You mean the one on Duck Creek Rd? If so, yes, I was there two weeks ago for my CCW training. Lou is good people.

Hey Brandon...if you head to Magnum, give me a shout I live all of about 2.5 minutes away from the range.

I'll be off for the next 5 days.

I've been only once about two years ago. They allow FMJ. Don't know about a skeet range. No restrictions on rapid fire that I know of. The owner seemed to be kind of squirrely and paranoid and made no apparent effort to hide the beer he was drinking... nor his Daisy Duke-like cut-off jean shorts.

I seem to recall him claiming to be something like 78yoa and still working for the Denton Co SO (I took that with a grain of salt...). Although he was an odd cat, he didn't seem like an asshole or anything. He wasn't even going to charge me a rental fee on a spotting scope, but I pretty much insisted. Maybe it's because I tend to carry myself well in gun range environments, but he pretty much had a make-yourself-at-home attitude. I was also the only customer there at the time.

Guess he keeps pretty odd hours. I called ahead of time to ensure they were open, but when I got there, I noticed the hours on the sign didn't jive. I recommend calling ahead of time if you go.

The place is pretty ricketty. A fancy-schmancy gun club it's not. I had to help the owner repair a wood cross beam that supports the target pully wire things over the pistol range just so I could shoot. Place isn't exactly the epitome of cleanliness and organization. I had to step over a tire that was sitting in the middle of the office floor so I could get to the pistol range. The pistol range firing line area itself was cluttered with miscellaneous junk.

The rifle range has a covered shooting area, but the floor was pretty bad when I went, and the chairs were trash. Pallets are used for target stands. No range nazis. Serve yourself. I think the range goes up to either 150 or 200yds.

Here's a few pics I snapped while I was there.
