    Lindale... shoot at a range west of Tyler on Hwy 64.

    I’m on the other side of Tyler from you - between Tyler and Gladewater off 271 a bit. I’ve been looking into the ranges in the area - how do you like that one? Do they have anything in the way of cover/structures to use for learning corners and such?

    Pros and cons.

    Pros: Easy to get to... no hassles, just sign in at the main house and then head over about 50 yards to the pistol range. Never been crowded, sometimes I have the whole range to myself. When there are other shooters, everyone seems to abide by basic range etiquette like going "cold" when someone needs to change/check a target. There is an overhang above the firing line, which provides some shade.

    Cons: Bare bones operation... bring your own targets and clips/stapler to attach them to cardboard. Range seldom gets policed for brass, with a lot of it piling up below the edge of the firing line. No shoot/move allowed, no shooting from behind cover... like an indoor range, stand at your lane and shoot.

    Bottom line: for what I'm paying (I think it was about $100/yr), I have no real complaints. The range caters mostly to the trap and skeet crowd, and the rifle/pistol shooters operate in the fringe.

    Bottom line: for what I'm paying (I think it was about $80/yr), I have no real complaints. The range caters mostly to the trap and skeet crowd, and the rifle/pistol shooters operate in the fringe.

    Thanks for the reply - I’m looking for somewhere I can practice moving and shooting. Sounds like a nice place to collect grass though - unless they have a no collection rule hah

    Atlanta , also shoot at the Texarkana Gun Barn. From time to time I shoot at Smith park on the Arkansas side south of Fouke. Looking for more than a 100 yard rifle close but haven't found one yet.
