mr_dove is here too? A small world we live in, to be sure. It's me, Tac Four from the 1911 Forum. Your wife tried out my CCW at K2, remember? Too funny!

I like K2, but the hours have me stymied. Twice in a row I showed up and the hours had changed so that they were closed. If they're not open, they won't stay in business.

Went to K2 yesterday with a couple of computer weenie friends of mine. K2 has now become the ammo police. In addition to the 'no reload' policy, they don't allow Wolf ammo and I had to return it to my vehicle. They said somebody's gun blew up with Wolf and then gave me the pitch that the steel cases were no good for my guns because of extractor wear, blah, blah, blah. I didn't have but 18 rounds of non-Wolf 9mm in the range bag and they had none for sale. How do you have ammo restrictions and no 9mm to sell?:shock: You have to bring the ammo in the box, so no pre-loaded mags, either. What prevents anyone from putting different ammo in the factory box I have no idea.

The woman in charge has a pretty heavy-handed attitude. She may have been having a bad day, but it didn't encourage people to hurry on back.

The store is now closed to the public and open only by appointment. You will have to enter the range from the handicap ramp at the front of the location.

Fees have increased for 'non-members' to $16 on the pistol range and $21 on the rifle range.

No off-hand rifle shooting allowed. You have to benchrest the rifle. If you're caught shooting anything but rested, you will be kicked out.

Either K2 is going through another re-org, or they're not going to be around much longer IMHO. I'm certainly not comfortable enough to pay for a membership.

:shock:

Take all the fun right out of shooting dont they.

Just come to one of our shoots instead. With only a few minor rules you can shot whatever the heck you want in whatever position you want.

We have had peoples guns do weird things and seen ammo blow up but what the heck you can still come back...

Last time I was there and asked, you could shoot rifles off hand on the pistol range. Nothing bigger than .308 Win, though. (Noise concerns for the other patrons, not backstop concerns is what I was told.)

There is some lady there who seems to have been having bad days for a very long time. All the other employees have always been friendly, even if they want to go on about steel cases.

Now K2's web page says "No longer open to the general public". I figure that means they're about five minutes away from not being open to anyone.

Anyone happen to have the scoop?

I drive by it everyday that place has been a ghost town for several months now. I would say they are out of business.

Well here is the deal with K2 just as I said on page one of this thread they bellied up. I wish I had the money to buy it but I don't. Let's all hope that somebody with half a brain buys it and runs it properly this time.

Found out some more info it appears as Ken is trying to sell it or franchise it. If it gets franchised it will reopen under new management soon. If he sells it who knows how long it will take the new owners to open it up.

I'm shocked. I never saw it coming. :roll:

[cheapo]

It didn't say how much he was selling if for. Just curious.
