Long-distance range(s) in the DFW area

[DParker]

The range I go to has 100 yd. rifle targets, but I'd like to find someplace that has long-range targets (200, 300 or even longer). I recall passing a range like that while driving a backroad in what I think was Collin County, but there was no sign labeling it and it was a while back and I don't recall the location. Does anyone know of such a range in the DFW area?

Tac Pro in Mingus has 1000 yd range IIRC. Read their website as I think there was some qualification req'd before they turned you loose on it.

That looks interesting...thanks. Now if only it weren't a 2 hour drive from my house

Mesquite range (Gibson's Outpost & Shooting Range on Lawson Rd) used to have a 200 yard lane. It's been a couple of years since I've shot there so I'm not sure if they still do, but it used to be a nice facility. $10/year membership and $10 per day fee. Give them a call 222-8127.

FMJ rifle ammo allowed! Email your friends this website address: http://www.geocities.com/gibsonoutpost/
This is the only range I have been able to find near me that allows Full Metal Jacket rifle ammo.
Indoor rifle ranges (like Targetmaster and BulletTrap) allow FMJ but NOT if it is magnetic (like most military surplus ammo). They will test your ammo with a magnet before you shoot. Targetmaster is 50 yds and Bullettrap is 25 yds with two lanes.
Outdoor rifle ranges (like Garland Gun Range) only allow soft tip or hollow point.
Gibson's Outpost allows Full Metal Jacket rifle ammo so I can shoot my military surplus rifles long range without paying $20 for 20 rounds.
