If you don't mind an outdoor range then go to Alpine. I prefer Winchester in Ft. Worth. It is an indoor range and on Tuesdays and Thursdays after 5 it is cheaper. About 15-20 minutes from UTA.

I agree. I definitely prefer Winchester, but for shotguns you must go to Alpine.

That's pretty much the only thing that I do at Alpine, but I do love their shotgun options. I spend a fair amount of time ($) out there shooting skeet and sporting clays.CodeJockey wrote:I agree. I definitely prefer Winchester, but for shotguns you must go to Alpine.

Re: Moving to Arlington..
Does Winchester have a range fee as well as a membership charge??

Re: Moving to Arlington..
I think that you can buy a yearly membership, but you don't have to. It is something like $12/shooter on weekdays, $15 on weekends, and $9.50 on Tuesday and Thursday evenings if you don't have a membership. That gets you a couple of targets and your own lane for as long as you want to shoot. I think that if you share a lane with your wife then the second person is like $6. I'd love to get the unlimited yearly membership, but can't afford enough ammunition to go often enough to justify the cost for the annual membership.getusumtx wrote:Does Winchester have a range fee as well as a membership charge??

If you buy the annual membership then there is no additional fee when you go. I talked to the guy there and he said you need to go ever 2 weeks in order to break even on the yearly membership.

Re: Moving to Arlington..
I might be interested in trying Winchester, esp. if I can shoot with my wife at a discount. Where is it?

Don't know anything about the ranges around here - have my own - but have fun at UTA. I'll be back there in August to finish up my degree.

I moved to Arlington about 3 years ago from Houston. Winchester Shooting Gallery is your best bet. I go there once in awhile with my uncles and we have a blast there.
