HOT BRASS WEST SPRINGFIELD LICENSE
Thus, there are often a variety of license plates seen in the large parking lot, not to mention a very diverse client base, said Knapik, adding that while sport shooting has always been fairly popular, it is becoming much more so, involving men, as it has historically, but now also women, couples, even businesses looking for a new and different way to do some team-building work. “There are several private clubs in this region, but no public ranges,” she explained, adding that this is the only facility that fits this description within a roughly 100-mile radius.

Together, these many components are meeting or exceeding lofty goals set when the ceremonial ribbon was cut, said Knapik, adding that, overall, the ambitious venture was launched out of perceived need for these various services, and the need has been verified. Within those two ventures, there are many smaller divisions, or revenue streams, if you will, from the indoor firearm and bow ranges to ‘license to carry’ gun-safety courses held every other Sunday from a growing number of events - there have been several bachelor parties, for example - to the gun sales themselves, which have been steady if not spectacular since Donald Trump was elected president and a huge threat to gun accessibility removed (more on that later). “We have a lot of people come in, rent the 50-cal, and get pictures and video with it, because it’s not often you see one of those.” There are actually two businesses located at once was an auto-body shop on Main Street - Hot Brass, a new venture, and a retail firearms component known as Guns Inc., launched by Knapik’s parents, David and Cheryl Knapik, and formerly operated out of a small storefront farther down Main Street. The BA 50 is just one element of what has become a large, multi-faceted operation.

“It’s very popular - people love firing it,” said Kendall Knapik, manager of this family business, noting that visitors can rent it for $35, plus $10 for every round (the ammunition is expensive) - or fire it just once or twice - and people of all ages and persuasions have done just that. It is now one of the star attractions at the Hot Brass indoor firearm and bow range in West Springfield, a public facility, which opened its doors late last summer. It fires - quite loudly - a huge projectile that makes a very large hole in the paper target, and is touted by its maker for its extreme accuracy. The BA 50, as it’s called, weighs 30 pounds and is nearly five feet long. 50 caliber sniper rifle made by Connecticut-based Bushmaster Firearms.

They just call it the ‘50-cal.’ That’s short - although not much shorter - for. Thus farm the ventures are on target when it comes to established goals and patterns of growth. being the other - operating out of a former auto body shop on Main Street. And it’s one of two businesses - a gun retail shop called Guns Inc. It’s the only indoor shooting range within a few hours’ drive. Hot Brass in West Springfield has done that laterally - thousands of bangs actually. New Businesses like to start off with a bang. Kendall Knapik says Hot Brass meets a recognized need in the region for a public shooting range.
