Lone Star Gun Club, Mesquite, Tx. (DFW)

Went and checked this place out earlier this week. Liked it enough to get an annual membership there.

Right now they have 3, 50 yard deep Tactical bays, a 600 yard Rifle range with berms at 200, 300, 400, 500 and 600 yards. They also have a 100 yard range on a different spot of the property.

There's a lot of construction going on right now while they expand, build new sections of range and upgrade the facilities, build bathrooms ect but as long as they can get a decent customer base I think they have a good chance of taking off and being an excellent range. They are building a "pro shop" a bar and grill and some other stuff as well. Supposed to be in the process of getting their FFL.

Daily rates are 20 dollars a person and annual memberships are going for 350 for individuals right now. +1 memberships are an extra 100 dollars. They have family memberships as well but can't remember what those are going for right now. They offer a VIP membership as well if you look on the website it will give you the break down on that I went with the basic individual membership with the option to upgrade to a +1 membership down the line if I want to add the wife to it.

They offer training and competition stuff such as 3 gun matches and what not. I haven't participated in any of those as of yet. But may give a few of them a try when the time comes around.

I went to this place a couple of months ago. I was not that impressed. There is a shotgun range on the opposite side of the 600 yard rifle range berm. The pistol ranges had a rope tied between their divider berms for you to hang your targets on. The pistol range officer told me that the farmer that lives down range from the pistol ranges will occasionally drive his tractor along the back of the pistol ranges. When he does, everyone has to cease fire until he has gone.

I do not have much experience with this type of shooting facility, but this place seemed dangerous to me. The fact that you might catch a stray round from the 600 yard rifle range while shooting on their shotgun range bothers me. The fact that the pistol range has no down range protection berm bothers me. Also, the fact that an adjacent property owner can drive his farm tractor perpendicularly across an unprotected pistol range and then hope everyone will cease fire really bothers me.

I went out there with great anticipation. I really wanted to join a club where I could shoot at distances over 200 yards.

Upon my arrival I went to the main office. I visited with the guys inside and learned what the costs would be and what they had to offer. I asked if I might walk around the complex to see for myself what the layout looked like. They said sure, but you can also drive. I said no, I need the exercise, I will just walk. The place just seemed to have lax security/protection for the shooters and was a rag tag operation at best. I hope they prosper and can eventually make what I consider much needed improvements.

This is just one guy's opinion. I recommend anyone thinking about joining this range go out and check it out yourself. I went out with three rifles and a range bag full of ammo. I did not fire a shot.
