If yer gonna shoot at Alpine go during the week... To many retards that shouldnt even own a gun out there on weekends... They also allow no FMJ rifle...
I shoot at the Arlington Sportsmans club.. Our range is located in Mansfield..Great place to shoot.. Costs $75 per year and $10 more for a spouse.. They did just go up on the initiation fee tho... Believe its around $300 to join.. Plenty of skeet, trap and sporting clays.. Also pistol and rifle ranges.. Organized BP, Cowboy Action, shotgun steel etc..

I got a range card for out there. Been a few times when we were up visiting my inlaws prior to relocating to Dallas. Last time I went, they don't allow FMJ for rifles.
They have a small shotgun area, rifle to 100 yards and pistols to 25 I think. The pistol line features individual stalls with a brass catching screen trap set-up. THe times I went the folks on the rifle line were okay, the prohibition on FMJ sort of keeps the ghetto crowd down on that line. The pistol line is a differient story though depending on when I went during the week or weekend. Out there once and the pistol line was nice, two other times it was sort of like a reality show in how not to handle guns. Fondest two memories are the gang bangers with they shiney pistols (all were chromed) firing two stalls down from me. There targets were at 5 yards, mine at 20 and their rounds were hitting at 15 in front of my target. Second one was some college age guys with their women. Teaching them to shoot. Girl has a loaded glock in her hand and her phone rings. So she puts it under her arm and walks around behind the line talking on her phone until it dropped. We left after that. Like any public range, you get a good crowd and a bad crowd depending on the day. The overall range facilities are decent, the building itself floods so its got a nice moldy smell going or did. The have a small shop with some ammo, weapons, and accessories for sale. They do offer a CHL class as well on occasssion, or did. The staff is okay to indifferient unless you show up with alot of black rifles, then expect to get questioned and maybe probd to make sure you don't have any FMJ on or in you. My last visit was about a year ago, so things could have changed in that time. Malladus

I have 2 words that will sound VERY appealing in this heat.
AIR CONDITIONING DFW Gun Range off Mockingbird is air conditioned, most aren't (not even the Bullet Trap). I figure if your gonna shell out the money to shoot and for ammo, might as well be comfortable and out of the heat. BTW they also have a good selection in rentals.

I've been goin' out to Ralph's Range in Tom Bean last several range outings. Kinda small but it's a private range. I've yet to run into any questionable characters and I like that it is pretty laid back. Tannerite friendly too
