Ken was a card for sure, I know he relied on what little they paid him.
I have not shot since it closed, I have got to find somewhere local

I suspect there are a number of "secret places". I've got two pistol ranges on my own property, but I have to a) know you, and b) like you, for you to use one of them. And even then, use is by invitation only.

Buddy of mine emailed me that there's a "For Sale" sign and it says:

Coldwell Banker Commercial
610-841-3600
Space Available 7,200 sq. ft.

www.coldwellbankercommercial.com

I can't find it online, yet. Any takers?

I wrote a letter to the owner after I found out the range had closed. In the letter I offered to run the range. A few days later the owner a women, don't recall the name called and thanked me for the letter, but said she was going to rent out the building and it would Not be a range anymore. She said if she wanted to keep the range open she had someone to run it.

I called her also and asked what the plan was for those people who had paid membership which was not going to be fulfilled.

She hung up ,lol

Wow...glad I checked in here today. We were heading to Shimerville tomorrow afternoon if it was raining. Looks like Guthsville or Ontelaunee memberships are in order now.

I should have listened to Bill a couple of years ago!

What a shame. My buddy was there in March, said it was a decent place to go, friendlier people than the Firing Line or Heritage, and cheaper too. I don't like the Firing Line because of all the riff raff that goes there, and Heritage Guild is too far away and much more expensive. I love the indoor ranges because its easier to police my brass as I reload, and easier to set target distances, plus its nice to be out of the weather.
