I went to Eagle Peak today 2/19/13 and wanted to update the earlier reviews I read. There was a complaint that they only took cash and that the closest ATM machine was over 2 miles away. You will be happy to know that they, as of 2 weeks ago, have installed an ATM machine on site. They also accept checks. There. I cleared that up. As for the rest of the range. The most important part is that they are an outdoor range and a LOT cheaper than Red's. It was a beautiful day to get out there and enjoy ourselves. They had more than enough room so that we could pick where we wanted to shoot. They were very safety conscience and knowledgeable. Follow the rules, which are meant for your safety, and you will have a good time. Bring plenty of ammo. read more

Very low tables and canopy which makes it difficult to properly position your rifle plus mega noise every time someone fires a heavy caliber. Rent spotting scopes but they are junk. Not recommended. read more

Well after reading some very negative reviews here and elsewhere I was gun shy about trying this place out, but I'm glad I did. Since I live relatively close and the price seemed right I decided to try it today (Tuesday). When I walked in I was pleasantly greeted and informed on pricing and expectations for the day. I watched the introductory video got my card and was met by the range officer. He too was very friendly and helpful. There were only a few of us there at the pistol and rifle range so maybe that had something to do with my experience but I am a bit puzzled about the wide range of ratings by people. As for me, I will definitely be back. read more

have been going here since 1991 when all I had was a shotgun and I wanted to warm up for dove season by shooting skeet. Now my wife and I go out there to shoot all three ranges. They only take cash so come prepared...but just today I saw they now have an ATM on site.....The range officers are friendly...but don't break any safety rules, they will be stern with you. safety....safety.....safety, remember we are dealing with live ammunition here. Always a good and safe time here, also very affordable. read more

Never before have I seen on so many different levels the kind of poor, uncaring, and at times, abusive attitude displayed by each and every employee at Eagle Peak. It blows my mind to think that a business could succeed with this type of personnel. Now, don't think that I'm some greenhorn that decided to pull out my rifle for that yearly shooting session and got yelled at by an R.O. and got my feelings hurt. To the contrary, I've been to Eagle Peak many times just because it was the only range around that had halfway decent facilities in my area. I've spent countless dollars there and have always kept my mouth shut because I needed a place to shoot. Today, I brought my good friend to shoot along with my father. We were treated quite rudely by both people in the office and I decided I'd had enough. We decided to leave and never come back. There are now other ranges in our area that are far more pleasant to shoot at. I have been giving nearly all of my business to Texas shooting range in Liberty Hill which is close to my residence. I've always been greeted with a smile instead of a scowl and they have a better facility bar none. The days of behaving as if you are the only place in town are over....I can't help but think that Eagle Peaks days are numbered, especially as people realize that Texas Shooting Range has better facilities as well as a 1000 yard range, tactical bays and skeet/trap. Did I mention that you can shoot fmj rifle ammo at Texas Shooting Range? Happy trails, guys.... read more

I wrote an earlier review, but somehow it got deleted. I was caught downrange when the range officer announced "Hot Range". Fortunately I was able to get the attention of the other shooters and stop anyone from firing. Needless to say it was not a pleasant adventure. Moreover, I was blamed for not telling the RO that I had moved from the short pistol area to the longer pistol area. Unbelievable! I can't imagine how he can justify calling the range hot when it obviously wasn't clear. This is the second time I've seen that happen, but the first time for me being downrange myself. They need to review their own safety procedures. Needless to say, I won't be going back. read more

Rude, expensive, and dirty. Membership is no longer a good deal compared to Best of the West or Reds: $15 for membership and for each day that you go there. Don't listen to anyone who tells you that 15 bucks for all day shooting is good - the constant cease fires and shooting will make an hour in this craphole feel like a lifetime; you can shoot more in minutes at Reds than in a few hours at this hole. Not to mention the terrible service from the racist old coots, the requirement to cleanup your shells, and the constant nickel and diming (for e.g. targets are $2 here but cost 50c at Reds). Only a masochist or a white person will enjoy this dump. And as for "your membership expires when you do": I hope the old punks that infest this joint expire soon; the world will be a better place without them in it. read more

...CUSTOMER COMES LAST ATTITUDE behind the counter. Interesting story: I go to Eagle Peak in Leander. I ask for a range, then pay cash and let them keep change; then the clerk takes my range card... so far so good right. Within 20 min, the clerk comes out to the range yelling at me full volume for being on the rifle range without giving my range card. He brought me inside like a child demanding my range card (remember he took it upon arrival). I pulled out my wallet to show him all my families cards, but mine not present as evidence he had my card and misplaced it. Still raising his voice chastising me for not providing my card and moving from assigned range (I stayed in the spot I was told to go and didn't move). Since it was clear if I didn't find my card for him, there would be a problem, I looked over their range board of all the cards... there was mine. He put my card on the pistol range instead of the rifle range and lost track of it. When I found it for him and pointed out what happened was not quite right, he promptly shouted at me, "I'm only going to say this once... I'm sorry... Now pack your gear and get the HELL OUT OF HERE NOW!" I was left speechless... should I not have given him my card in the first place? Should I have followed him to his peg board to ensure he put my card in the correct position? Should I not have let him keep the change? I THINK MY MISTAKE WAS EVER GOING TO Eagle Peak and allowing my 5 other family members to be subjected to their antics. I wonder how the owner would feel if he were present... really would like to get my money back... I'll let my pride take a public beating, but money is a separate matter. read more

Worse range I have ever been to. The Range Officers are extremely rude and no I am not refereeing to when correcting a safety issue. I mean in general. Also no rapid fire? This place is useless unless you want to sight in your deer rifle and even then I would recommend another outdoor range. read more

I went to Eagle Peak yesterday for the first time after hearing great things from my friends who have gone there quite often and have been shooting their whole life. I had only been to an indoor shooting range (Red's in Pflugerville), and they wanted me to try an outdoor. I had gone with my two friends (a couple) and his father. We only had a chance to try the rifles, unfortunately. My girl friend and I were shooting their Ruger 10-22. Her husband was shooting his 22lr, and his dad was shooting his .223. Now as huge fans of Eagle Peak, my two friends were aware of the "no full metal jacket" (FMJ) rule, but they were not aware that his father was shooting with that ammo. He, himself, was not aware he had FMJ ammo. During the cease fire, the range officer, Sam, came up to my girl friend and asked us if the FMJ ammo was ours. I don't know anything about guns, so I stayed silent, but my girl friend answered all of his questions. She explained it was not her FMJ ammo, she was not shooting with it, but it must have been her father-in-law's since the range officer picked it up from the number he was sitting at. The officer started to explain why FMJ is not allowed at Eagle Peak, but my girl friend said she knew why and that she was fully aware it was listed under the rules. Sam got incredibly frustrated with us and sarcastically yelled at us, thanking us for being "so courteous." As a bystander, I feel like he went over the top, for someone who was not rude, or breaking the rules on purpose. When my guy friend and his father walked back from their targets, he asked him to pack up and leave. We packed up as well because we were wanting to switch to shotgun at that point anyways. My friends' father left and we went back inside. Sam came back and yelled, "I thought I kicked all of you out!" We asked, "Why us? We weren't shooting the FMJ." We went back inside and talked to the two people at the counter. I didn't know their names, but they were both much older, seniors, a woman and a man. They were both willing to help us at first: heard what we had to say, the woman offered a refund, and apologized for the experience we had. The gentleman went back outside to talk to Sam while we waited, and then came back inside and said there was nothing more he could do after all. No refund, no more shooting for the day. Just FYI: customer service does not work that way! You don't offer to help the customer and then take it back. Sam lied and said we were all shooting the FMJ ammo when none of us used the gun that my friend's father was using. I didn't agree with the way Sam handled the situation when I thought he was just kicking out my friend's father because it was an honest mistake and we were all very cooperative and calm, but he was yelling at us like some ex-marine or drill sergeant. I definitely didn't think anyone deserved the treatment we received yesterday, and it looks like my friends are taking their business somewhere else. Whenever Sam is no longer there, I will consider going back. read more

These guys are the worst people on the planet as far as treating customers with respect and courtesy. I will never go back to this place. The guys behind the counter and on the range are straight up jerks. Not worth the drive up there. Plenty of other places nearby that treat you like a human being instead of a Marine Corps recruit on Parris Island. read more

This place is terrible. Extremely rude and unhelpful staff. If you are in this area go to Best of the West.

My friends and myself have been here twice. First time was ok but we were not thrilled with the place. Inside staff were great but the range officer was yelling at everyone and made the experience stressful and annoying. Today we were in the area and decided to give this place another try. Again, inside staff were great and the range officer was disrespectful. My friends and myself are in our young 20's. The range officer treated us as if we were incompetent at shooting guns, yelling at us any chance he got. When an older gentleman was loading his magazine and the gun pointed at the range officer, the range officer never raised his voice and even joked with the guy about it. Needless to say we are all grown men and I do not, nor will I put up with, being treated like an elementary school child. read more

I've been going to Eagle Peak for years. In the past, I would tend to agree with some of the negative comments about the Range Officers. However, there has been a change in Range Management !! No more shouting or belittling shooters, yes safety is primary absolutely no question, but management has put a stop to the yelling and screaming. I usually go Thursday or Friday and the staff inside and the Range Officer are FIRST rate. They'll assist any shooter with helpful tips and available to answer any questions. Give Eagle Peak another look, you'll be pleasantly surprised. read more

I go here because it's relatively close to us. If you follow the rules, pay attention and semi know what you're doing with a gun.. you shouldn't have any problems. One of the guys that works there isn't the happiest camper, but hey.. i'm not there to socialize. read more

I am a former police officer and gun enthusiast, so I get the rules for shooting ranges and gun safety. But they have range monitors out there that probably retired sheriff deputies who are rude, verbally abusive, and take the fun out of the experience. I told one of them my thoughts on it, and his reaction was tearing up my membership. Seems like he has no problem giving, but has serious problems taking, if you know what I mean. I would recommend signing up with another area gun club run by gentlemen who give and receive respect. And who don't make the experience miserable for patrons. read more

I've been shooting at the skeet section and today was my first day at the handgun section. I've never had a bad shooting experience until today the range officer was extremely rude with the way he approached my group I understand safety comes first but no need for the constant screaming and trying to make people feel like idiots. I would give the range zero stars if it were an option, but one star will to do. read more

I've been coming here for over 8 years. At times twice a week or once a month. They don't allow you to bring cleaning rods only bore snakes. Not a good place for new firearms that need to be cleaned while shooting. Renting the scopes for 300 yards is not a good idea. Buy some ear plugs at hardware store to use under your ear mugs if you go when it's busy. Going to fire a couple rounds at the last hour is not a good idea. Plan ahead....bring your own STAPLE gun and PRINT your own targets. Breaking the rules is not a good idea even if it wasn't an idea to begin with. Some of this will save you time and money. %%%I think they should have two range officers on the range during cease fires as reminders of the yellow line and to speed up the process.%%% An optional unlimited monthly pass would be a nice addition for the members. read more

I read through all of the reviews before I visited this place and got the general impression that if you did not follow the rules, you would hate this place. Turns out, the guy yells for your safety, and if you got yelled at for something, it was for everyone else's safety. Very simple rules to follow. Price is unbeatable; $10 a day (after getting my lifetime membership at the same time, so $20) for all day. Definitely bring your own ammo; I normally get mine for about $5 a box, and they charged me $11. Not cheap, but be smart and bring enough. Definitely going back again, and again, and again. read more

O man, I just got back from a Great experience at this range. I went with my wife who is very nervous about shooting my new pistol. I didn't think she would shoot my gun at all until the professional range staff warmly encouraged her. The staff was safety conscience and professional on the range. They made my wife comfortable enough to gain some confidence shooting and she had a really great time because of that. No carelessness aloud here and it made me feel good and safe. I say again that my wife had a really good time here and we will both be back soon. I plan on getting some training done here. This place is 10X better than reds. read more

We went last weekend. Loved it!! Be prepared to get yelled at. The people at counter are all business so don't screw around. And for gods sake, dont approach the bench during a cease fire (even to grab your ear muffs :). Have fun but be safe! read more

Range and office staff is over the top, in your face rude. Prices are too high. Not worth the drive to this dump. Inbred range safety officer has no clue how to run a range. Owner and his wife could care less about customer service. Go to Red's and have a much better range experience that this POS place. read more

This was my first visit to Eagle Peak. Also, I am very new to shooting ranges and for that matter shooting. As soon as walked in I felt at ease. I told the gentleman behind the counter that this was my first time to this range and would need to know their rules. He said that I was required to watch a five minute video that would explain them. As I was about to walk out he told me that I had to wait until a cease fire break. No problem. The range official was great. Even though I did unintentionally break a rule by walking to the my stand during a cease fire I wasn't yelled at. The ranger just said over his loud speaker to please folks do not approach your stand. He came by and asked how I was doing several times. Cool. Let's be honest here the rules have to be followed. You have folks shooting absolutely deadly weapons at gun ranges. As a new shooter I appreciated the ranger keeping an eye out for me. read more

I've been a member of Eagle Peak since I started going almost 10 years ago ... the range is nicely set up, rangemasters are usually pretty observant, tho there have been days when I was one of just a handful of shooters when they were nowhere in sight ... As for other reviews, I've run in to grumpy guys there and I've run into friendly guys who will stop by, say hi and take a look at what you're shooting. Don't want to be a target of the grumps? Learn the rules and follow them! Safety is of course the biggest concern of anybody who's around a bunch of armed people you don't know ... Their prices are very reasonable, except for ammo, but I always take my own and don't begrudge their prices, they have to be operating on a slim margin. Don't want to pay their prices? Bring your own. I love the idea of being able to shoot pistol-caliber long guns on the pistol range; I have a 9mm carbine and don't plan on making any 200-yard shots with it; it's for self-defense! If I'm more than 25 yards from the BG, that will be me, running in the other direction. I don't like the no-rapid fire rule and the no-draw from holster rule, but I understand them and would not want a newbie's first attempt at his or her Billy The Kid quick draw to be in the booth next to me. read more

Went here to meet up with some buddies to break in my new rifle. NOT impressed!!!! First off the old lady that runs the place is not too friendly since I was new and asked some questions I got some attitude. Then no Full Metal Jacket. I repeat NO FULL METAL JACKET!! You are kidding me right on a shooting range where most ammo today is FMJ. I'm not going to waste HP of SP on this range. Third, the range officer is ridiculous. He informed me to make sure the rifle was pointed down range. Then when I showed my new rifle to my buddies which had i safety checked for rounds and magazine which I pointed at the ground. He flipped out on me like I was pointing it at someone. Also don't plan to leave when they have cease fire even if you are leaving with boxed ammo he will not permit it and give you hell. I just wanted to leave and he flipped out on me again like I was young kid. This guy has a Nazi-like attitude. I appreciate him trying to keep things safe but this place is not for the serious shooters. I would NOT Recommend this place for anyone. I won't be coming back and will tell all my shooting buddies to stay away and go to another range. At 15.00 bucks a day there are other ranges that have more value than this. read more
