Update on Jackson Arms

[gose]

I went to JA yesterday and (like always) I ask them if they have any news about the new range.
They are definitely getting kicked out of their current location at 4/30. They "hope" to be up and running at the new place at mid-May, but said that end of May probably is more realistic.

Where's their new location going to be?

[bwiese]

New location's apparently gonna be over on Utah St. last I heard..

[highspeed11]

In the City? Are you serious? That would be perfect for me. I work/live near there. Then again, I don't see an indoor range getting approval here. Don't be pulling my leg...

i think he is talking about utah street in s.s.f by the holiday inn

[highspeed11]

Ah, that would make more cents...

That's what I've been told as well, and since the construction in under way, I doubt it will change

Btw, it's Utah Avenue, not Street, isn't it?

They're getting kicked out???? I was just down there today. Seems like the new place is going to have a few indoor rifle lanes as well.... finally get to try out that Socom!

Why are they getting kicked out? Seems like thier inventory lately has been pretty low. Is it because of the move? Been going to City Arms instead, they've got a TON of cool stuff out there!

Well, I don't think they're getting kicked out per se, the owner of the place raised the rent 3x or so, so it became financially impossible to stay.

If they're going to allow rifles or not is still unconfirmed. They hope they will be able to allow them, but until the range is completed they don't know.

was there friday. they're hoping to be in by mid-may, as the original poster said. they'll allow the 5.7x28mm round, as their backstop will be 'better.' i'm guessing they'll allow rifles, too.

[chickenfried]

Possibility of allowing .308 was mentioned.

[gose]

I was there yesterday, "Probably .223" was the message of the day....

[chickenfried]

Just got back from Jackson Arms, asked about the .223 they mentioned the possibility of .308. We should meet up there one day, Gose.

Today is beer night, Sat and Sun are IPSC at Richmond and Monday is Reed's for the League, so Friday or Tue-Fri next week.

Your choice.

when i was at reed's on saturday, i saw a bunch of shotgun shells downrange. so, i'm guessing that they allow it. jackson supposedly allows it on paper, unless they don't allow it now.

and jackson allows 454casull and 44mag. i was standing next to a guy firing both one time. ugh...thought there was thunder indoors.
