It's sad to see that there is so little to choose from in this area. Two ranges closed down this fall and even though the Eagle Peak range outside of Austin is nice, it's restrictive on rifle ammo (hollow point only). Any other ranges are a pretty far distance to travel, unless you want to go to an indoor range.

I don't understand why ranges here in the Capital area are vanishing!

You live in what is probably the most liberal city in Texas thanks to T.U. and it's political pull. You are lucky to be able to even own a gun. I live in Frisco, Tx otherwise known as Yuppyville where the gun grabbers have closed down two outdoor ranges just up the road on Hwy 380. One was just about ten minutes from my home (bought out by a developer) and the other was shut down by a liberal judge in McKinney, Tx after being there for over eight years. Now we have to drive 25 to 30 minutes to shoot in a indoor range, shoulder to shoulder with a little divider, just punching holes in paper.
We are moving to East Texas ASAP to get out of the traffic and join a good outdoor range.

Guess we will be at CCGR later today. APG range doesn't sound like a place I want to spend the day with the tempature over 100 degrees. Since Backwoods Traps closed, we usually go to CCGR or the Bullet Trap.
I miss backwoods because we could back our SUV up to the shooting lane and all our equiptment was right there. Not to mention, it was only a 10 minute drive from my house. The gun range situation on the north side of Dallas sucks!
You are right about CCGR being usurped into the McKinney city limits. The good liberal judge is apparently trying to put them out of business with his restrictions on hours of operation. Not only did he regulate his weekday hours but he cannot even be open at all on Sunday! It's a shame,the owner is a LEO and doesn't deserve that kind of treatment.

Does anyboby know anything about the new (I guess), gun range West of Greenville on HWY 380? Surely someone here knows something about this range. The name or possibly a phone # or a web site. We have a group that wants to shoot with us but a indoor range wouldn't work out too well.

If I had a gun range in N. Texas I would surely be hollering about it especially on a good Texas gun site like this. Good, outdoor ranges in N.Texas are becoming very rare thanks to the gun grabbing Sheeple.

Thanks for your reply S&W6946. Have you been there yet?

Thanks SW6946. You are right, the sign was West of McKinney.

We were driving to Sulphur Springs from Frisco earlier today and just to the east of McKinney, on HWY 380, there was a wooden sign saying something about 3 outdoor gun ranges open to the public, with a arrow pointing to the South (I think). The sign looked fairly new. Does anyone know about a new Gun Range just off HWY 380 East of McKinney? I'm not confused with Collin Co. Gun Range, we shoot there often. Could it be that someone is brave enough to open a new gun range in spite of all the gun gragging sheeple?

I used to shoot at Backwoods Trap just N. of Frisco & Little Elm on Hwy 380. Went there yesterday and it had been sold to a developer. The last day open was Saturday, 15th of April. I'm really gonna miss that place since it"s only 10 minutes from my house.

Now it will be Collin County Gun Range in McKinney or The Bullet Trap in Plano. Shot at C.C.G. R. with Reysc and Leo ( Reysc's bro. in law that he bounced a ricochet off his head) yesterday. Had a great time.
