North Texas DFW OK/TX border plinking

[John76248]

After much research I have learned there is no BLM land in Texas.
Is there any BLM land close to Texas Oklahoma border that is in OK? I want to go out and shoot at my own free will. No desire to go to range.
If so am I allowed to carry guns over state lines for this purpose?
Anyone have private land they would allow me to use for free?

Yes I will clean up after myself. Thanks

Check out www.texasguntalk.com. There's lots of people in your area on there and I'm sure someone would be able to help you find a place to shoot.

Vince, if you are on the East side then I recommend the Garland Public Range.

just northwest of fort worth are the LBJ National grasslands. several sections of rolling prairie land. some good areas for camping and shooting.

Garland public range is in no form "own free will". I even had to "qualify" with pistols I wanted to shoot at 100yds while the RO stood there. Even after doing so (10 rnds into 3.5" @ 100) the owner said no rimfire pistols at 100 only centerfire.


http://www.apgtraining.com/ Is almost to greenville on 380 but they allow drawing from holsters and rapid fire is not a problem they even allow full auto. They have several TAC bays and 300 yd rifle range, most of the time you'll have the place all to yourself.

Odd, I never "qualified" nor have I witnessed anyone else. I have shot my 22lr on the 50/100yard dual station every single time I have gone. I'm not sure what "own free will" means, but every range I have been to has some kind of rule.

The no .22 rimfire rule @ 50 & 100 is only for pistols. "own free will" is what the OP was looking for in post #1.

There is BLM land in TX, right on Hwy 79 out of Byers, but I am thinking youre not from over in this part of TX though, maybe further east near the Metroplex?
