From the comments I gather a fire happened? Any more info? Hope they get it fixed soon. If I shoot indoors I MUCH prefer there over both Bullet Trap and FGC.

Tracer into the ceiling?

Seems someone got tracer rounds and somehow shot one into the ceiling where it started a fire. First reports are that the store and the pistol ranges where deemed safe enough to open Friday. The rifle range is not going to open right away.

Make sure to support them. They are a strong supporter of everyone's rights regarding all forms of self defense, fair and honest merchants, and just great with regards to training and so helpful whether or not you eventually buy a product or service from them.

Damn! Im there about knce a month. Nice place nice people and very reasonably priced. Went there after i move here about 2 years ago. They had paper signs up NO TRACERS. I actually looked at one of the guys and was like are you serious is this an issue. He told me how some fool set some other place on fire a few mo ths earlier. What a waste hope they really nail the fool who did it. I know they have cameras in the lanes

DFW Gun Range burned down in 2013 from some asshole firing tracer into the backstop.

I've been there 2x in the past 6 weeks. It's close to work. Glad it appears to be a minor issue. My next gun range trip is actually going to be at Garland Public Shooting Range since I have 200 rounds of Tulammo for my new 9mm. Indoor ranges don't allow this ammo and alike since they are steel and for the same reasons no tracers are allowed. Steel = sparks = fire.

What kind of idiot fires tracers at an indoor range? That's what I hate about living in the DFW area. By that I mean going to ranges where you're dealing with people who don't know what they're doing. I miss the desert of W TX/ S NM every time I go shooting here.

does this happen often? the range south of my house in fort worth burned recently.

does this happen often?

Too often.

My closest range, Spring Guns & Ammo, had it happen. Some idiot was trying to impress a girl, loaded a full magazine with tracers into his SCAR, and did a mag dump. The crumble-type backstop caught fire immediately.

The good part? They guy who did it grabbed his girl and ran out, abandoning his guns and gear. The fire was put out. Then Mr. Rocks-for-brains came back to claim his guns which made it impossible for him to stay unidentified.

I'm not sure how it finally turned out but, frankly, I can't think of anything stupider than what this guy did - set fire to a range owned by a very capable lawyer!

sucks that happened, that's such a fun range.

 

[TomVandyMurphyTX]

The pistol range is still up. Support those who support us I say.
