Small Business in Michiana are feeling the impact from inflation and the pandemic, with some closing their doors.

Point Blank Shooting Range in Benton Township has been open for more than 16 years.

Now, they’ve closed, because of staffing shortages, rising costs, and struggles from the pandemic.

ABC 57 News reports that regulars came to purchase firearms before the permanent closure.

Point Blank says that they’ll be auctioning off all items that were not sold.

They are located at 1340 Territorial Road in Benton Township.

The auction is set to take place on Monday, July 25, at 10 a.m.

With the hyperinflation we live with today the cost of ammo is very expensive to go to the range. A way to save money and practice at the same time is, ( i target Pro ) Laser beam firearm training system.

i Target allows you to practice dry fire with an actual firearm, by using the iTarget app and a laser bullet. Safe and effective training. See videos on YouTube about iTarget Pro. { Be ready to protect yourself and others with practice }

Indeed, even .22LR is about $0.08/round at best. It used to be under $0.03/round before the left started messing with ammo manufacturers and the supply chain. What used to be a fun and inexpensive afternoon out with the kids is now a rather pricey endeavor. Thanks Brandon!
