A little different ask than usual. I have hunting lease for different game as well a year round lease, but I'm looking for land to use for only target shooting. Key characteristics: - First (and hopefully most obvious): Safe direction of fire
- Second: A minimum of 250 yard shots
- Third: Within 20-40 minutes of 380 and Dallas North Tollway
- Fourth: Decent line of fire (i.e. no 6 foot tall plow fields that limit visibility
I imagine I'm looking for a needle in a haystack, but I figured I should at least try. I'm a responsible lessee that will clean up all casings, debris, targets, etc.. I imagine frequency of use is 1-3 times per month.

Located close to 380 and DNT.
Yes, I’ve seen JG’s range and have read a number of his posts. Definitely a good backup if I can’t find something else.

I’d recommend Small Groups Rifle Range at smallgroupsriflerange.com. It’s run by Tim Sharp who is a great guy. Private range that has shooting to 300 yards. Never crowded.
It’s the n Cumby so you are looking at an hour and fifteen minute drive but well worth it.

I appreciate everyone’s suggestions on actual shooting ranges, and I realize that the title could be misconstrued to say I’m looking for an actual range. To clarify, I’m looking for a lease where I will only be using it as a shooting range.

If you were a random landowner, would you lease to someone with the terms you describe? Someone you don’t know comin out to your place, up to 3 times/month, setting up & shooting? Anyone who has enough land as you describe probably doesn’t neeed the small amount of money it would bring in, compared to the massive amount of liability & PITA that goes with it. Especially anywhere that close to Dallas......
I wish you all the luck OP, but your askin for quite a bit........good luck.

Im looking for the same around San Antonio, but to shoot up to a mile. We are willing to pay a good penny for year around access.
