Another #carclublife story where I spent the morning sending hot brass flying. I lead my group from…read moreAustin to Abilene eventually ending up at Perini Ranch for steaks. Instead of visiting a museum or twiddling our thumbs we showed up to have some fun. One of our members had always wanted to shoot full auto. I called a few weeks out; made arrangements for us to visit. Video is posted; he was grinning ear to ear murdering a paper zombie. That would be 100 rounds in about a minute including reloading. Everyone else brought their own shooting irons. My first time at a range having lived on a ranch my entire life! Staff was friendly and direct on instructions. Hearing and eye protection were provided if you forgot to bring your own. Staffers even made some adjustments to my laser sight on my 9mm S&W Shield without a charge for the help. I spent my 50 rounds, took many pics, and retired to the lobby to present our targets for inspection by other members. We headed south afterwards in search of steaks as rewards.

I was told it would be $120 in labor. I called TJB Outdoors in Sweetwater and was quoted $40-60.

If you want horrible service and rude poeple come here!!…read more I've been coming to this outdoor range for about 9 months and have visited around 12 times, paying the $25 daily fee each visit because I wanted to support a small business instead of buying a membership. Unfortunately, today was the final straw because of how the range master treated us. From the moment my friend and I arrived, the attitude was rude and aggressive. While we were still paying and adding targets, we were told to "hurry up and pay." Then we were rushed to put targets up because supposedly everyone was waiting on us, even though other shooters were still downrange changing their own targets. After that, I was told to put away my AR-style 9mm pistol because it "wasn't allowed in the pistol lane," even though it is chambered in 9mm like other pistols. Later, while safely shooting a suppressed pistol, I fired an 8-round magazine at a reasonable pace and was approached again, told to leave, and accused of acting like a fool. At that point, I decided to leave and not spend my money there anymore. Even other customers told me the employee was known for having a bad attitude. He apologized afterward, but by then the experience was already ruined. I respect range safety and rules, but customers should also be treated with professionalism and respect. Sadly, I won't be returning after I recommend this range to many people that are working in town

This range is fine. I feel like fine is the best way I could describe it. Targets are ok. Rifle…read morerange is decent. I have been an RSO for previous ranges and there is a way to keep ranges safe, but.... If you automatically assume everyone coming to your range is going to kill someone, regardless of their experience, you're not practicing safe practices, you are pushing away a customer base. The closest outdoor range that allow "quick draws" and "rapid fire" (literally shooting two rounds within 1 sec of each other as I was corrected by an RSO for doing) is hours away. I recommend they TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS!!! The people of Abilene want an outdoor pistol range for USPSA and other competitions. Please expand your pistol range and lean into this. Bring competitive shooting to this area and you will reap the rewards. I want this range to be good. But everyone I talk to says "oh that's the Fud range, I don't go there". They would rather drive hours away than come to your range. Hope that changes. Good luck y'all!

He was able to accommodate four students on rather short notice. He answered our call quickly and was very helpful before the class even started. His class was held at The Holiday Inn Express in Georgetown which offered a nice comfortable seating area for all of the students. Lance was very well versed in the law and gun safety as a whole. His class was not only educational but engaging as well. The qualification was held on a private outdoor range. The thing that I really liked about that was it wasn't crowded and offered us the ability to really concentrate on qualifying. Lance was well prepared. His educational aids (PowerPoint, posters, books, handouts, etc) were well done. He also supplied the class with coffee, soft drinks, and water throughout the morning which was definitely not a requirement but was much appreciated. If you are looking to get your CHL, or maybe just take a training class, you should consider Lone Star Gun Training. You'll be pleased with all that Lance has to offer.
