Looking to open a new shooting club..?

[Savageman]

Hey all, I have been tossing the idea of starting a new shooting club down here in the mansfield area. I have been receiving a lot of positive feedback and interest. I would like to offer a membership type organization that could offer a place to shoot, offering primarily long range rifle shooting. I would like to see 100-500+ Yd lanes with pistol as well. I Would like it to be as unrestricted as possible while maintaining high safety awareness. Would like to have shooting competitions and a wide variety of other events as well. It is envisioned as a family friendly club where we can teach and share our passions with our family. I encourage any of you that have interest in this to contact me and get involved in building this organization with me. Thanks and I look forward to hearing from you and shooting together someday in the near future.

Sounds great. In the Frisco area we have lost four / five ranges in as many years. There was hope for one that opened recently but I believe the price got to be a bit high.

What is the pricing struture for your range? What will the restrictions be?

Still in early development. We ere thinking about 20.00 a month on membership dues. Restrictions probably being full auto. Remember that this would open and operate as a club or organization at meet times and dates. Not a public for profit range . Facility would be operated and maintained by its members.

If you haven't already, get in touch w/the NRA's Range Development folks.....a LOT of info there, along with insurance resources AND grants are often available for public ranges.

Still in early development.

Does "early development" mean you don't have the land yet?
