Well, they are located in a giant hole and not all that easy to get to so maybe they're looking for any way to improve the bottom line. Denying the use of personal targets is a petty and dumb business decision if that's their aim.bblhd672 wrote: ↑Fri Aug 10, 2018 9:15 amQuote from their website:Tex1961 wrote: ↑Fri Aug 10, 2018 8:59 amYes, Many small businesses become penny wise and dollar foolish without realizing it.bblhd672 wrote: ↑Fri Aug 10, 2018 8:39 amI agree with Jusme, taking away LE/Military discounts and no more personal targets could indicate financial reasons.Jusme wrote: ↑Fri Aug 10, 2018 8:22 amMore than likely, they saw that they were not making enough money, if someone brought their own targets, and wanted to be able to charge them inflated prices. I have been to ranges, where the cost for use, included a target, but never have I been told I could not use my own. If that ever happens, I will do exactly as the OP, and never darken their doorway again. JMHO
FWIW, they did respond to my email:
"We appreciate you sending us an email. We respect your decision and will remove you from the membership list.
Range Master"
How many paper targets do you think they could buy with just one month of your membership fees? A couple months of your fees could have put them in enough targets for a year... Yet now they loose a full year's worth of income from not only you but many LEO and Military customers..... What they should have done was INCREASE the discount given to LEO/Military.... Just those few extra dollars they loose out usually comes back 10 fold in revenue as the word get's out....Wonder how half their staff feels about the decision to remove military discount?Our range is a friendly place for all! We are the only range in Texas with a female co-owner and manager. Half of our staff are former military!
From a customer review:Uh...not anymore apparently.They have a great relationship with VETERANS. We gather Special pricing on membership & range fees.
Hmmm...I've never noticed anything "one of a kind" about the range. Perhaps they are referring to their policies!The TxGunrange is a one-of-a-kind outdoor gun range located just south of Dallas Fort-Worth

Re: Not recommended- TX Gun Range Midlothian
Sorry to hear that about the range. I visited when it first opened and wa basicaluy a mud hole. Shooting was limited to short trange pidtol. They seemed like nice folks and told me all the plans they had. I visit Mandfield frequently and have visited several otjer ranges near my daughter. I asked her father in law to go with me to Tx gun range about a year ago and he said no thanks I didn't question why, so I don't know his reason. Went to Alpine which is a stones throw from their home.
