Re: Top Gun Shooting Club 500 yd range opened north of McKinney
Never mind, I'm thinking of Red Zone Ranch - which was in the Melissa? Area. They returned my money in May of 2013. I apologize for the confusion.

Re: Top Gun Shooting Club 500 yd range opened north of McKinney
If thats true, then the original owners must have sold it and the new owners reopened it. At least I know the original owners were interested in selling. Sure wish I'd known...C-dub wrote:There are a few other threads where this range is mentioned. I just thought it somewhat appropriate to resurrect this one because it talks about it being opened and I thought I'd let everyone know about it being closed. It was open for several years. I shot there last year, apparently only weeks before it was closed.sjfcontrol wrote:As members at the time, we were told initially that the county fire marshal was requiring a "Certificate of occupancy" (occupancy of what wasn't clear, as the only structure was falling down, and obviously not being used).
Then later there were other regulatory issues, change requirements, etc. until the owners gave up and returned everyone's membership dues. There may have also been complains from some not really close neighbors (probably driving the fire marshal issues).
Based on the posts in this thread, these events must have been about 6 years ago. They were only operational for a few months, and I only got to shoot there ONCE!![]()
