Last Sunday my wife & I were to meet a friend of hers from work at the Garland Public Range. This was the 1st time we ever tried to shoot there so we didn't know what to expect. When we got there and finally found a parking space we went in and were told they didn't accept plastic, only cash or check. Since we came a long way from north west Frisco to get there and didn't have cash or a check with us, we just decided to go to the Bullet Trap where we have been a member for quite some time. She called her friend and had her meet us there instead. We got there about noon when they opened and had a great time. We got three lanes together (rare on weekends) so we were able to socialize a bit.
The Bullet Trap has pull up targets and a great selection of toys to look at. We have bought three guns from them and appreciate the employees friendlyness. I especially appreciate Jerome who found my MP 9 compact magazine for me that I had knocked off behind the shooting bench and saved it for me.
I guess I expected the Garland Public outdoor range to be kinda like the old Backwoods Trap outdoor range up on the Hwy 380 before it shut down. No comparison but it would probably be ok for a week day shoot. It looks like development is moving close to the Garland Range so I don't expect it to be around very much longer either as soon as the soccer moms go into a rant.
