Well I was planning to go out to Magnum Shooting Range in Sanger, TX tomorrow to sight in my Elcan but it turns out the owner decided to close down until January 4th
From a quick google search I came up with absolutely zero solid options for an outdoor rifle range in the Dallas area. Are there any that y'all are familiar with that would be a good place to shoot (not forced to sit down on a bench)? |

Quote HistoryI go there for 5 stand shooting but I hate the rifle range. It's only 100 yards and you are forced to sit down while shooting. |

Check this out.......Up by Decatur. Pretty cool range, 25-200 and out to 800 every other weekend. Looks interesting but they say they don't allow FMJ |

It pretty neat how the long stuff is laid out. Berms every 50 yards or so....starting at 250 ( I think). They are sorta staggered and the 600 is kinda half in the woods. Google earth it. Metal targets all over the place. Some 18x18, some 8" rounds.....some swingers, etc. Its a lot of fun out there. Those that go out there are pretty decent outside of the "know it alls".  Some fancy rifles show up, and then idiots like me that show up with a 16" DPMS and gong targets out to 550.......Not sure they will like my GD style spotting calls on the next go around......"Where did that one hit?"...ME: "Why are you shooting at the 800?" Them: "I was shooting at the
600!" Me: Well, you missed but you hit 2" low and to the left at the white 800.........then laughter" That went over pretty well last week

From the pavement, left is to that area, right takes you to the skeet area, go towards the dot, and that is the 250-800 yrd area |

I enjoy shooting at quail Creek but they don't allow fmj on the rifle range. Not a big deal to me as a hand loader but may turn others away. Nice staff and a lot of the riff raff I've seen at elm fork don't go there
