OK, went back by there the Sunday afternoon after dropping of my wife at DFW. Had my range bag, waitied while the check-in boy inspected, tagged and documented two (very patient) guys ahead of me. One of those was leaving and he was doing the checkin procedure in reverse it seemed. Didn't look like much fun to me, but I don't have much tolerance for that sort of thing.
When it was my turn, I offered my bag and my CHL. The kid said "Oh, you have it on you. Go ahead in".
Lots more busy this time, but still no problem. Well, except for the guy to my left whose .45 kep lobbing hot casings over the partition onto my head. I decided it might be good to simulate SD shooting under fire.
Nothing like a random hot shell down your neck to test your concentration on the target

Well, sure, but it's a lot harder to find a place to practice at Cabelas

My one impression with the Grapevine location was positive. The range guy was Chris, young, polite, knowledgable. He was showing off an antique break-open S&W revolver he had just acquired. I was there shopping, unprepared to shoot and unfamiliar with the rules and equipment, but he was very helpful, even patient.
I had to go to the car and get my other pistol. When I came back he asked if I had them on me. I said 'yes'. He asked if I had a CHL, and that was all he needed.
Right now that's my range of choice, and fairly close to home. I still need to check the Haltom City club though

Are you folks aware of the range at Bass Pro in Grapevine?
They have 5 or 6 lanes, $8.00 range fee, open until 8:00.

Their range had burned up a year or so ago. Seems someone fired a blackpowder weapon and caught the place on fire. Took them a long time to decide whether to reopen it. I was pleasantly surprised to see that they did.
