I had an amazing experience. I came in late, but they got me registered, and set me up in just enough time to try out my KSG. read more

I have been to several outdoor shooting ranges in the past and each had different recreational options. Unfortunately, my wife and I went on a rainy day to get a little practice time on a new pistol. There was a few people on the firing line shooting pistols a black power handgun and one person had a Over Under. When we came we had to register for a membership and watch a safety video on firearms safety and range rules. This is There Rules and a very good one. Since I didn't have time to purchase bulk 9mm ammo for practice we bought some Magtech FMJ ammo as they only allow for FMJ at the pistol area. The range has a area for Shotguns, Rifle and Pistols. I believe the rifle area only allows soft points or hollow points and they also rent long arms We will be back when we purchase some bulk ammo. read more

Garland Public Shooting Range - IWI Jericho 941 9MM full size - Gun/Rifle Ranges Near Me - Garland, Texas

Range Safety Office is not interested in safety. Mentioned that there was load rifle on bench and he walked over, while people were down range, and stated unloading the rifle. RSO started to leave, and I said to him that he really needed to speak with the owner, he not interested in speaking to the owner to explain the problem, the RSO said "don't tell me how to do my job". Found out that the owner was a first-time shooter that had just rented the gun from the range and did not really know what to do, he said they showed him a video, gave him the gun, and let him come out to the range. read more

Save your money and shoot at a range closer to you. Employees make or break your business. This is particularly true of gun ranges. No place in the game for arrogance, or ignorance. I've shot at this location occasionally for 10-15 years when I needed to quickly boresight a rifle. In those years, I've seen staff smile exactly twice. Mostly they present as miserable, unhealthy people that should be working as unarmed security at a strip mall. In the past, it was pontificating range officers that didn't know their belly from the subject matter. Today, the range was dead and it shouldn't have been a problem for two visiting, non-shooters to simply observe as I worked on a rifle. Nope. Tubby wanted $40 per person. Just absurd. Turned in my range card and correct, that means I won't be back. read more

Garland Public Shooting Range - This photo taken at a fun range, not Garland. - Gun/Rifle Ranges Near Me - Garland, Texas

Staff is unfriendly and bad attitude. Decades ago when I lived in Garland I used to shot my black powder muzzle loader and several other rocks here. I've been away a long time and since changed my name (court ordered) I inquired and they refused, unless I pay $50. read more

This location closes at 6pm not 8pm. I had advised the staff that yelp shows 8pm and he said " I can't control what yelp shows." Ummm yes you can. Each company is responsible for updating their own info. Lol read more

If I could leave a zero star review I would didn't even stay due to the person working just having a shitty attitude. Can't even look someone in the eye when talking and just an overall horrible first experience definitely won't be coming back. Bad for business whoever owns this spot . read more

No FMJ on the range "because of a high ricochet factor". I've been shooting my whole life, especially while in the military, and I've never heard something more dumb. They want you shooting hollow point 5.56 rounds instead?? Into dirt mounds? The guy we talked to was incredibly bland and just sounded miserable. They also say that your first time you shoot you have to pay $25 for a lifetime membership card. As if this range is gonna last that long anyways. They have dumb rules and ask too much money. It's not even that great of a range, it's a tiny hole in the wall underneath a city road. It's like a fat and ugly girl saying that her standard of man is a chiseled model with a six figure salary. It's not realistic and it's not worth your time or money. read more

Been there for years. You treat them right they'll treat you right. It's an older shooting range. That supplies the basic needs. Not sure what else to say. You say pull, then you shoot. read more

Great local gun range and shop! Everyone is amazing and, will go out of their way to ensure a safe and fun time! I've read reviews of complaints, but they are all from people that don't seem to follow the rules. I wouldn't trust those types with a Potato Gun! read more

If you are a newbie to outdoor gun ranges, you definitely should chose another place. You are completely on your own here. The only instruction you get is a 4 min video, that goes over the general Range rules for which they charge you $20. The only thing I got out of it when I could put up my target. What a ripoff. Then they charge you $20 per person, with no spectators, which I kind of get. But your bench is so tiny, a big guy Is almost shoulder to shoulder to the people beside you. I guess we should have gotten 4 benches. When both guys beside you are shooting 556 cannons, the blow back Concussion is felt 3 Benches over. They say they stop to put up new targets every 20 min, but it is very inconsistent. Our first time went only 10 min, and the next time went closer to 30. No safety glasses are provided nor ear protection, that's extra, which I find surprising it's not required. The main safety concern was that you had on a mask, which I find very ironic. You may love this place if you are seasoned professional. But if you are new and trying to just get started, this place is horrible. Our group of 4 shot 35 total rounds and got the hell out of there as quick as we could. The idiot at the door put us in the middle of to guys shooting 556 rounds. The focus here is on making money , not on making sure their customers have a satisfactory experience. I certainly will never go back. read more

Very unprofessional, racist and no respect for the clients, facility is dirty and staff are very rude, never going back there again!

not the range for taking children. Cost $25 per person. It doesn't even matter if you're shooting or not. I took my son so he could confirm a zero on his deer rifle. $25 each $50 total for him to shoot three shots. The only way this range makes sense is to bring a whole bunch of rifles and stay there for hours. read more

I enjoy this range. The price recently increased to $25 a visit. I find that price reasonable. This is a simple outdoor range. I only shoot pistol. its great for sight adjustment and accuracy. This is not a tactical type range. No rapid firing. I get along great with the staff. They will get dead in your rear end if you do not follow the safety protocols. Which i feel is appropriate considering you could kill someone by neglecting them. Look this is a local, simple range that is open regardless of weather. This aint John Wick's training canter or a modern center with employees giving unsolicited advice and/or recommendation. You pay your range fee, follow the rules and shoot your guns. No pressure atmosphere. read more

Great place , very friendly. Little expensive if you are shooting clays . We bought a membership and still have to pay $20.00 per person to shoot . Over all great place to shoot read more

Decent range. They do not take plastic. Cash only. Most of the employees are nice to ok. The youngest I have seen working behind the counter is a complete jerk, as such I have found another range that is a bit more modern. I am just going to say I am the customer and I decide where I spend my money. I have a ton of experience with customer service and would never treat a good paying customer as I was. Am done here. read more

Rifle range prevents FMJ ammunition. FMJ is a common target range ammo, wtf?

I wish I could rate zero stars. This is the WORST range I have ever been too. Absolutely horrible facility not too mention the staff is INCREDIBLY rude. The place looks like something out of a horror movie, for $50 you to get one target and a lane that looks like it was made from plywood from 1846. I have shot at tons of ranges and have never ever had such a poor experience. Id actually pay $50 to go back in time and never experience this place. If the staff reads these, maybe take some notes. Disrespectful, unintelligent and just truly mean people. And I'm not even a guy that writes reviews... this one I just had too. I'll be shooting literally anywhere else. Shooting blindly into the woods would be more beneficial than using this s*** hole establishment. read more

Run down. Lots of muzzle flagging behind the shooting line. Horribly cranky staff too slow to notice. Don't bother with this one. Elm Fork is a better bet. Also, FMJ only on rifle range. Some will say it's good because of the price, but, eh, not worth the savings. read more

While Covid numbers are still high there is no mask mandate at this range. Half of the people there did not have masks on. The staff yells at customers to practice social distancing with no mask on, as if that helps. read more

Lock and load. Do you like guns and shooting? I do. I guess I'm a Texas gal. I have been a member of this outdoor gun range for 2 years now and I love it! It costs $10 for a year membership and then $10 each time to come and shoot. Either bring your own gun or rent theirs. I rent each time and buy the bullets and the total comes out to about $50 (with my target, ear piece, gun, ammo). The staff there are extremely n ice as well. They will give you any assistance with a reminder 'crash course' if you need help with gun instruction again. Haha. They have a rifle, pistol and shotgun range. Take your pick. Real simple shooting for some simple fun. Shoot yourself happy here! read more

This is a good facility to come to and just practice or try out weapons that you recently acquired or hand out with friends and just have a great time. I like this location for a couple reason. 1) its fairly inexpensive compared to other ranges. 2) its not as far as other ranges are in the DFW area compared to where I live. That being said, the range has to shut down often to allow people to set up targets and practice. They have a trap side, rifle, and also pistol and tactical shotgun bay to use. I can't really complain for the price you pay to target practice. I primarily come here to maintain my skills with my USP .45 and Keltec KSG mainly for memory purposes. This time we came out because my friends has several class 3 items that I wanted to test out. Make sure to bring fluids during the summer as it can get pretty hot outside here in Texas. read more

Pretty standard fare for outdoor gun ranges. 20 minute cycles from hot to cold. More than enough ranges ops, clays, rifle 50 and 100 and pistol bays. Clays are self throwers single and double. You can unbolt on the pistol bays to bore sight your rifle but not shoot. Adjust for windage; there are no side blocks. Vending and a small shop in case you're u forgot something. Bring your own clays or buy them there. Guys said they were 90 for $11. Addressing price: $15 membership card and $15 per shooter OR SPECTATORS inside the fence. Some have said range officers were pissy; they were just doing what should be done. I had a good experience but then again I know the difference between shooting in my own back yard and someone else's. Yes, you have to watch a video but whatever. They do your paperwork at the same time and it happens between patrons. The only negs are that it's on the damn tollway and they dont do fmj rifle, not even AR so unless you want to shoot premium, leave it at home. read more

CASH ONLY It cost $20 the first time and then $10 after that. Also the first time you go you will be required to watch a 14 minute safety video. The price here is the cheapest I have heard of in the metro plex. They have a pistol range, rifle range and shot gun range. The facility is nothing fancy as you can tell from pics but it is worth the price. They appeared to have plenty of safety range officers. They let you shoot for about 20 minutes then there is a cease fire. The safety range officer did a great job of making sure everyone observed the cease fire and made sure no one was near thier weapons before calling it all clear. After 20 minutes of shooting you can go look at your target and post up a new one. As stated they only take cash. Most other places charge about $25 each time so this place can not be beat. Minors are welcome you just have to pay $10 for them and they must be by your side at all times. read more

jacks actually a great guy this place is a 5 star got my first shotgun and went skeet shooting here great place

Cheap place to shoot! Old school feel to it and a take no shit attitude from the staff. Never had a problem shooting here.

Reasonable range with modest prices. You have to use special type ammo for rifles so call before your head out.

Been going here for years. Took my best buddy here yesterday for his birthday and it was an amazing experience experience as always. The range officers are competent and friendly while tenacious in enforcing the rules and making sure everyone is safe. The guy at the front desk is friendly and welcoming. Would recommend for anyone with a handgun, rifle or shotgun read more

This place sucks. they have the worst service ever and have nothing better to do. i hope they go out of business. You are an idiot if you give them your time and money read more

No FmJ allowed I don't even know how thats possible I'm originally from California and even commie-fornia allows FmJ on their ranges.

The staff here is incredibly kind and professional! I came with three friends from overseas, and didn't realize that you need to have shot a gun before to be here. They gave me the name of the instructor, John, who's amazing who could teach us how to shoot. They even called him, and luckily he was on vacation, so he and his daughter came down super soon to teach us. Everyone was incredibly professional and they answered our 1001 questions. They also didn't make us feel dumb, and they told us a lot of great information and helped us with directions as many times as we needed until we got a grip on it. They are also very big on safety, which made us feel at ease. Next time I have friends from out of town, this is the place I'll be taking them. The range is nice because it's outdoor, so that was lovely. I do wish they'd take credit cards (or any other electronic form of payment), but alas. read more

This place is great. Been going here for years now and it's a good you get what you see range. Great knowledgeable staff who are always helpful. read more

Decent place to shoot outdoors. Staff is very safety conscience, helpful, and friendly. The facility is well kept. Range cycles cold every 20 min. 3 complaints: 1) The shooting lanes are too close together. In the rifle area, you will be blasted by the concussion of your shooting neighbor's gun as there are no real barriers between the lanes. Sit by an idiot with a big muzzle brake at your own risk... 2) No FMJ ammo allowed = more expensive ammo to buy/load. 3) Cash only (there is an ATM though). read more

Hubby and I's favorite shooting range because it is the only outdoor range in our area since, for me, indoor ranges tend to be stifling with heat and over whelming gunpowder smell. The staff was helpful and the requisite safety video was only five minutes long. The range is inexpensive, just only $15 per visit, but bring cash or a check with a number over 500. First timers will pay an additional $15 lifetime membership fee and the extra $0.50 to laminate your membership card is worth it. The targets are manual, so there is a very stringent cease fire rule. Cease fire is called about every 25 minutes, so many regulars mount two to four targets on the boards. A new overpass has been built over the Range and the unmarked driveway is a little hard to find. Slow down at the bottom of the overpass or you will overshoot the drive like we did. Had so much fun, will be back soon! read more

Great value for the price. Clean facility and very courteous staff. Easy accessible right off GEorge Bush in Garland

Very good place for outdoor shooting. Best part is that they're the only place in DFW (that I know of) that allows steel case ammo, which is huge with pistol ammo that can cost more than $20 per box of 50. Place is a little run down, but honestly no more than your average indoor range. Place seems to be run by a few very old-fashioned & stubborn old guys, but when it comes to guns, it's the right temperament to have. If you feel the need to say "oh I know everything about gun safety I should be respected I've shot guns for years blah, blah," then you probably ARE the kind of person that is careless with guns and needs to be yelled at. Complacency with guns is a recipe for disaster. I found nothing wrong with the video, it was a good intro to the rules, cease-fires were clear, and I felt very safe at this range. Nobody bothers you or anything, they just expect you to follow the rules, especially when folks are downrange during ceasefires. My docked star is for one thing: they don't take credit cards OR debit cards! Even if they charged a little more to cover their 2% fee, that would have been something. They wouldn't even take my check, unless "the number is over 500", which seems a bit arbitrary. I had to use the ATM. I guess I'll bring cash next time...but this is where being old fashioned & stubborn is NOT a good thing. It's so easy and cheap now to be able to take credit cards, even with the little "Square" thing you can get for your phone, there's no excuse in 2016 to not take credit cards. read more

Yesterday I went to this range to shoot skeet. A couple minutes after I arrived someone a few throwers over had a negligent discharge and I was peppered with some stray shot. I checked on others to make sure they were okay and then went to alert the range officer. The range officer didn't seem to know what to do, he didn't get a first aid kit, and just kind of stood there. When I asked him what the typical protocol was for an event like this he said he didn't know. The individual who negligently discharged his shotgun, took absolutely no accountability for his action, didn't check to see if anyone was okay, didn't even apologize, blamed the gun for the mistake, and seemed most concerned about his shoe. I tried to ask the individual for contact information but he proceeded to get furious and threatened to beat my a**. Because of his behavior he was escorted away from me. I asked the range for his contact information and they refused to give it to me, also refused to give us a refund and basically told us we are SOL. I saw the negligent discharger on the other side of the fence (outside of the range) and asked him again for contact information, he got even angrier than before and threated to climb the fence and beat me up. This individual wanted to hurt me, again, because HE shot me and was upset. After this the individual got in his car and fled the scene. I then asked the range officer what was going to happen, he said he didn't know, I asked if the police were called, he said no, I asked what they did to the guy, he said they did nothing and that he could come back the next day if he wanted to. Apparently this range has no regard for safety, human life, or the law. They openly accept angry, carless individuals who shoot others. And have no protocol in place for emergencies. Out of all the times I've been to a range in my life I have never seen such incompetence, carelessness, and disregard to safety on both the ranges part and the individual. read more

My friend recommended this place to me and the first time I went, I was sold. Jessica C, has the cost wrong, it's $10 for a lifetime membership and $10 for an all day pass (you can come and go as you please). If it's your first time, you'll need to watch a short video on gun safety. Here's the cliff notes: Point your gun down range at all times. Don't cross the yellow line or even go close to your firearms during a cease fire. I'm a shotgun kind of guy. Shooting paper targets can be fun. Get an AR-15 and lots of fun can be had, but in all honesty, I like moving targets. GPSR has four clay pigeon throwers. Bring your shotgun, a box of shells and a box of pigeons and YEEHAW! Be aware that the thrower arm should be turned in a counterclockwise direction to recock, not clockwise! You'll get a nasty bruise. This is from experience. If you're lucky, you can have two throwers to your group and shoot at more than one target at a time. Squirrels on the rifle range do not give you the right to shoot in other people's lanes. The staff are super nice and are always available to help you out and are quick about it. One of the throwers had a broken spring and I talked to the safety officer and he got a new one lickety split. Most of the people that shoot here are very nice. More than once, we've struck up a conversation with the people next to us and I'm sure if I had asked, they would have let me shoot their shotguns and vice versa. Sure you can go to Elm Fork and shoot their 18 hole course, but that's $50 just for the "green fees", you still need to bring a box of 100 shells and a golf cart is not necessary but is recommended. I've gone 3 times and haven't ever had a problem. Parking is the only thing that is a problem. There's no paved parking lot, so be careful where you park if the ground is saturated. Bottom line: If you like to shoot at things, this is a great place to do it legally! read more

Don"t expect anything fancy. That keeps it inexpensive, the clay throwers are manual so you should go in groups of two someone to load and throw while the other shoots. You are way down range so when there is a cease fire you may not hear, so again someone may have to watch the other shooters to see whats going on. An extra speaker or warning light might help. The manager was nice and helpful, the guy teaching the CHL classes was Mr. Personality - kinda rude. read more
