Any Tyler TGT members around?

[Al Swearengen®]

I just saw the Tyler gun show thread and wonder if you any locals need a shooting buddy. I'm new to Tyler and I just don't anything about the area gunwise.

Thanks!

I'm from Hallsville, about a 50 miles east of you. Member at East Texas Rifle and Pistol Club, just south of Longview.

 

[PopsXD9sc]

There's at least 3 more members in the Longview area and members of the same (and only) gun club.

Well my sons name is Tyler if that helps any But really, i've driven through tyler a couple of times and it seemed to be a pretty nice little town.

There is a shooting range (Shooters I think) on the Loop in Tyler. I go there when I am in town. I only get to Tyler every 10 weeks or so, but it seems to be a nice area. I have a good customer that has invited to take me to the rifle & pistol club near Longview, I need to take him up on that some day.

I really like the Chicken Ranch Sporting Clays place in Frankston about 20 miles south of Tyler .

 

[WhiteLightning]

I shoot at the gun range we have here on the ranch (indoor) and at the Winnsboro Gun Club in Winnsboro. I'm just 25-30 miles north of Tyler.

Hey Al,

I was in Tyler last year, however I am not there anymore. Now I am a little bit closer to Longview, but I still go to Tyler on a pretty regular basis. I have shot IDPA style competitions at both 31 west range in Tyler, and ETRP in Longview. They are both nice ranges, now I just need to find the time and the money to shoot more often. I plan on shooting this weekend in Longview if you are interested. What kind of shooting do you do Al?

Take it easy

Hi jktri, I'm a GSSF (Glock Sport Shooting Foundation) member and have been at their matches every year. I'm more of a range hound...AR15s and Glocks are mostly what I shoot.

If you're around my parts, then I'd be more happy to meet up.

I think there's a show in Longview as we speak, but the rain makes me want to stay in.

Yeah.............yucky out today (Saturday). I plan on going on Sunday but hey there is a show in Tyler next weekend as well.

Rain cancelled the action pistol match at the range today (at least as far as I know) so went to the Gun show instead. Not a lot of large vendor there but did manage to get some badly needed powder for the AR. Maybe Tyler will be better next week. Schramm's is usually there and I'm looking for a new range gun.

The fog did not keep me away from the Longview show. Sold my Marlin 336 44 mag and my Brolin Arms Legend 45. Got a nice Bushmaster from an individual from Tyler.

I am new to this site but am in the white oak/ longview area.
are there any indoor ranges in tyler?
and are there any places to work on low light/ tatical drills?

 

[Bigryan]

i am new to the site myself, i am From just south of Tyler, Tx... there is a indoor range, LockNLoad its a little high too shoot at but overall a nice place...i dont go there that often but have a few times..

 

[Al Swearengen®]

I had just check out Lock N Load right off the Loop. Pretty cool spot. I was the only one there with my AR15 and Glock 27 carry. The pistol side is really advanced in technology when sending out your target: Basically type in the number 4 and number of feet you want to send it out. At the rifle section on the right, you just have to make sure the range is cold before going out to check your holes.

FYI guys, this is going on this weekend: Anyone want to meet up?

Just got on the site like 5 minutes ago, And I am a resident of Tyler, plan on going to the show Saturday, going to be looking for stuff for my future mossberg 500 purchase.

 

[Al Swearengen®]

I picked this up at the Harvey Hall show yesterday: Korean Military 31 round Glock mag in .40S&W.

 

[swsmailman]

Nice purchase Al, how much you pay.

I was going to the show until I got asked to work a 16 hour shift saturday and sunday so I decided I wanted the money instead of spending it.

 

[Al Swearengen®]

I got it for $29...yes I know there are better deals out there, but I wanted to support my local gun show. Plus they had it in .40S&W which is what I mainly shoot. It was my first one here in Tyler.

Parking was free and only $6 at the door. I went around 10am, line was only 5 minutes and inside was packed. I circled around each vendor to find the best deals and found a really good magazine vendor who had almost $2-10 less than other merchants.

More gun stuff compared to jewelry, woodcarvings, etc.

I'd go again. Next time we can meet up swsmailman.

I made it to the show Saturday morning, found and traded for a Yildiz O/U shotgun I had been looking for. Found a dealer with a Taurus 709 Slim with a stainless slide for $369.00. I left with out buying and have been kicking myself...............had the money.........should have bought!
