Best Indoor Range in Dallas (Dallas-ish)...?

[Ataim0002]

For the people that actually go to indoor ranges in Dallas, what is the best indoor range in Dallas and why?

I think the three "main" locations are Bullet Trap, Target Master and DFW Gun Club.

I'm looking at locations that people living in Dallas proper would go to. Not Bass Pro, Winchester and places west as I think most would go to ranges closer.

Took a class at DFW Gun Range off Mockingbird not too long ago...
My first experience at an indoor range so take this with the grain of salt - I'm no expert, and not trying to pretend to be - what follows is mostly my experience with some observations of others mixed in...
I believe that DFW Gun Range is the least expensive of the options listed.
Their team is friendly and helpful enough, but don't seem very knowledgeable in any area out side of 'range specific business'. They have a fair selection of rental options, (not good or great) and the range amo is very high. (But aren't they all?)
Weekdays don't appear to be bad, but weekends can be an absolute crowded nightmare. Weekdays, shoot as long as you want for your range fee. Saturday and Sunday, is a one hour limit. No rapid fire - No double taps
As far as the actual shooting range goes: Not happy with the lighting or spacing. Firing lanes are narrow and there's not much aisle space behind the lanes. The lighting seemed dim and insufficient. This left me with the distinct impression of shooting in a cave.
All that said and all things considered - I'd go back - They'll always be a weekday, 'short on travel time', option for me; As it's the closest range to my house and I can make it there after work with enough time to get some effective practice in.

Sorry to be so long winded here - but I asked the same question and got limited response.
I'm just trying to be helpful.
I hear good things about the Bullet Trap and Target Masters but haven't had a chance to check them out yet. Intend to soon. Looking forward to what others might say about them.

What kind of shooting are you looking to do? Bullet trap is the closest indoor range to me, but I normally go to the one in Sherman.

Normal...

Just everyday shooting. Pistols and Rifles. Maybe a can or two. I usually do my F/A shooting at my wife's family's place.

Bullet Trap's rifle range sucks. I don't know of any indoor rifle ranges. If you would consider an outdoor range, I would suggest Elm Fork. They have 100yd rifle and down. Pistol steel too. Good place. Was out there last week.

targetmaster in garland has 7 - 50 yard indoor ranges for rifles. fmj allowed but NOT magnetic.

most outdoor dfw ranges do not allow fmj (gibsons outpost and magnum in sanger are exceptions)
