Mequon - A Mequon couple wants to create an indoor shooting range in Mequon, but future city approvals are needed before they can pull the trigger on their new business venture.
Mequon residents Mark and Cheryle Rebholz said they have noticed a demand for a local Mequon shooting range, as the nearest ranges are in West Allis, Saukville, Richfield and Waukesha. After two years of hunting for a location, they have targeted a warehouse space in the 10400 block of North Port Washington Road.
Their shooting range would have eight shooting lanes, including two for long-range shooting. The business would also have a retail area for gun accessories and classrooms where range safety officers would hold gun safety classes and concealed carry permit classes. Gun sales would not be allowed at the business.
The Rebholzes said Mequon police have already expressed an interest in using the indoor shooting facility, and it may draw interest from other local police departments. The shooting range could also be used by local gun clubs, they said.
