That's why they are BPS, and not Cabela's ;)

Also might be the only chance to get some 22lr before the locusts.

The general manager told us they only make a special opening for 3 hours that all sold will be for a Local Conservation program but is for general public, nos for family or friends. They also will not publish the date and time to the media because the last time go out if control and need to be only 3 hours.

Yeap, they made the Job Fair in august, 2,500 people in both days.

They have now all employes trained, preparing and filling the store but keep an eye in to the website because they will need more people later.

Fair was 3 days.

Employees are still training.

can't wait. I'll be driving by every day as I leave work; must...learn...self...control!!!!

Magnum Shooting Center is also going in near Bass Pro but don't look for them until summer of 2014. 24 pistol/rifle lanes, two 50 yard pistol/rifle lanes and six 100 yard pistol/rifle lanes. Membership is pricey with one time registration fees of $299 plus $28.50 per month for individual membership. No military/LEO discounts that I saw on their website.

Looks like a great facility and nice fit with Bass Pro shop, but registration fees make you think real hard about how many times you need to use the range to get your monies worth.
