They have 1 bay of 8 lanes done and the other 14 are under construction still. From my untrained eye I'm guessing they may be open next week but it won't be with all 22 lanes going and much of the building not finished. I do think it will look nice once it is done. The man we spoke with stated they were going to be a high-end option. I didn't get any info from him that made me believe a membership is worthwhile unless you are Active Duty, Retired Military, and First Responders (Patriotic Member $200) or a high volume shooter who goes multiple times a week (Platnum $1000). Lanes are big enough for 2 people, they will allow rifles but I don't remember the caliber limit and shotguns, and they will allow drawing from holsters. However, to draw from the holster you have to be a member and you have to go through an hour in their simulator with one of their instructors to be approved. He also said they had 60-65 members.

I just noticed something - the membership descriptions on the website are different than the brochure he gave us. The Patriotic membership on the website has less free hours, again making it less economical. We asked other pricing questions like gun rental and the guy told us they are still determining those. They will have food for sale there and a bar in the basement for members with daily food specials. There were 3 guys shooting while we were there, I don't know if they were members or owners or what but nobody else was watching them.

Thanks for update. Do they have hourly rates established yet?
