Can someone tell me if DPS Tactical Training Center (Range) located at 810 CR 240, Florence, Texas is an indoor range or outdoor?

For CHL instructor qualification, the range is outside.

Thanks. I was hoping for an outside range. Due to my nearsightedness, I found it was hard to see the X-ring at 15-yard clearly without my prescription glasses. I think the lighting at my local indoor range also has something to do with it. If I use my prescription glasses, I can see the X-ring OK, but my front sights is now blurring. A friend of mine suggest to get the prescription for one of my eye and clear class for another. Anyone else has this problem?

Tony's Range 10000 US Highway 183 N. Used to be Stan's. All outside ranges as well if it helps.

The last few years I have been getting a set of mono-vision glasses made for shooting iron sights. Dominant eye set for the front sight to be in focus. The other eye is set for distance. Works great except I cant read the head stamp on my brass. I think this year I am going to have the same thing done but maybe with a bifocal in one lense so I can read up close.

Thank you for the information. I will try this.

Definitely! Have your dominant eye corrected so you can focus on the front sight, and your other eye for distance.
When I changed my left/right contact lens prescriptions, my shooting improved like crazy. All of a sudden I was able to follow my own advice to focus on the front sight.
