE OWNER using the range and it said it would be open wednesday. Obviously in retrospect, I should have called. Obviously. I would still be bitching about them thought because the guy took a video of him shooting in the range before it passed inspection.

I understand your frustration and excitement. I couldn't help to state the obvious. :cool:
Over my life time I've been burned too many times by acting on data I didn't confirm. Being older and wiser now, I confirm the data before proceeding.
Personally, I'd be very hesitant to put out that much cash in advance for something that wasn't already established and running to my satisfaction. I'd probably of just waited for the range to open and tried it out several times before I committed to any long term contract. Hope it all works out soon in your favor.
