Re: McKinney CHL

I just moved up to the Sherman/Denison area and had no idea about the Tom Bean range! My husband and I are very excited as this will be the first range we've found that allows things like drawing from a holster.
Plus, driving down to Garland to shoot rifles would have been a pain in the rear since there's only a pistol range up here in Sherman.
THANKS!! :D

Re: McKinney CHL

I just discovered a great shooting range in Sherman if you're willing to make the drive up there - it's about 50 minutes.
It's called Red River Firearms and they have a very nice 25yd handgun range and offer a CHL class several times a month for $120 - it includes everything but ammo. Only thing is, if you're shooting for pleasure and use silhouettes they don't allow headshots.
Their system is electronic so you don't have to guess at odd yardage - just punch it in and off your target goes. They also have a large "glass wall" of sorts that allows an observer to watch the shooters without actually being in the same room, which I found desirable.

Re: McKinney CHL

Target Master is technically in Dallas, right off 635 and Jupiter. Their website is http://www.targetmasters.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;. It's not a bad drive for us (we're right at SH 121 and 75) and we enjoy the staff there more than any other range. They're knowledgeable but not overly biased or pompous like we have found at other ranges (not any of the ranges listed here, though - other areas of Texas). :)

Re: McKinney CHL

I'm not terribly fond of Bullet Trap and haven't been out to Elm Fork, but there are two good ranges you should try that my husband and I frequent:
Garland Gun Range is an outdoor range with friendly staff. It'll cost you $10 for a lifetime range card and another $10 every time you go shooting. Hearing/eye protection will cost you $2 each. You can bring as many guns as you like and switch between the ranges without additional fee. If we want to skeet shoot or just want to go outdoors this is our first choice.
Target Master is an indoor range with friendly staff as well. They have a nice selection of new and used guns as well as rentals available. Range fee is $15 and it includes a target sheet. Hearing/eye protection costs $2 each (I think). They also have reload ammo they make themselves which works just fine in our guns. This is by far our favorite range.

These are both a little bit of a drive from McKinney (we live here too :)) but worth it for nice knowledgeable staff and cheaper fees than Bullet Trap or Elm Fork.
Unfortunately the Collin County Gun Range off 380 out by Princeton was shut down years ago due to zoning issues. Wish it was still open. :(
