I went to the Frisco Gun Club on Friday the 13th(bad Idea?). The lobby and range are very nice and plenty of room to set up and shoot. I wish they would put some chairs in shooting area. I was a little concerned with the safety though. I've been to a couple ranges and shoot regularly on some private land so I am very familiar with range etiquette and safety. While signing in, all they required from me was to read a sheet of rules at the counter. I was shown to my lane and that was it. No, "walk through" of rules, , regulations, safety requirements and reminders, where I can set up, load, etc. So the story about the accidental shooting does not surprise me.

To further my concerns, I can hear some jack-hole rapid firing in the room next to me! No staff member was in either room to insure safety and rules were being followed. And when a staff member finally did show up in that room, he swept brass off the floor and didn't say anything to the "Lethal Weapon" guy. This really concerns me with so many newbies getting into guns and wanting to go to the new range.

On the flip side, I went to the Eagle gun range in Lewisville and they had safety as the paramount goal of their facility. They had 1-2 staff members in each room and were walking me through rules and safety reminders all the way to the point I was loaded and ready to shoot.

I hope the FGC get's their act together soon. It's a great facility and I'd hate it to get a bad rap for safety right off the bat. I was going to bring my daughter there, but I will hold off until I know they are putting safety first.
