Looks like a nice place. Anyone know why it went belly-up?

 

[Shady]

my guess would be to much overhead.

The original owner was a former Army officer and he ran things well. It was a great gun range, although the hired help in the rest of the store was not so great. He died and left it to his daughter. That's when it went downhill, quickly. But that's just my opinion, from having been there many times and either purchasing or trying to purchase something. Looking back, it was mostly trying to purchase something but some dimwit behind the counter thinking he knew more about what I needed than I did caused me to walk out. The last time I was in there was more than 3 years ago and I have no intention of going back.

Do you remember that original owners name?? I think I might know him.

If I had a couple million dollars laying around, and really wanted to live in the armpit of Texas, this could be a great opportunity.

No, sorry, I don't know.

I haven't been there in years. It used to be a nice place for a first date. But when I was down that way more often, I got to shoot at another range for free. It never seemed bad, but way too clean and bright and like they'd have a lot of overhead.

As a previous vendor to them, I agree.

James was the last name. I have two of them, and a few others, but I don't remember which was which.

Like others said, it used to be nice under the original owner, but the last 2-3 years they treat everyone like they are doing you a favor when they let you shoot. They close early, and when you complain, they could care less. I used to have a membership, and when the daughter took over, they basically told me my almost 350 points were worthless. The A/C and target controls on all but a few lanes were always out. Just borderline hostile employees just took all the fun out of going there. I had a couple of officers ask me where I shoot because they too were disgusted with the place, I sent them to Shoot Point Blank. When they don't even take care of our men in blue and our Vets, then something is very wrong.

Shoot Point Blank, really good, but a little expensive on lane fees. But it is clean, well lit, and the people are friendly...everything they used to be at the Arms Room, very sad what has happened to it. Hopefully whoever buys it is competent and realizes being friendly, helping the shooters, and maintaining the shooting lanes is the path to the promised land. I hope to see it back to its original standards.

I went a few of times a few years back. Then a couple of years ago they jacked up the prices and didn't want to pay the increased fees for not as good service.

Err, the "armpit" is Jasper. Vidor is the A-hole of Texas ! Dickinson is a fairly nice area.

Actually, I have; but I wasn't paying attention. . . . . Lived in Midland and in Hobbs.
