That's because questionable characters can't read maps to even know where Tom Bean,Tx is! My Grandmother was born there.
If I shoot indoors I go to the Shooting Place in Burleson,it is small but with A/C,I think they have some guns that you can rent but you have to buy ammo from them to shoot them. Outdoors,Alpine or at a friends farm near me.

Why? Because you want a range nazi all over you when you shoot?

Oh please, I take it you don't have a full auto rifle?

Why no I don't have full-auto rifles, but a good 90% of the rifles I own are of the black rifle type and are more economical to shoot with FMJ.

The comment is based on my observation that the ghetto crowd likes to show up with their ARs, AKs, or other rifle flavor of the month and milsurp ammo and blaze away. They typically lack good gun safety discipline, and generally don't tend to show up at places were they would be forced to buy more expensive ammo or get hounded my range officers or other shooters to be safe. Does that statement qualify you in some way? Or do you own black rifles and like to shoot them with FMJ, full auto or not?

The no FMJ is not a good thing in my mind for the reason I stated above about only black rifles myself. I think range choice is a matter of what folks feel comfortable with. Some folks like going to a range where they feel they don't have to be ready for a trip to Beirut just to pop off a few rounds. If that means "range nazis" then more power too them. If it means joining a private range to get away from poor gun handling folks, fine.

I also shoot at the Bullet Trap, probably be headed over there later today.

It's Gibson's Outpost in Mesquite for my rifles (FMJ friendly) and Garland Public Shooting for my pistols.

Yep, I like Shooters club. Small, family owned and operated. I used to go to Quail Creek, but they’ve gotten way to restrictive and some of the RO are a-holes, publicly humiliating people for honest (non safety issue) mistakes. Like taking a second or two, too long to get off of the concrete.

I shoot primarily at TargetMaster in Garland. I've been a member there since August 1981 (when they were on Miller Road). They have guns to rent there, too.
