I recently visited the gun range at the bass pro shops at grapevine mills mall. I don't work there or have any affiliation with them other than a recent gun purchase which needs its own thread.
to be frank, I did do some research online, here and at other websites w opinions and reviews of gun ranges near me. I didn't really want to join a club.
based upon what I saw online, I thought that my 1 hour of range credit would be a waste of time with the "facts" I read:
- confusing old panel for target movement w a keypad
- dim and or poorly maintained range
- snappy ass young know it all kid w an attitude
- full lanes and a wait
honestly, I didn't experience any of that, quite the opposite!
The very-helpful older gentleman behind the counter who was OC, could not have been more pleasant. Range was only about 7 lanes and one other lane was full. Granted I went on a weekday at noon.
i asked if there was a guide to the target system and he said naw, they are easy. Those old keypad systems are gone. "Everything was completely tore out and replaced w all new 2 weeks ago"
sweet! So now you locals near grapevine can get some practice. I thought the range was well lit for my needs. Maybe everyone already knows this and I'm posting yet again to the wrong thread, but seems relevant. At $13 per hour, still seems affordable to the occasional ranger.
