Glad everyone's ok. Hopefully it'll get rebuilt real quick.

On the bright side... we can look forward to a heck of a grand re-opening party!

Try to look at it this way: the insurance will pay to re-build, and the range will be fixed right and start fresh. I know it is real hard, but try to put the best face on ugly events. And again, at least no lives were lost. Best of luck re-building!

That IS the bright side.

After reviewing the damage we will be out of the shooting business for a couple of months. However, we are still in the training business. I have classrooms, and I am working on a range to use temporarily to qualify folks until we get the OK from the structural engineers to use our 5-lane range. Those lanes could be up in a couple of weeks too.

The showroom and retail end should be up quickly too.

Anyone know of a range that we could rent lanes from when we need to qualify folks?

TX - I have contacts at The Shooter's Club, Winchester, and Elk Castle - all of those are Tarrant county. Maybe a little too far for convenience, but I can make some calls if you want to come west. Best of luck with the repairs!

Now, the most important detail... Were any guns harmed in the making of these photos?

I'm real glad to hear no loss of life. Be sure to keep us posted on the re-opening. I'll stop by and spend some $$$. I appreciate the good work you and your team do!

Thanks.

They are a blast to stop by and kill about 4 hrs with. It's a conversation trap...you'll be swapping bull stories all afternoon, but its a great place.
