Outdoor ranges in North Dallas?

[bruced]

Hi folks- are there any outdoor gun ranges close to North Dallas? I figure there's a large demand there but haven't found much. I'm tired of the indoor gig with the thousands of rules that go along with them.

See the Stickies for Dallas & Fort Worth. The map shows pins, click on those.

Got it. Hard to find any setup for long range in the "city."

The map does not include Armadillo Gun Range in Nevada or B-Tactical in Caddo Mills.

Fossil Pointe Shooting Grounds (north of Denton). 100 and 200 yard ranges. Plus they have 800 yards range that are open every other weekend. Check their website.

I've never been to Armadillo but a coworker uses that range. If I recall, it's not long range for rifle. You shoot through a tube so your shot stays in the range. I don't know the distance but I don't believe it's near 100 yards.

Sounds like someone needs to buy land off 121 or Preston and put up a new range! :]

Too much construction for longevity. Neighborhoods would be around any range built there within 5 years.

Plus the land prices in that area wouldn't be feasible unless you're willing to pay a few grand for an annual membership with a very step price for range time. Yes, it would be like the old TI gun range in Allen years ago. Eventually the farm land was sold and houses built. Then home owners complained about stray bullets and noise so it was closed, abated and turned into a park.

Rifle range has lanes for 50 yd and 100 yd. A longer range is in the plans.

It would have to be unincorporated land. If it got that busy, I'm sure the high prices for the land would make for an easy sale.

Thanks, hadn't heard of these!

If you're looking at B-Tactical in Caddo Mills then there's also Ammo Depot in Caddo Mills with an outdoor range.

What are the rules for B Tactical? Any moving while shooting or shot speed restrictions?

I need to check them out too. 200 yards is no problem, but I haven't shot over 300 yards since the army.

Hey thanks for sharing. Didn't know about them and I am not that far away. Ugh that means I've been spending too much time at the indoor ranges again.

At the recent BigTown gun show we stopped and talked with the owner of Lonestar Gun Club. They're in Mesquite and have a 600 yard range. I've never been there so I have no recs for them but the owner seemed like a good guy. Might be worth contact them/him to see if they have day passes, just saying.

I'm done with Frisco Gun Club. Fossile Pointe and Elm Fork from now on. Fortunately I reload and don't shot much FMJ anymore.

I'm not going to slow down on the FMJ I shoot. Just need to keep a closer eye on these ranges that seem to change their minds like they do their diapers.

I went to the Frisco Gun Club yesterday (a Thursday) at 11AM, there was a 3 HOUR wait for the rifle range. WTF?? Great to have a nice range so close to home, sucks you can never get in.
