This is primarily a range that allows you to hone your skills. They have steel targets as well as paper. It is located right behind the Quail Creek Shooting Range. The entrance is just to the right of the range. I had a lesson with Brad on drawing from the holster, grip and accuracy ( which was not very good ). Brad was patient and informative and by the end of the lesson my skills were so much better. I was very happy with the 1-1 lesson and I feel more comfortable and accurate. If your going to carry a firearm I believe you really owe it to yourself to be responsible and get trained I highly recommend Proactive Defense read more

This place deserves every star! I called on Friday morning and left a message to have someone call me back. Caleb called me about 30 minutes after my initial call. I asked about renting automatic rifles for a surprise date for my hubby for Saturday (The next day). Caleb quickly set up the appointment and scored us two AMAZING guns to shoot. I cannot express how happy that I am about our experience! Will definitely return. read more

Proactive Defense - Gun/Rifle Ranges Near Me - Northlake, Texas

I had a very good experience at Proactive Defense last weekend. I actually attended with my Krav Maga class and had an excellent time. The range we were using was nice (but honestly could have used a few touch up's on the firing line) nothing you can't get over though. (The ground had netting on it which was being blown all over the place due to the high winds that morning). I think almost if not all range / safety officers came over to our session and talked with us. Each one of them were courteous, professional, and offered great advice. I definitely plan on coming back here on my own to try out the other ranges. read more

Took a CHL course and excepted it to be long and boring. The instructor was very informative and kept the class upbeat and lively. It was actually fun. Range test area was nice and they had several very interesting range areas to progress your firearms skill sets. Would recommend to others for their classes. read more

This is a great place to train. The instructors are great to work with. There classes are top notch. Their firearms and fitness class every other Friday is fantastic. I highly recommend that class. Chris and Brad are the two primary people I have worked with and they really know their stuff. read more

I've been shooting at this tactical range for some time. I enjoy it because it is not a bunch of meat heads shooting as many rounds as possible without regard for doing it correctly. Gun safety is well explained and paramount. The instructors are well trained and very, very humble and patient! Many gun range owners talk down to everyone and you'll never find that here. You'll see men and women, young and older, expensive weapons and folks shooting entry level weapons, people who are very nice from all walks of life. You'll never be intimidated at Proactive Defense. read more

A friend came into town and wanted to visit a range that would allow rapid fire. This was one of few we could find, and I highly recommend making the trip out. The staff coordinating everything was professional and helpful. read more

My gf and I took the LTC class and test here. The instructor, Rob Keller, was great and made the class more entertaining. He gave great examples to tie into real life situations. The shooting part was great as well. I enjoyed that it was outdoors and it was run well, not just thrown together. They were also patient and helpful with a couple new shooters, so don't be intimidated if you're new to guns. Looking forward to taking a couple classes! read more

Brad and Justin are the best of the best! Truly amazing instructors who care about their clients. I am taking their Pistol Foundations class and am blown away by their ability to improve my shooting accuracy in just the first 4 hours. They completely promote empowering women and make learning easy and fun. I cannot recommend them enough, y'all need to take their classes! read more

Great people! I was nervous about taking this class because I'm new to firearms. These people are great if you know a little or a lot about guns. I can't wait to take my next class. They gave me some things to practice on at home using dry fire. I liked this place so much I will probably join and become a member. read more

Yes, this is as good as it gets. Chris Rainey is an expert - knowledgeable, experienced, kind, friendly, accommodating, wise. Listen to him, you will learn. I have taken two courses, I was highly impressed with both. My future training will be with Chris, even though I live in a different state. Awesome. Keep it coming, Chris. (Also, his assistants are powerhouses, eager to teach; eager to have me learn) Randy read more

I feel fortunate to have a place like this close by. They have steel targets, moving targets, allow drawing from a holster (after proper instruction), and will work with you to set up a course of fire for the goal you are trying to accomplish. After coming here, going to another range and standing in a stall seems like a waste of time! :) Chris' #1 priority is safety, and I'm glad there was such a strong emphasis on it when I first started learning. Great people run the range. Very supportive and welcoming to people who are new. I was intimidated being a lady and never having shot before. But these people and the club members are some of the nicest people I've met! Highly recommend taking a class. The skills and knowledge you learn are invaluable! read more

I took a class here a few days ago and was floored by the professionalism and quality every member of the staff displayed. The class was Foundations Pistol and was very safety oriented. I was able to experience drawing from a holster and firing, which in my several years of pistol shooting I have never done, as most ranges don't allow it. Chris and his staff were friendly, polite, and more than willing to share their knowledge. One participant was brand new to shooting and one of the staff took extra time to spend one on one with this person so they would feel safer and more confident. I can't wait to take another class here, and will seriously consider becoming a member. Thanks Chris for your excellence and dedication to shooting sports and self defense. read more

First and foremost Janas is a Godsend! I moved from the extreme liberal state of California and although I have been to an indoor range I really was not very familiar on the basics, I felt pretty confident shooting but had no clue how to load and the smaller steps like this. I was slightly nervous but only because I almost felt like I was doing something illegal haha, it's just not common where I'm from. Janas promptly sent out and responded to texts quickly. I will be honest, her voice was undeniably sweet over the phone and I worried maybe I would be greeted by an amateur but don't let her voice fool you she is pretty bad a** lol. Sweetest thing I have ever met but when it comes to safety and such she is very confident and sure of herself and that made me feel like I was in good hands. I'm so happy I gave this place a try and I highly recommend it for any girl or any beginner, Janas will make you feel comfortable 100%. read more

I recently attended the basic handgun course. I've a pistol shot for years but the instructors made everyone start with the basics of drawing from your holster to assessing the threat to shooting at moving targets. Instructors very patient with the novice shooter but kept everyone engaged. I was there for four hours and the time flew by. Instructors very knowledgable and safety first focused. Definitely looking forward to taking more advanced classes in the future. read more

Came to Fort Worth for the weekend to compete in a tournament and needed a place to button up some gear the day before the shoot. This place was superb! Gunny (range officer that day) treated me w/respect, was very informative, and reminded me to 'always remember the fundamentals'. Simple statement yet so very effective. Back to the range itself, it's a sport shooter's paradise! They have paper and steel to shoot. You can set the steel up for your el presidente or Mozambique drills. They've got plate racks that actually work! Most importantly, everyone was very polite and helpful (unlike many ranges). I didn't sense any ego there whatsoever! And I have to mention the fact that they provide cold water as well so don't forget to bring your yeti rambler, nalgene, or platypus. Cause this TX summer heat is brutal! I wish they'd open up one of these ranges close to where I live. Next time I'm in Fort Worth, you better believe I'm coming back! read more

I took the CHL class taught by Jerry but Chris was present for most of it. Both of them are very knowledgeable, they make the subject matter fun, and they genuinely care that the students in their classes are getting the most for their money. Both Jerry and Chris are very patient and answer the question you ask instead of trying to steer you in another direction. The best thing is these guys are truly passionate about what they do and it shows. I'm looking forward to taking more classes from them. read more
