Is Januar 11th still looking like first day? I'd love to be one of your first customers.

I had to pay for a ticket in Grand Prairie a couple months ago and happen to drive by your building. On the way home I pulled into the parking lot and figured out it wasn't open yet. So I am excited to see you posting on this forum.

Welcome to the neighborhood!

Yes sir, If everything goes as planned we should be open Tues Jan 11th for business. We may try to do a VIP soft opening for fans of our facebook page before that if it is a possibility. If you use facebook go to our website at http://www.greatsouthwestgun.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; click the facebook link at the bottom and "like" our page to become a fan.

See you soon!

Paul

Edit

Just an update, looks like we're going to get held up by something to do with the city. Our official opening date has to get delayed by 10 days unfortunately

So, Jan. 11.....

Are you kidding? Who would NOT want to work at a range? I'll email you.

Oh sorry man, I was just kidding because you said open 24/7 ...lol. But to be honest with you if you're interested we should keep in touch because we'll need help as we grow. Send me a PM with your info so I can have it saved.

So it's free and open 24/7? j/k

I plan to be there often. It's close enough to work to go shoot at lunch. Great to see something nearby.

Not unless you might be looking for a job working nights

We gotta sleep sometime...even if it's not much these days.

Are you guys OK with full-auto/sub guns?

Thanks!

Tax stamp plus photo ID = good to go in our range

We're a family of shooters who got the opportunity to take everything that was awesome about indoor ranges and gun stores and make it better. Everything that we hated about them we did away with. What we came up with was what (we hope )everyone is looking for in a gun range and retail store.

MrPaul, opening and operating a gun range is a true labor of love. You have my gratitude for making the shooting sports to even more accessible to DFW residents!

Thanks!!

Just an update for anyone following this thread, we're scheduled to open for the 1st of Jan.

YES! We just have to iron out some times etc.

Hey tfrazier,

Thanks, we really tried to make our business plan fit a reasonable range rate. The same goes for guns and ammo as well. The only ammo restrictions we have are no armor piercing, incendiary, or tracer rounds.

All Magnums, HP's, Ball, etc. is all good to go.
