The north end of the airport sits a little ways behind some trees back there! It is not exactly right at the airport but close enough they might want that land for something I guess

Re: Two Outdoor Ranges down.....

jbenat wrote:The only two outdoor ranges on Hwy 380 are now gone. The Back Woods Traps, bought out by the developers of Savana Subdivision several months ago and now the Collin County Gun Range has been forced out by the airport expansion (I hear) so they could buy the land cheaper with a defunct business on it.
We used to be able to drive about 5 or 10 minutes to the Back Woods Traps, and back our car up to the shooting line bench. You don't know what you got untill it's taken away from you. The price was reasonable and you could shoot on any range, rifle, shot gun, bow & arrow or pistol. If you somehow got bored with that you could fish in their private lake.
All that's left in the north side of my area (Frisco) is the indoor range in Plano, The Bullet Trap. Shoulder to shoulder with a little partition between shooters. Just punching holes in paper over & over again. For that you get to pay $18.50 for a pistol lane. :evil:
Couldn't have said it better myself. I am in Plano and I really wish I had some land in N. Collin county to build my own range on!

Now that sucks! I did not even know it was there until recently as I did not go up that far north very often. Now that I have been planning to go I find this out. Does anyone know who soon this will happen?
