Saw this place on arfcom. You Texas folks may already be aware of this range. If not, sounds like a great place for an Appleseed with full distance facilities.

This range is just NE of Dallas, maybe 30 minutes from Dallas, FYI.
I have not been present on this range.
Just providing location information.
Brett out.
Could that be the same top gun folks who hosted the mingus shoot Oct 06?
If memory serves they used that name #)
Voortekker were you there at that time? I kinda recall meeting you there .
This must be a new location. I've never heard of it before. Looks promising though. Initial contact sent.
This is a new range I believe. I stumbled across it last week while looking at Gibson's Outpost in Dallas.
One main concern off the bat is the second picture on their website which shows what appear to be fairly minimal berms and in some kind of staggered layout. Those don't work as well for Appleseeds because we have to essentially shut down the whole range to shoot at 25m. Also their range fee is fairly steep ($20/day).
Of course, any range is worth looking at and contacting.
The local ranges have mentioned something about a new range in the metroplex. Thanks for finding the range, we contacted them about hosting an AS already!!!
Hmmm, not too far from me, either. O0
Not as close as ASC, a little further (for me) than Gibsons (closest range that allows me to shoot prone) but looks to be closer than TacPro. May try to check em out Thu or Fri this week (appear to be open only Thu - Sat and after Church Sundays) and report back to yall.
We met with the owner today and he is thrilled to host an Appleseed. The owner is going to shut down his range for our weekends allowing us to place our targets on the berm. We will have our first shoot March 19-20th of 2011!
The owner will let us fire all caliber rifles and we can use FMJ. The range fee is reduced for Appleseed to 30.0 for the event. We can fit 20 shooters on the line with the possibility to extend for future events. The range just opened a few months ago and the owner is building more areas.
The owner is helping with promotions and will even submit a write up to the local papers about Appleseed!!!!
