The November event is also sold out...........  Perhaps the organizers should consider more resources so that a larger number of participants can be accomodated.

Hi Woofe,

Unfortunately we are limited to the amount of shooters the designated range can handle.  If you tried to sign up, please do register on the waiting list as we do get cancellations from time to time. I am shoot boss for this event, so if the event remains sold out, please check with me in the week prior to see if we can accomodate any walk ons.  We do get no-shows at events which open up spots, but we won't know that until the shoot day.

In 2011, we are planning on running several shoots at Quail Creek.  If demand continues to be high for these events, we are also working with the range on potential ways to expand capacity at this range. Of course, we could always use more ranges in the DFW area.  If you know of any near the metroplex that might be interested in hosting an event, please let us know so we can approach them.  If you know anyone who is a member at a prospective range, that also helps in presenting a proposal to a range.

Thanks for you interest!  Sorry the event sold out so quickly.  On the positive side, this is a nice problem to have!

Regards,
-Andrew

Andrew:

There are several ranges around the DFW area.  East of Dallas between the Dallas suburb of Mesquite and Forney is a range that could work. They allow FMJ ammo and could host a fairly large number of shooters.  It is across from Devils Bowl race track on Lawson Road.  The name of the place is Gibson's Outpost.  It has 50, 100 and 200 yd rifle ranges.

Ph is (972) 222-8127.  The owner/operator is Frank Gibson.  Give him a call he might be open to hosting an event.

Woofe,
The Terrell event still has 6 openings (as of Monday 10/18) for Nov 27-28. That is a great shooting range too.
