Is anyone familiar with the Dallas Pistol Club. I would appreciate hearing any feedback.

Haven't thought of something witty to put here yet

I'm a member there. Here is the web site:

http://www.dallaspistolclub.com/

The best way to check it out is to go to a match.

I also am a member. Good club, nice ranges.

There is a steel match this Sunday, Aug 19 at 9:30 if the weather is good. Metal Mania. Come on out and visit with us if you like. Bring toys and play with us also. Just introduce yourself as a new shooter and you will be taken care of. I like to shoot it with my .22. Good for speed, sight acquisition, and cheap since round count will be upwards of 200 rounds. I don't know if I can make it, but I might be there. Ask for me and if I'm there, I'll show you around.

Thanks Tom. Don't know if I can make Sunday morning (family morning of Church, Eating out and then I take the family to an ice cream parlor). However, I could be there Sunday afternoon if there is anything going on. I am also off this Friday, planned to go to Charles "Deadly Force" presentation in the evening, so I could be out there Friday morning. Again if there is anyone out there during that time.

Thanks again all who have responded,

Robert

Still nothing witty

Friday morning probably won't work because the gates will be locked to non-members. The gates are only open when there is a match. There is no match this Saturday so that is out. The Sunday match will probably last until 1-2:00 with people hanging around the clubhouse until about 3:00 so you could come out in the early afternoon. Next weekend there will be a Saturday and a Sunday match so you might try then if this Sunday doesn't work.

A couple of thoughts...

If you chose to join, you will have access at your leisure. As a non-member, access is only to attend matches or as a guest of a specific member who will open the gates. Cell phone numbers are a Good Thing.

Your 'sponsor', for lack of a better word, will have you sign in, give you a brief safety chat, and is accountable for your actions.

It is a safe place to shoot. The only that works is for individual members to 'police' the actions of others. That is, if you see me doing something that is undafe, call me down on it. Assuredly, I will do likewise. It is as safe as we can make. We do work on it. As a member or guest, you'll be expected to do the same.

Occasionally, some of the ranges are closed to members and non-members alike as various LE agencies train there and have exclusive use of whatever range they are on.

Some calibers are not allowed, even if they are fired in 'handguns'. A good example would be 30.30 in a Contender...there are other examples, but you get the idea.

I'd suggest that you visit the web site, find out when an organized match is being held, come out and visit. Talk with a director..see what you think.

A mandatory safety breifing must happen before membership is approved.

Play nice, obey the rules, and, above all, be safe. You'll like it.

salty.

Visited the DPC Sunday and I have to say that this is a Top Notch Club. TomC and the other members went out of their way to make me feel at home.

Thanks again guys and I look forward to many returns.

I was a member there for a while and can also recommend it.
