I don't go to public ranges much anymore but on the east side of Dallas I normally use Garland Public Shooting Range and Gibsons Outpost in Mesquite.

Now days I usually shoot at my lease or at a friend of mines land. If I need something close to home though I will use one of those two ranges.

Triple C is one of the best ranges I have been to in the US. Very well laid out.

Looks like a good range! I think that's the most expensive range I've ever seen. $60/day or $1,000/year. Ouch!

Garland public range. Forget about Gibson in Mesquite.

Lone Star in Mesquite was good for me, but it is currently closed.

I wouldn't go to Gibson's again. The old man passed away and the son is a piece of work.

I belong to a wonderful outdoor range. Small yearly fee, no other costs. They give you the combination to the gate with a membership, no range officer, ever. 7 miles from the house. I don't want people from the damn metroplex coming here so I'm not telling you where.

NTSA is great if you can get through the waiting list. And afford membership.

I just sold my membership. It's a good club, but whenever I finally had a chance to get out there, it seemed they were always having some match - whether rifle or carbine. Since I like to take a few calibers with me at a time, I could wind up there for a good part of the day, but with a match going it makes it longer. I don't care for crowds either. Would be great for someone who could shoot during the week while others are at work.
