    Point Blank

    Has anybody been to the new Point Blank indoor shooting range in Blue Ash?
    I hear it's much nicer than Target World. They advertise 4 rifle lanes for up to .308 caliber rifles. I have been looking for some place I can shoot my 30-30. Let me know what you think of the place.

    I was there last weekend with my dad, it is nice as heck! Inside is super clean, the owner has been at the door to greet you, the selection of guns is pretty damn amazing. Now to the good stuff the range is nice there is 2 seperate ranges. Both have 10 lanes, the one on the left has the 4 rifle lanes and the better pulley system for your target. It's digital and tells you the distance. Talked to the owner he was talking about doing it throughout the range though. The harmonics inside are awesome, unlike targetworld where a shot will echo. They are very flat and don't hurt your ears, even my AR15 with a big crazy compensator is somewhat bare able inside there. Deff go check it out its really nice and I think worth the little bit extra if you don't wanna be in a shit hole. Sorry if alot of that is a run on sentence I'm half awake at work on my phone

    An extra $5-10 is worth it to me for better and safer experience.

    I have not but my fater has been. He said something about not ever going back to Target World. Plus only 5 min from the house. He said it was a very nice and clean range.

    x2. The biggest thing for me is the selection of rentals they have to shoot. Kimbers, HK's, and even have an M1A.

    They have a safety class you have to go through before you can use the range. And for that matter you dont have to be at the range to be shot.

    As I understang it they actually have a range safety officer on duty...on the range instead of a cashier behind a window with his back to the range like that last time I was at Target World.

    They have a range officer in the ranges at all times.

    Haven't been yet, but believe the owner has some former association with Target World.

    After reading this thread yesterday I had to go check this place out and try out my new 1911. All I can say is wow! Extremely nice facility, nice selection of rentals, safe, clean, professional staff, and the customer service is TOP NOTCH. Todd the GM even tweaked the trigger spring on the new piece and adamantly refused to take any sort of tip or payment. He simply stated that my thank you was plenty of payment. (If you want a badass trigger job on a Glock this guy is unreal!) IMHO the prices are fair for the service and safety provided. I have no doubt that they would give the boot to anyone being stupid. If you have not been there yet is worth a visit for sure

    Dropped by this morning and sent about 700 rounds down range.
    Enjoyed the facility. It's clean the people were friendly and the range officers did their jobs, but weren't crazy overbearing or rude.

    Folks working the counter had a little trouble keeping the different groups that arrived at the same time straight and were really slow at getting folks on the lane.
    But no big deal really.
    For being such a new facility they had a really nice selection of firearms and accessories. Their prices were decent for the most part, better can be had with some digging, though some were outrageous, $180 for a stripped Spikes lower receiver!!

    Hi
    I've been 3 times now and getting on to a range is a hassle.... No order and it takes forever.... Have to give license every time...
    Only saw range officer once to tell someone there time was up!! Not on the range other than that.

    Still nicer than target world.... but pricey. Love the dividers between shooters... no stray shells coming over.

    If it takes people from Target World might go back there... There are unsafe people everywhere....

    Probably go back today discount time at lunch

    Has anyone been there recently and rented anything? I'm trying to find out if they have any compacts to rent. Really thinking about the XD-S .45.

    Or better yet just go buy it. Not like u will shoot a compact often, let alone .45acp at 19bux a box. How often do you shoot now?
