Does anyone know how long the rifle lanes are at Bass Pro Shops in Grapevine, TX?
If I'm not hunting something I must be dead.

I think they only have a pistol range but I am not certain. Might want to call them, 972-724-2018.

They've remodeled recently but a couple years ago they had a 100 yd rifle tube. Would assume it's still in operation but I'd recommend calling first to at least make a reservation as there was always a waiting list to use it (several days IME).
You could also go to Quail Creek on 1171 in Flower Mound. They have space open usually and a 100 yd range. Great guys that own it BTW.
Regards, Scott

100 yard tube but the markings is in feet. 25 feet, 50 feet, 75 feet, 150 feet and 300 feet.

If you get to shoot there make sure you take shooting glasses and hearing protection. They are required.

It is a 100 yard tube that runs underneath the store. It's been there all along. You DO have to set an appointment.

I am shooting today at 3:00. I had to get that a few days in advance this time of year. Even week days are booked all day long.

Definately bring good hearing/eye protection for this tube. The "blow back", especially when shooting a magnum rifle, is fierce. And have all your ducks in a row ahead of time. Because they limit you to 1 hour increments, you can find yourself in the middle of sighting your 2nd rifle and get booted. Positive of this tube is 1.) no wind 2.) they provide a lead sled.
To be sure of hitting the target, shoot first and call whatever you hit the target.www.NewHopeEquine.com - Health and Healing through Horses.

I have shot a few time at Bass Pro. Call ahead, frequently the 100 yard tube is down for repairs. Apparently part of the mechanism or chain drive is damaged frequently by a direct hit. Mike

Elm Fork is $15.00 and on the 100 yard range your rifle has to be scoped and can only shoot SP ammo
too many guns - too little time

I go to Quail Creek, 1171 & 35W. I could've sworn that the tubes at Bass Pro were only 50 yds.
