1500 yd range near Dallas "update:open shoot"

Re: opening 1000-2000 range near Dallas, need partner

I guess I will have to drive my ass up to Dallas one of these days once I get my .300 WM built. I lived right next to a gun range in Panola County. My parents used to complain (to themselves) about the shooting. But after awhile, we become used to the sounds and was naturally flushed out from our ears. Though sometimes when we had company over, they would ask if the shooting ever got on our nerves...the usual response was "what shooting?".

I'm in Dallas and would do literally anything for this range. Please keep us in the loop.

I have moved out of the Dallas area 3 years ago. I visit with family at least once a year. I have a BUNCH of shooting Buddies there in the DFW area, and I am sure we could make a day of it if it can be a pay to play situation.

Please consider that, and I am sure your business will thrive!!

I don't live in Dallas... but my brother does. And he and I are both gun nuts. I really hope you are able to get this place set up! I've got a new 50 BMG just waiting to stretch its legs.

Re: opening 1500 range near Dallas "update"

It's been about 2 months since the last update so I will fill you guys in. I've been overseas for the past month and a half so not much physically has changed.

Coming up in July... Texas is trying to pass new legislation to protect shooting ranges from noise complaints and nuisance ect. If HB-1595 passes, only pre-existing ranges will be covered. The deadline for having a club up and running is Sept. I do not plan on pushing dirt until Nov. You can see my delimma here.

So here is what im doing, because this is a prvate club on private land anyways, I need 20 people to come out one weekend and sign up for a temp membership and shoot some steel out to 900 yds (thats as far as i have cleared so far) Texas considers a gun club to have at least 20 members who have shot within the past year, hence i need 20 guys to come out and shoot. Temp membership is $10. This will probably happen on the 2nd or 3rd weekend of July. If you have any interest in coming out to see the layout and hear what we are building then shoot me a PM or email me at the address in the OP.

Thanks for the strong support, This is going to be Your range...

Re: opening 1500 range near Dallas "update"

I will most likely be oversees at that time but I am sure you won't have trouble finding volunteers.

 

[blklabs]

Re: opening 1500 range near Dallas "update"

Make it the 3rd weekend in July as I know of at least 5-10 SH member going to CKA's range on the 9th. I am sure some of them would head over to your place the next weekend to help out.

Re: opening 1500 range near Dallas "update"

Either weekend works for me, always preferred steel to paper.

Singlemalt and Cigar room !

 

[notquiteright]

Re: opening 1500 range near Dallas "update"

Gasoline and penis replacers?! I think not!

Rather have bikini babes fan us while shooting and massage tired shoulders after!

 

[uhcoog1]

Re: opening 1500 range near Dallas "update"

If you end up short of 20, let me know, and I might make the drive from Houston with a buddy or two.

 

[Goose375]

Re: opening 1500 range near Dallas "update"

just drop me your name and number or email and I will give you a call with a date and directions once i know.

[Goose375]

Re: opening 1500 range near Dallas "update"

I'll remember that when Im adjusting your family discount.... Ass!!

 

[Dustyj357]

Re: opening 1500 range near Dallas "update"

I have seen the plans for the range. Its going to be a badass place. Goose has some great ideas for the future. The tournaments are going to be great with the current design scheme. If you have the time and are in the area (can't beat the distance to Dallas) you should definitely come out and support the range.

 

[Goose375]

Re: opening 1500 range near Dallas "update"

thats more like it...

 

[Goose375]

Re: opening 1500 range near Dallas "update"

The 20 man shoot will be the weekend of July 16/17th. Probably just one of the days, not both. I've got a few guys down to shoot, just PM me your email or number and I can get you directions and let you know a little more about it. Thanks Goose

a few hits on the 1000

only 4 hits on the 1100

Re: opening 1000-2000 range near Dallas, need partner

you can either tag this thread or search North East Texas Tactical on facebk, If we have another shoot before the years end that is where you will hear about it.

 

[wtopace]

Re: opening 1000-2000 range near Dallas, need partner

Thanks again for setting up the shoot Adam! It was a lot of fun and good to meet some people from the boards there too.

To the people that were wearing shemaghs - I have never tried one, are they really worthwhile? If so, where do you normally pick them up from?
