    That being said:

    THURS 9/20 THE RIFLE RANGE WILL OPEN AT 1PM.

    We had to schedule repairs because unfortunately people are still sneaking steel core in and shooting it.

    Yeah, Wolf, ___ bear, and other steel ammo typicaly uses a bi-metal jacket that can harm baffles and such. Most indoor places don't allow steel in any form.

    Sucks that people cant be honest and just buy some ammo there or just get some xm193 for god sake, why waste your m885 or punish your gun with cheap steel that is not that accurate.

    Rifle rounds that are steel core aka "penetrator" will go right through the traps. A few weeks ago we had the rifle range closed because someone had shot up the traps so bad we needed to do a full replacement on three of them.

    Some people think its funny to circumvent the rules and hide the ammo from us, it causes lots of damage and in extreme cases can ricochet and kill someone.... Either way not a good story.

    Sorry to hear such issues with the clients and ammo causing damage.

    It's all part of business, just sucks when we have to shut down and inconvenience other shooters.

    Made my first trip to Blue Core this weekend. I had been to the building before it became Blue Core and I must say, what an improvement over what used to be there!!!! Didn't visit the range this time but I thought the shop was awesome. I was greeted as I walked through the door, which has never happened to me at a Gunstore like this before. The guys behind the counter didn't act like they were too busy to help like so many other gun stores. They were actually happy to help! Very friendly service!

    I think this will become my favorite, most frequented store. Semi-auto pistol selection is great (and priced well). Black Rifle selection is GREAT. Not a huge selection of AR accessories but better than the other stores in this neck-of-the-woods. Defensive ammo selection was great. Nice selection of bags but they could use a few more holsters. If there are any ladies reading this, I think they have the biggest selection of CCW purses and bags of any store I have been to in the metro area. (I was considering a present for the wife )

    Anyone know how busy do they get in the evening? I live right down the road and have thought about heading over but figured it would be packed. Then I remember I have beer in the fridge and forget to call them. ;-)

    It depends on the evening. Tues is ladies night (ladies pay no lane fees) so it tends to be a bit busier. If there are classes going it can be busy, but usually during mid week around 5-6 you can walk in and there might be a 10-15 minute wait.

    Took a few college buddies shooting for their first time at BlueCore last night and we were all quite pleased. I am even happier that they are a whole 5 minutes from my front door! In the summer I usually drive up to buffalo creek but for a range this close to my house I sure as hell am happy about it.

    Went by at 1100 today and the waiting area was packed. Asked someone waiting how long it was and she said 45 mins. so I left. I haven't gone there since the craziness started, so is this typical?

    A 45 minute wait to target shoot a pistol at an indoor range on a Friday early afternoon?! No comment.
