My fellow Army veteran buddy and I came here to qualify for our LTC. Our instructor Cecil was totally professional and encouraging. My buddy and I qualified first time go. So that was satisfying. They provided the instructions on everything and discussed safety in detail. In my opinion the staff were totally professional ans made sure safety was a priority. I didn't feel unsafe at all while qualifying here at this range. I would recommend this place for outdoor range shooting. read more

I have been coming to this range for about 15 years. I often bring several first time shooters from other countries, and the respect the office folks show my guests is exemplary. I also drive from south Austin to get here. But very worth the drive. Always a great time!...jmt read more

Great range and a very friendly shooting environment. Just wish I could bring my scale cannons, but you cannot have everything. :-)

I came from NYC with 3 buddies to rent a few guns and have a fun afternoon. We've only shot once or twice before, so we definitely aren't experts. Everyone at the front desk was extremely helpful and friendly, and explained all the rules and processes very clearly. We felt very confident about going to the range and doing our own thing, but the staff can be as hands off or as hands-on as you want them to be. The patrons there were also very friendly and took safety very seriously. The range is well maintained and they have a ton of guns to rent. We all had a really great time and I would recommend anyone to enjoy their time here. The prices are also all very fair. read more

I took My Wife and daughter to the range for their first experience of shooting a gun... and they absolutely loved it!!! I would highly recommend people to visit this range. The staff were friendly, the safety was front of mind and we really enjoyed the day #greatdayout read more

I love that place, my range of choice. Staff is super competent, no nonsense type. No hi-tech stuff, simple and barebone, just the way I like it read more

I've been here many times with friends and my sons. This visit was no different me and a friend doing some skeet shooting. The staff is always amazing organized and takes her job serious to keep everybody safe. They have a great variety of rentals targets clays everything you need to have a great time. Everything is always clean and organized and set up very well. Really like shooting here. read more

Absolutely terrible management (Sad). Incredibly unprofessional and their range is very unsafe. Nobody is monitoring anything going on it's just an accident waiting to happen. Don't let them know if you have any sort of issue because they're rude and frankly very unintelligent. Like drooling. It's really a disgrace. Not to mention the place is in the middle of nowhere BORING read more

Lone Star Gun Range - The manager - Gun/Rifle Ranges Near Me - Lockhart, Texas

Sooooo I found I love shooting guns and was good at it especially, I love the big long range guns or riffles with scope. Bang! I hit the target! Loved it! We stayed in Texas with some friends. We went here in the heat for a several hours to practice. I recommend to purchase sound proof headphones to minimize the sound of the gun fire sounds. There were plenty of outdoor parking. Inside you need to register and sign the waiver and rules. Good thing we already hand plenty of guns to practice with as well as bullets. I would not want to rent their guns. Man, I actually envy the Texans as they have no limit to the amount of bullets to purchase in Texas. There are different sections in the range to use for different size guns. Also, its all about courtesy with other shooters and when to stop when told. I will be back here or another to shoot some guns. A girl has to practice and protect herself. ;) I recommend this shooting range. [10R, 2023] read more

I heard about this place through a friend and all I can say is WOW! This place did not disappoint. Front desk guys were very nice and helpful to my buddy who was a first time shooter. We went over the rules and were shooting within 15 minutes. The other patrons were respectful and all around a pleasure to be around. I will definitely be coming back and cannot recommend this place enough. Worth the drive from Austin! read more

I just wanted to say that Jake was so nice today, he checked our passes asked if we needed anything if we had any questions, told us to have a good shoot and thanks for being members. (Not to say others aren't nice) But its usually just check passes and go. And as ALWAYS Lone Star Gun Range is a great place to take in some practice and especially when I get to spend time doing it with my son. read more

Lone Star Gun Range - Gun/Rifle Ranges Near Me - Lockhart, Texas

Great range overall (maybe my 4th visit) but there are no safety staff monitoring the actual shooting lanes on any of their ranges. Went on a busy day (Sunday) and novice shooters were waving around loaded guns like they were toys. Get some staff outside or someone is going to get seriously injured / killed here. read more

I always have great experiences here and most of the staff is excellent and friendly. The folks who take our money and have us read rules are always really cool and I rather enjoy speaking to them and I love their dog. Later in the day during our adventure.... One of my party had a bit of a brain fart and began to shoot while in the standing position which, yes it is one of the rules we all agreed to follow. Mistakes happen some times. But it was not an unsafe act and it was not a safety issue as far as what I could see. Nobody meant to be any trouble....yes that was our bad. But This prompted an employee, who I'm guessing was the RSO, to aggressively walk up quick fast and in a hurry, all pissed off with steam comin out his ears and angrily shout at us "cease fire on the range!" Ok....... I mean, you'd think that we were all pointing our weapons at eachother or shooting into the air or being really stupid..... like that dude was freakin mad. Like had the anger veins poppin out of his forehead... like, way more mad than he shoulda been. He proceeds to angrily grill me about why HE was watching us stand and shoot through his camera. He treated me personally, a grown man, like a child, when it wasn't even me that stood up to shoot. He yells at us that this is our last warning or he would kick us out...... and then tops it off with an angry, "be blessed"..... gee.... Thanks buddy. We didn't argue or anything. We acknowledged and moved on. But I didn't appreciate the way that dude acted. A simple reminder of "Hey, we have rules, you agreed to them, don't stand and shoot at the 100 yard range, thank you" would have sufficed and would have corrected the issue. It was a missed opportunity to be tactful and not be disrespectful to your customers. Like I said..... it was a breached rule on our part. Our fault. But it wasn't a safety violation, nobody was in danger, nobody was missing their targets.... Dude just wanted to let us have it. And I don't think it was an acceptable way to treat paying customers. I usually have a great time here at this range. I appreciate the big boy rules and usually have a great experience here. read more

We made a group reservation for a bachelor party to come shoot clays on the shotgun range. We never got notified that they closed the range down for renovation until we showed up and then had some of the worst customer service working to find a backup plan. Do not recommend read more

Great service. Safe and inexpensive. It's hard to say much more about a place where you do your own thing, but they have an excellent variety of rentals out you can just bring what ya want, go to the right range, and have safe fun. read more

Favorite range by far in the area, the workers know what they are talking about, they treat you with respect, and they will answer any questions you have without any hesitation. Unlike most other ranges in the area they actually treat their customers like grown men. It's always a blast visiting lone star. read more

I was impressed with the emphasis on safety. I like how you pay once for the day and there's multiple shooting ranges available. I've been to a couple ranges in Austin and Marble Falls, this one is my favorite. read more

Really nice staff, great shooting range with affordable price. (Annual $150 before tax)

Negative stars. My family went to this range for my son's birthday in May and had a wonderful experience. We decided to take my recently widowed mother in law to buy a gun there when she came for a visit a month later. There were different people working there this time. The man spoke to me horribly, completely humiliating me for asking as question when his job is to answer questions about guns. I was so upset that I left from heart problem. He preceded to spend the next hour spouting crazy statistics to my mother in law and terrified her. Now she will not go near a gun and refuses to own one. This is NOT a person who should be working with the public and teaching people, especially women as he seems to have a personal problem with them and veterans. These veterans will NOT be returning to a place where we were treating with SUCH thorough disrespect. Shame on Will and those who keep him hired on there. read more

Great outdoor range, "user operated" as the staff called it. There are no RSOs patrolling the bays, but staff will attend to new shooters if requested. They also ensure that shooters understand their rules right when you get there. Range time per person is $23, which is very reasonable compared to other spots in the Austin metro area. They have a designated rifle range where you can shoot up to 100 yds, a designated hand gun range, and a rifle/handgun range for close quarters shooting. Permitted ammo types are also much more broad than a majority of the indoor ranges in the area and rapid fire is allowed. Highly recommend Lone Star Gun Range and I will surely be a repeat customer! read more

People were super friendly. Lots of room. Easy parking. I would definitely recommend anyone wanting an outdoor shooting experience to go here. Aloha read more

overprice if you go, make sure you take your earplugs because if not, they're gonna sell you some foamy ones for two dollars that you're gonna throw away. if you shoot with an A.R. the sluts where you're going to shoot have a very low overhang so either you have to squat or lay on the the table or the ground totally uncomfortable. If you want to really experience outdoor shooting in away shooting should be check out Black Hawk. read more

First time ever shooting my pistol I went out to Lone Star Gun Range by my self, The gentleman inside were very friendly helped me through the process of what to do and not to do even gave me a quick lesson on My EZ 9 M.2 Enjoyed it so much I went back with a friend would definitely recommend. read more

my favorite gun range in all of Texas, cant beat a lenient outdoor range with great prices and even better employees. a must stop if you're in the area, with plenty of firearms to rent if you are empty handed. read more

Lone Star Gun Range - 100-Yard Rifle Range - Gun/Rifle Ranges Near Me - Lockhart, Texas

Friendly folks, highly recommend! Just a short drive out of Austin. Gets kind of muddy when it rains tho

It has clays, plinking, handgun and rifle ranges. Entry as of 11/2023 is $25 to use any and all ranges. So far every employee I've met here has been friendly and helpful, some of the customers are obnoxious in some ways that I don't know is completely fair to criticize them about (I don't know every bit of minutiae as it pertains to gun range etiquette), but I will anyway: why do some people with scoped out large caliber rifles insist on shooting on the lanes that are better suited to handguns? Beats me. I assumed it was just because they're shitty shots or they just are totally inconsiderate but I could be wrong. There may very well be a totally practical reason that I'm missing, but it's still a bit obnoxious. Employees are pretty hands-off for the most part, though there's always at least one patrolling the area. If you're a total novice this is probably not the place for you unless you have someone with you who will be up your ass about safety and etiquette. It's not what I would call "unsafe", but compared to an indoor range it's a bit more casual. They assume you know what the fuck you're doing is what I'm trying to say. No one is going to be up your ass about getting your shit together unless it's another patron, or unless you're doing something so egregiously stupid that it gets noticed by the employees. Don't be that fucking guy. Easy drive here, just off 183. As far as I know this is the only range with plinking in the area and it's close enough to downtown Lockhart to make a trip to Smitty's a No brainer. read more

Had 4 friends out for a day in the tactical bay. A little confusion between staff about what target stands went where. In the end they figured it out. Wish they allowed steel targets and shotguns for a real 3 gun tactical experience. Maybe it will come in the future read more

Took my family here for a family range day and the staff is extreme , over the top , and not very nice .. they made it real uncomfortable for our family to be here and enjoy ourself .. staff was just being really extra !! I enjoy shooting outdoors but not sure if I'm guna be returning to this particular range .. When I say extra I'm meaning that employees are rude !!! Love how the owner is the same way .. we are all for everyone safety but you can tell that the owner themselves is rude and don't know how to talk to customers at all by the remark they replied .. this is how you will be treated if you come to this range !!! I will never return just because of the rudeness of these people !! read more

Best range in Texas. Excellent customer service and always a great experience. Sandra is always very helpful and runs this place efficiently with a wonderful attitude! Highly recommend coming here and, ideally, becoming a regular. read more

THE BEST GUN RANGE IN NOT ONLY CALDWELL but the surrounding Austin area!!!!! Out door range with many options! Long range, short range, shot gun and more. Their classes are in depth and well structured. The rules on the range are exceptional at keeping everyone safe but also allowing people to enjoy themselves. I will only shoot at Lone star Gun range. Owner Sandra amazing! This is her life and I assure you her employees are not only fair but also amazing at their jobs. read more

Great staff, prices, and gun selection. Came here with a group of 6 and had an absolute blast. Def would come back to shoot here when I'm visiting Texas. Rafael was very knowledgeable and took great care of us, def felt the southern hospitality read more

Great gun range. Friendly people. Raphael was awesome and super helpful. Been twice and will go again if I come back to Austin.

Loved this range. Came here with my gf the other day and had a great time. The guys inside were polite and helpful. We went over their safety rules and they got us started straight away. Rented a flock and an ak. Got 100 rounds for the rifle and 125 for the glock. They provided ear and eye pro for us. After we grabbed a couple of targets and added it up, All together it was 200& . Not bad. They ensured our safety without babysitting us like some ranges like to do. Everyone I met at the range was safe and friendly. Her and I had a great time shooting. Would definitely recommend this range to anyone and everyone. :) thanks guys read more

Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Gave a great tutorial and made sure my son and I understood everything safely. Next time I will buy more than two boxes of bullets because we were having so much fun we ran out! I will definitely go again. read more

Lone Star Gun Range - At the range station - Gun/Rifle Ranges Near Me - Lockhart, Texas

Checked the place out during recent holiday. Very easy to get signed in and folks behind the counter were very helpful. They have four or five private areas so able to spend focused time with wife and daughter. Allowed to do what we needed to do but cameras are everywhere so safety is an obvious focus. Went back again yesterday to zero two weapons and will be back again. read more

Really great spot for plinking on the 0.22 line. Other lines were available for higher caliber rifles. Looking forward to they clay pigeon shotgun package. Definitely worth checking out this range! read more

There are plenty of good ranges around (and I've been to most of them) if you just want to shoot with friends and have a good time. However, if you want to train for scenarios where your life depends on your skill set it's pretty slim pickins. That's why I was happy to find this range where you can train more realistically, particularly if you rent the tactical bay. The staff here are professional and friendly and management is quick to help sort out any problems you may run into. read more

Rudest staff we've experienced at a range. During a ceasefire, we were lightly jogging to change our targets as to not hold the other shooters up. Was told "STOP RUNNING! What the hell is wrong with you?!" Then on clays, staff is required to load for us. They move super slow and generally give you an annoyed vibe that you are making them work. $10 for labor each load... move a little or higher younger people that aren't jaded by life. Forgot about us on the 2nd load. Can't holster your sidearm so forget related drills there read more

First time coming here, I plan on not coming back. Several friends of mine who are into shooting recommended this place to me that's why I came as a new gun owner myself was looking forward to practice with my Glock. As soon I walked into the office I greeted the guy in the office and told it was my first time there. He didn't seem to really care and had a stand off attitude. He was very rude to me and told me to the read the rules out loud which I did then told me "what the hell are you doing" total asshole just walked out very rude staff. Very hostile place for new shooters/people will not come back. read more

Came here on a Thursday afternoon. We had a great time shooting 2 hand guns and an AR15. Rafael helped us and did an amazing job giving us tips on how to operate the gun, proper shooting stance and shared some really helpful information with us. The place was not crowded with only a handful of friendly patrons. Def check this place out if your in the Austin Area! Its about 40 minutes away. read more
