I usually shoot at American Shooting Center, Top Gun or Carter's Country. I've been hearing good things about Shiloh Shooting Range so I'll have to try them soon.

The Shooters Club in Fort Worth, which I found out. You can't shoot anything over a 44 Magnum or a 22 rifle. Other than that, it seems to be a good range. http://www.theshootersclub.com/

I go to Winchester Gallery, in Fort Worth they have handguns for rent, rifle lanes. http://www.winchestergallery.com/

I took a level lll class at LSGR and like I've said before It was excellent, and when I want to train I will go back. I go to Eagle peak regularly and have had very few problems with them in the past. from what I understand the ownership has changed a few times as well, I don't know how recently the ownership has changed but it could have after the CHL class you attended Sig fiend. I'm not sure tho just an idea. I go there because they have a nice rifle range that goes from 50 to 300 yards. The only one around here I wont go to is Astro range, and that is because I have heard way to many bad things about them. Stan's is close to Astro and is not bad at all, I go out there every now and then. I would go to LSGR all the time but I can't drive out there from Ceadar park every time I shoot.

We've gone to Gun Emporium in Conroe a few times. It's outdoors with markers set from 50, 100, 150 and 200 yards. The cost is $8 per gun w/ no time limit. We like it because we can take our kids (the oldest is 8) which we can't do at any of the other ranges due to age restrictions. The staff their is nice and really helpful with us newbies. They also have a skeet range as well.
We went to Shiloh and really liked their setup as well, I just wish I had had more time to chat instead of having to head straight home (sitter).
The only other range I've been to is Shooter's Station in Conroe. I like their range , but my wife and I had a bad experience with the employees acting too good for our time. That however is more of a personal thing and not something that would stop me from recommending them to others. I believe their fee is around $12 per shooter.

My personal view on it is this. If I'm just going to shoot just one pistol or my shotgun or take the kids, I'll go to the gun Emporium. If I'm going to shoot more than 1 or 2 of my guns, I'll go to Shiloh. Actually, I'd probably go to Shiloh more if it was a little bit closer.

Default Dallas Fort Worth Gun Range List (including 2 FMJ friendly outdoor ranges)

Or just information about other ranges in the area that I've never been to. I'm in Irving, so closer is better.

All of the public gun ranges and private gun ranges I can find in Dallas Fort Worth. I think a few more exist.

Only 2 outdoor full metal jacket ranges I can find. Gibson's Outpost in Mesquite and Magnum in Sanger (allow both magnetic and non magnetic full metal jacket.

Indoor rifle ranges only allow non magnetic full metal jacket in DFW.

Private ranges for 'rapid' fire.

See website and share.

We have a range at the end of our street, about three hundred yards from the front door. Allows any weapon up to and including .50 caliber. Full auto is fine. Open for use 16-18 hours a day. Only problem is its located a long ride from Texas!!

Oh, and the ammo is free!!

Copper-plated, steel-jacketed, lead core. Very common on Wolf and Barnaul (aka Brown/Silver/Golden Bear) ammunition.
