Or a dust (made up of unburned powder) explosion. I'll be interested in seeing the official finding and hoping everyone recovers fully.LEO 229 wrote:Almost sounds like a gas leak.Somebody shooting tracer rounds???
Having lost my part time gig at Shooters Paradise I know that fires suck. Does anyone know what kind of backstop they had?
:what:That can't be right.The backstop is 40-45 degree metal that angles the bullet up towards the celing

The backstop is 40-45 degree metal that angles the bullet up towards the celing (not sure happends to the bullet after that)... Bay 1 is for the CCW class/small arms, bay 2 are for small arms and, bay 3 were the fire started are where they put rifle shooters. I shoot a rifle there and they always stick me in bay 3. Ive seen bullets shot fromrifleshit the stop and cause a spark. this would ignite any gas leak...
My buddy works here and hes not yet responded to my txt msg.
All true:exclaim:, however, they are less expensive than Superior. I priced the Glock 36 at Superior. It was $589:X. I went to check the price at A&P before buying. Good thing. I got it at A&P for $539.He just described the backstop at every range where I have ever shot, including all three major ones here in Southside Hampton Roads. They all direct the bullet up, and then loop it back down behind the backstop into a giant pile of lead.
This is a nice example of why I stopped going to A&P though. In terms of physical layout, it's the best indoor range around here. But the most of the staff always seemed pretty complacent about gun safety and general housekeeping, and God help you if you try to correct them if they make a mistake. So I've made do with the 15 yard range at Superior.

Maybe a diagram will help settle this dispute. I think its similar to this:

UNBELIEVABLE that a salesman in this day and age would think/act like that. Please tell me after purchasing from the Armory you went back to A&P just to try out some holsters for your new gun:lol:I will not go to A&P for one reason....I was in the market for a new pistol. I waited my turn at the counter. When asked if I could be helped I asked to see the New Kimber Ultra CarryII in stainless... I was told by the man behind the counter( tall bald and name starts with a D) and I quote "NO you dont look like you can afford it so I am not wasting my time!" Needless to say I ended up buying from The Armory. That is the only place I will buy my firearms.
I know this is not a b*&^% session and rag on anybody! Just had to let yall know!
