My comments: Everyone has said that area north of Dallas needs a long range to shoot at and now we have it! Realistically, this is as close to DFW as a new 500 yard range can get. Go and shoot!

thank the lord for this thread... no where decent to shoot a gun north of the metroplex.

another great day at range. dialed in psl and hit the 200 and 300 with scope this time.

Owner now has a flag banner from fence out to mail box so you dont drive past it. This was my 3rd time there and i drove past it even though he had the banner up. Wont do that again.

Plans are for more steel.
Right now... they have an 8" orange steel plate at 200 300 and 400 to qualify on to go to paper on next level.
Also have a 3' x 3' very large orange ar500 steel plate at 500 yards with black dots spray painted on it.
The owner keeps up with the spray paint on the steel so you can always tell where you hit.

This was new.
Went out on Sunday afternoon. They had pistol steel to shoot at (lead only). That is all I know. Photo of pistol plates below.
And pistol bays in the future.
