I did it...I took the plunge and got a bow after shooting friends' bows with good results. Got it set up by those in the know and have it shooting great at 20 yds. (the depth of my back yard), so now I would like to find an archery range where I can dial my pins in at greater distances and practice now & then.
Where to go in the Dallas area?
Thanks for any help!!

Thanks, Bo. Do they charge a fee per visit like a gun range?

Collin County has a range you can use year around if you become a member.

I live in Frisco as well and belong to the Texins Archery Range. Absolutely the best range in DFW. They're the only place in Dallas that has a broadhead range, which is nice to prepare for hunting season. They also have a 3D course, a target shooting area, a field course, and a stump range (with tripods, ground blinds, etc. to shoot from).
You can check them out for Sat mornings from 9 am-noon, when the range is open to the public.

Hey, Passthru....how you doin'? Didn't I see a pic of you recently with a first bow kill of some kind? I understand there may be another pig hunt in the works when deer season's over...maybe I'll take the bow this time instead of the cannons:)

Thanks, Gus. Guess I'm gonna have to join Texins. Looks like a great place & it's between work & the house, so it's a natural fit.

I know their website says it but is Texins really a 24/7 range? It might be worth it for me to join so I can go practice after work otherwise I'll have to go to Syracuse because it's close to the house

Yes it is. The gate has a coded lock on it and after you join you have 24/7 access. There are lights on the ranges that you turn on and off. Great place to shoot.

Yep, I work in Dallas, and hit the range after work once in a while. During the spring, summer, and fall they have "League Night" on Wed nights. You pay $5 each time you shoot, and they have a 3D course set up. Pretty cool way to meet other members. Kind of like a bowling league for archers.
As eedsmx691 mentioned, you have access to the range 24/7, 365 days a year.
