I used to buy my archery gear there. When I was a student in Waco in the early 90's, they had an archery range, but nothing with firearms that I remember.

This seems like money left on the table for somebody. If I can convince my wife to live in Waco, which thanks to Chip is more likely these days , I may open one myself!

My dad bought my brother a 686 .357 for his 15th birthday which was 22 years ago. They went there to shoot it and said then entire range stopped and looked to see what was making the big boom.

I have looked into the cost of opening a range and it is not cheap. The main cost being the ventilation system. Plus I would do it outside of the Waco city limits as they are completely nuts with their codes. While it is something I would love to do, I would need financial backing. The gamble is, if it were ran right, would the Waco area support it enough to remain in business? I have ideas for what I would like to do but just don't know if they are feasible.
