Thanks for the info. But it appears not to be open yet. Did you actually see a "building" :roll:

In any event, it will be great when it opens, I've already submitted my resume to them ;-)

Yes I stopped by this evening and grabbed a flier in the front. The website make it seem like a nice place. Hope it opens soon it is only a 10 minute drive for me and Tuesday are tactical night so sound a bit better then stationary targets.

Not open yet, should be open January or February.

Went by there last night. It's open (Grand Opening yesterday). It's a great little range. I encourage everyone in NE Tarrant county to check it out.

- Clean
- Nice selection of accessories and rental guns (Walthers/Sigs/Berettas/Rugers)
- Lounge area with TV/Coffee/Internet where you can watch shooters.
- Nice classroom
- Video Training System

Check out the website for upcoming events.

Come on! That is a STOCK Photo. Don't judge the range by some stupid stock photo on their website.

As one of their instructors, trust me, they will be doing it right.

That is a canned photo and not one taken at that range. Was on their website WAY before the range was even started on building.

Went there this last weekend. Had a great time. Very nice staff. It's a little deceptive from the outside. It's bigger then it looks and the inside is quite nice. They also have a private lane you can rent. This weekend there was a guy with a machine gun using the range. They say you can also draw from holster if they check you out first.
