he specifically told me the rifle range indoor would be 45.....since you seem to be connected to him - maybe you can correct him so the next call he makes has a different result

They are 25 yards. Thanks for the follow up.
I know what you mean...but its better than 0 degrees and a 40 mph wind!

Reds indoor range in Austin has a 6 - 100 yard lanes, so its possible and liked. I agree shooting outside in the extreme heat becomes exhausting quickly and It would be nice for sighting in as well. I was hoping for it having atleast a few 100 yard lanes.
I worked for the security company that was attached to the DFW gun range, we used the short range for multiple targets and moving which was nice a lot better than just shooting straight at a single target. The employees were nice and helpful, enjoyed hanging out and shooting the shit.

Hey, Sgt. I was affiliated with DFW and SWGPS, too. I was a co-owner of Swg for a period, and ran the training at the range.

I worked for them from Feb 2009 till March 2010, right before they got sold.

I could pay CASH for the $5k membership tomorrow if I felt like it, but that price is just ridiculous. The list of what you get for the $5k is a joke, like all of the "exclusive" membership benefits are worth that kind of money. Every gun range I have been to down here is a joke with its membership prices and prices in general. Its just like the hunting leases down here, they are overpriced and people still pay because they think it is the only option they have.
The High Caliber Memberships are not for everyone. The country club membership concept is becoming more common for new ranges. There will be people that want an exclusive environment and for everyone else there will be a plethora of public lanes. In 2000, I had a client that purchased a $150,000 membership to Dallas National. Dallas National only had individual memberships and his wife wanted to golf too, so she got a $150,000 membership of her own. Their membership gave them access.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, so everyone play nice.
The DFW area is under-serviced for indoor ranges and EVERYONE benefits from this range even if they don't go there.

My In-Laws also belong to several exclusive Golf Clubs in DFW, and the difference is they are not open to the public. This club is open to the public, so their is little exclusivity. I and others I think cannot see what high-level membership benefit is. Yes we saw the list, but I myself do not see why anyone would pay for that list, in fact I do not even see why anyone would go membership for a 25 yard range at all.
Good luck though, more ranges is always better than less ranges.
how would you know whether he can afford it or not?
just because you can pay for something doesnt mean it's a smart investment

Since no one is forced to go there and join, when someone uses language like "retarded" and calls people who would sign up "idiots" it tells me all I need to know.
Depends. If you plan on shooting there for like 20+years, its a steep up front cost, but gives you a lot of benefits to enjoy during that time and assuming prices will go up, having a transferable one that you might be able to sell for more than you paid or transfer to a family member...
Long term planning FTW.
I appreciate the good luck gesture. Don't forget you have exlusive lanes, you are always first for the others, you have showers, lockers, conference room to entertain clients, free food and beverage, etc. Check out Scottsdale Gun Club and their success with a similar product.
I am only familiar with the Golf Version, and it offers more ( swimming, tennis, etc), but also costs a whole lot more.
I do like the idea though, and have been to the Club out in Vegas during SHOT, as well as one in VA. My biggest gripe of public ranges is the rif-raf they attract. Membership only is a nice option.
