sperman Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 I am hearing rumors (from people outside of this sport) that Smith & Wesson is building an indoor range on the property of Charlotte Motor Speedway. Does anyone have any info they would be willing to share? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Merricks Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 That is not completely accurate. There are plans in the works though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFlowers Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Scott, I had heard the same rumors, though I had heard Bruton was the force behind it. Then I saw recently an article where they were breaking ground on a range in Cornelius, NC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sperman Posted February 23, 2011 Author Share Posted February 23, 2011 The range in Cornelius is unrelated. That's a private enterprise putting in a "for public" indoor range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b2alphaplease Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 (edited) Scott, There is a new indoor range under construction at Eagle Rock (around the corner from the speedway). Don't know the opening date. Edited February 23, 2011 by b2alphaplease Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sperman Posted February 23, 2011 Author Share Posted February 23, 2011 Tim, I'm hearing this is something different. Possibly for LE training only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFlowers Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Scott, What I had heard was that Bruton wanted to build a very large modern shooting sports complex and bring in high-end matches to Charlotte. I had heard he had backing from several of the major players in the firearms business as well as all the political pull he has. But no real details beyond that.

sperman Posted February 24, 2011 Author Share Posted February 24, 2011 That would be great if he could pull it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyburg Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 I heard eagle rock training is also involved in it also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sperman Posted February 24, 2011 Author Share Posted February 24, 2011 If Tracy is at the match on Saturday I'll have to ask her if she knows anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
