I hate Bullet Trap, love Targetmasters.
Let me start off by saying I have always hated Bullet Trap, ever since my first visit many years ago. Can't stand the staff or the place. Always rude, overpriced as hell, no ventilation, range is shitty, and didn't even have guns for a long time. However, because it is slightly cheaper and closer than FGC, I do go there when I have friends from out of town who want to shoot. But Targetmasters has been my go-to for an indoor range.
Summary:
- Friend from Cali comes to Texas because he wants to move here. Brings Australian girlfriend with to check out area.
- They want to shoot. Bullet Trap is closest. We go to Bullet Trap.
- Bullet Trap says because girl is Australian and has no U.S. identification, she isn't allowed to shoot there due to Bullet Trap having Class 3 items....we leave (we were not renting, using my weapons and ammo).
- Call Targetmaster's and ask if we can shoot there. They say hell yes.
- Go to Targetmaster's. Have better time on nicer range that is well ventilated, and has a better overall look and feel. Staff is exceedingly nice. Friends have great time.
My question is this: Has anyone ever heard of a law or regulation stating that non-U.S. citizens cannot shoot at a range due to NFA weapons being present? Never heard of this, and was very surprised to even be told this. My gut said he was full of shit honestly, was I wrong to get a little miffed? They said they would have no problem if there weren't Class 3 weapons present in the store.
Also for what it's worth, every weapon I own is NFA registered.
