I spoke with the new owners today. They are changing the name (possibly Thunder Allie) and it sounds like they really plan to fix it up an keep it clean. They hope to open April 1st. They seem like some great people and they could use our support.

Heck if they CLEANED it, and made the tracks work that would be a GREAT start.

I hope they did not pay anything (other than a lease) for the "business".  They won't be able to survive if they are trying to pay $100,000 on top of normal expenses.

It's too bad they're not open today, I could use some recoil therapy.

I really hope they make it, and I hope they have a full service gun store also.  Nebraska Gun is a good place but it would be nice to have one more.

Are they willing to share their identity at this time? Also. if they need some help I am sure a couple of people might be willing to help out.

Oddly enough I stopped by there after work and was able to chat with the new owner and his wife.  He said they are still aiming for their 4/1 open date.  So far they've got 4 of the 6 lanes operable.  He said they're painting the walls and putting in new carpet so that it's a nice place to walk into.

I'm cautiously optimistic about the reopening.   :D

By the way, does anyone have any idea of what the fee will be to shoot there?  I neglected to ask the owner while I was there.

I had a chance to visit with the new owners yesterday afternoon.  They are still targeting April 1 to open.  They are sprucing up, painting, replacing carpet etc.  4 of the 6 target carriers have been repaired, and parts ordered for the other 2, so it should be a cleaner, functioning, working range soon.

Oh, they added/replaced a lot of lighting in the range area itself as well.

Hours will be limited when first opened:

Closed Monday
Tuesday - Friday 4:00pm-8:00pm
Saturday 12:00 - 8:00pm
Sunday 12:00 - 6:00pm

Hope it works out well for them.

And, hope and pray that Don (prior owner) is doing better with his health.  It has been a rough time for him.

Also waiting, My day job is just blocks from there!  Only drawback is the hours of operation are during my sleeping time (night worker), but what the hey!
