Can't wait! I was at Blythe's in Valpo yesterday cringing at the range etiquette.
OMG more guns into NWI......I have my tin-foil hat...now to go under the bed with milk and cookies....I'll be safe as a fetus in the womb
According to the MSM this means we're all infinitely more likely to die by a gun! /sarcasm
Did you know that the reason Chicago is the murder capital of the country is because of their close proximity to Indiana and our "lax" gun laws?
...when I think about this it makes my head hurt. Let's say 1% of the total guns sold in Indiana each year walk across the Illinois border and find their way into Chicago (and 1% is probably WAY high). I wonder why the other 99% of the guns that stay behind here in Indiana don't cause us to have a substantially higher murder rate than Chicago, if the guns are the culprit as the MSM would have us believe.
Eh, anyway... I don't know how I got off onto this tangent.

The PB in Carmel is a mess. Customers and disgruntled employees getting shot, zero discounts for serious buyers, and on and on and on. To quote a former manager and respected firearm person, "I would take my business else where," among other things.
This is good, Blythes charges full price per head in the same lane, rip off city.

Using my Google-Fu I couldn't find anything about shootings or disgruntled employees... and since you've been there from day one I suspect you would know.Hmmm, i would be interested in a little bit more detailed information about your discourse. I work at the Carmel location. I've been there since we opened the doors. The place is not a mess, actually it's rather tidy and well lit. We have had zero employees get shot. There was a customer in our first couple of months that managed to shoot himself in the hand while removing a .25 caliber pistol from his range bag that he KNEW was unloaded. As far as our pricing goes, that is set by corporate. And our former managers, well one is currently the manager of the Greenwood location and that was the original intent for him all along. Our second manager, I'm not sure what he is doing these days. And we our currently on our third manager. We did have an assistant manager who is no longer with us and I completely understand his reasons why. He is a member on here and is a stand up guy. Don't mistake me for some corporate talking head, I'm just a part time guy. It's my hobby job. Anyone can have a bad experience anywhere I guess.
[FONT=&][FONT=&]If you want mediocre service and high prices then this is the place for you. Your typical franchise establishment, workers that don't care and provide no service. I would only recommend this place if you know what you want, don't mind paying more, and just want to be in and out. [/FONT]
[FONT=&]The best is when they have these Glock "events". They hype it up, and everything is "hush hush" with prices when you call to inquire. You get there and nobody knows what's going on, you ask for a price on a specific glock, and they go and look at this sheet ... And give you a price that is HIGHER then locally owned shop/range prices! LOL. For example, a glock 42 at this event was around 450, lolololol. I can get a brand new 42 for less than 400 local in town![/FONT]
[FONT=&]If you want friendly service that is also very knowledgeable and the best prices in town on firearms then go to Tims shooting academy.[/FONT]
I have shot and purchased at "Blys"
I have always experienced excellent service.
The personal are always friendly and helpful.
the range is top quality.
I also shoot and "Kodiak" range is South Bend.
The same quality service.
if you think their fees are high.
Then you have a great market to open.
Then you can charge as little as everyone wants.
OH let see how long you can afford to stay open.
