Thunder Alley in Lincoln has been busy!

<< < (2/3) > >>

bkoenig:
There was definitely a demand for a good shooting range in Lincoln.  It was never busy under the old ownership, but frankly the place was a dump.  I'm glad he's making a go of it.

Dan W:
The previous management, going back several owners, was not very user friendly. Even grizzled gun shop commandos didn't find it a nice place to visit often without pair of hip waders and a gas mask

I suggested that he needs to get the building owner to expand on the west side where there is a fair amount of open area between the building and the sidewalk.  I was kind of joking, but sort of serious too.  I imagine the problem is that, while the weather is nasty outside, he is busy but that changes drastically in the summer.  It probably would not be worth the investment to expand.

I also asked if he considered online reservations.  Something with strict rules such as you have to pre-pay, if you are not there on time or even early, you lose the $ and the lane is rented to someone else.  It sounded like a good idea, but Randy explained the considerably issues with doing that, and I don't blame him for not taking that on at this time.

Randy actually stays pretty steady during the nicer weather too, alot of people that i talk to like being able to not have to deal with the wind/heat/grumpy *****y neighbors, etc.

also, for the lazier ones, they like having an operational range that they down have to walk all the way down just to hang a target.

My wife actually prefers shooting there as opposed to going to the Ikes with me.
