RCC (Rumor Control Central)

[busykngt]

I keep hearing rumors about another range (I shoot handguns mostly) opening up around the north Dallas area. One day it’s going to be in McKinney, on another day it’s going to be in Anna or Melissa, on a different day, someplace further out… And if an opening date is ever talked about, it’s whispered too low for me to hear…

Anybody ever hear these rumors? (And is there any truth to it?)
Seems like the way the north Texas area has grown, it'd be a good opportunity for someone - expecially if they owned a piece of trash land (i.e., not good for farming) somewhere.

no but i will keep an eye out. thats in my neck of the metroplex.

 

[txinvestigator]

Its Frisco. All I can say right now.

I heard something about the bullet trap guys opening a monster range in frisco

 

[txinvestigator]

I know the man (at least A man) who is opening a range in Frisco. It is not the Bullet Trap. BT may well be planning one, but not to my knowledge.

I don't know about a range up there, but my choice would be in Anna or Melissa if they are hot.

Maybe this reply should be in the Man Cave...

Daryl Parker from Top Shot 2 is supposed to be opening a Top Shot themed range in McKinney some time this year.

Looks like it could get crowded up there...

 

[comp73]

Yes please and the sooner the better

I'm moving to Frisco in Aug, so very excited about that possibility. Really happy about the McKinney range too.
For so long it was go to Plano, this will be great!

I joined last week. They hope to open in November. It sounds like a good place. They are also on Facebook as Triple M Indoor Range.

You joined last week? Where are they physically located? If they're going to open in three months, they must be pretty busy building their range area by now. It also seems like I saw where they were going to open in October... so I guess a one month slip to schedule is to be expected. But I'd still like to know their location.

According to their FB page, they haven't revealed the address due to confidentuality agreement.

Humm..."confidentuality agreement"?
With who? Why? I'm just trying to ask a few simple (& logical) questions here.
Kinda like back to my original question that I started this thread with.
--
Why would you need to keep the location confidential from folks who are putting up $700 or $2,000 to join (or maybe if I paid $2Gs, they would tell me)? Besides, I would think if they have approval from the City of McKinney - like their web page says - that knowledge would be a matter of public record (unless the city fathers gave their permission in some secret, "closed door" meeting). Maybe it's some technique they're using in hopes of keeping neighbors from complaining...in which case, I personally would want to get all that out in the open BEFORE I would invest money building such a place (if I was the owner). And if location would cause "a stirr" then even that's publicity. And like the old saying, "even bad publicity is FREE publicity."

From their FB page 2+ weeks ago.

I can't disclose the exact location without violating my agreement with the current property owner. Once the property deal is completely wrapped up it will be very well publicized. I can say it's very near a major intersection and will be easy to access...

I bought just a regular membership. I may upgrade when I see the place. But right now, it sounds good.

I can be the guinea pig.........

Being in Frisco 8 years, it's pretty much been Bullet Trap or bust. I sure hope there's a decent range coming here.
