Must be close to me. I love Abuelos, and it's not far from where I live.

Time don’t matter except on Sundays when you can’t order alcohol of any type by the glass before 10am or noon depending on whether food is served with or not.

Can’t by beer or wine at retail before noon on Sunday and of course all the liquor stores are closed on Sunday except in the dry counties where they are closed all the time.

Which is why, as a prepper, I buy a rather large inventory 'before' Sunday...

Welcome to the clan

Welcome to DFW.
Tex-Mex - in Coppell/Flower Mound area you can't go wrong with Ole's in Coppell or AnaMia's in both Coppell/Flower Mound/Southlake.
Range time - try the DallasPistolClub.com - it's just centerfire pistols & rimfire pistols/rifles. Matches almost every weekend. During the week it's your own private range (most of the time).

Welcome to TGT.
Avoid Waffle House parking lots after dark.

 

[Tnhawk]

Avoid Waffle House any time!

 

[Dingo]

Welcome. I use the Arlington sportsman shooting club and ETTS, just depends on what type of shooting I’m planning. Good luck

Hello and welcome from NRH

 

[rr2241tx]

Stopping in to say Hello and introduce myself to the forum.
I am brand spankin new to Texas in the DFW area.
Up until now I have only visited for work or friends so everything is still very new and exciting.

Custom 3D design, product development, prototyping and fabrication is my area of expertise. Parts / Accessories for other enthusiasts and exotic armaments has been my main business for almost 15 years.
I am currently settled and looking for a decent company to call my day job as I wont be able to open for business for some time here just yet.
Looking for folks local that want to go shoot, or just want to throw some advice my way to integrate a bit faster.

Happy to be aboard!

Get yourself over to Joe T’s and follow their advice about what’s for dinner. Afterall, your friends will be visiting and you want to at least appear to know where to eat.

Benvenidos a Tejas!

Good choice.

You can try this one. I'm a member at the NRH location. If you are a veteran, you can get a basic membership for $20 a month and shoot as much as you want. The normal lane charge is $22 per hour.

Welcome to Texas and TGT @The_Architect_23. As noted by @Cool 'Horn Luke, ETTS is a great range. It's a 50 minute one-way drive for me but worth it every time. Do note, however, if you want to shoot beyond the 200 yard range, you are required to purchase a membership which is think is about 70/month. Too steep for my frequency of shooting so I pay the $30 daily fee and spend time in the individual bays and the 50-100-200 ranges. Some of the individual bays have steel ready for you too - score! You can back your vehicle right up under a covered awning, there's a table and I recommend you bring a cooler with your water and a snack, along with a folding chair and you're in for a fun time. Holler if you want to get out and plink some time, although, I usually try to go on weekdays when I have a day off work.

You've some solid recommendations for Tex-Mex, so here's one for a delicious burger out in your area, Twisted Root Burger Co. Also, you have to go to Babe's Chicken Dinner House (although, I've only had Babe's in Granbury but expect the Arlington location to be just as good..?). Best fried chicken in DFW (their smoked chicken is excellent too).

Man I had no idea ETTS had 100-200 ranges for Day use people..I'd always just grabbed a bay

Yessir, same price. Just follow the bays down about 1/4 mile.

Thank you very much, will have to make it down that way again soon. Are those ranges patrolled by RSO's or are you on your own like the bays?
