Garland Public Shooting Range

Basic outdoor range; plenty of room for rifle (50 – 100 yards), pistol (3, 7, 15, or 25 yds), and shotgun (aerial clays or boxes on ground). The range is clean and safe. The range rules are posted everywhere; obey the safety rules and the Range Officers will be help you have fun in a safe way! OK, OK, yes — I work here — but all of the above is still true!

Pretty standard range. Requires a 4 minute safety video first time out and a $ 15 lifetime membership fee. After that it’s $ 15 to shoot for a day. It’s an outdoor range so the weather has taken a toll on it. Could use a little refurbishment in areas but that doesn’t bother me. It’s simply a place to shoot your guns. If you want to pay more for heat or A/​C, by all means go to an indoor range that will cost more and not let you use your shotgun or rifle rounds.

This is a great shooting range. It is literally 1 minute away from me. I need to go there more often. Great safety, great fun. Can’t wait to go next week

Dealing rudely with new customers, didn’t like it at all.
We have excellent shooting experience, but the guy insist to bring an instructor he knows to let us get in!
Bad way to make money.

Nice little range very convenient to most of DFW due to its location right next to HWY 190/​George Bush. The equipment has seen better days. The chairs and bench seats all feel like rocking chairs. When you go there be sure to bring door wedges to keep the chairs from wobbling or else you’ll fall over backwards when you pull the trigger on that high powered rifle! LOL! Also, the range office is not sound proof so this makes it awkward to communicate with the cashier with your ear muffs on. The first time you go, it is a bit more expensive than other places. It is $ 30 for newbies because you will need to watch a safety video before they give you a lifetime membership card. The next time you go, give them your membership card and you’ll only be charged $ 15. Finally, on a girly note, I did not go to the restroom here, so I cannot comment on what it’s like. If I make use of the bathroom, here, I will add to my review later. Also, other ranges such as Dallas Pistol Club charge $ 1 for their drinks but their soda machine is $ 2 per 20 oz bottle. Also, unlike Dallas Pistol Club, they do not allow draw from holster, double taps and rapid fire.
On the positive side, unlke the Frisco gun club, you will not be charged by the hour here on their rifle range. You’ll only be charged $ 15 all day and you may use all their ranges; skeet/​shotgun, rifle (25, 50, 100 yds), and pistols. Unlike Elm Fork, you are allowed to shoot your AK-​47, SKS, and other «commie gun» here on their 100 yard range. The only thing you cannot do is use FMJ ball ammo. You may use hollow points, soft points, etc, for your rifles, just not FMJ. FMJ for handguns is fine. Finally, the most important thing is that they are very safety conscious. Their range officers do not babysit you, but your fellow shooters will remind you and/​or report you to the range officer if you are unsafe. They do watch you closely during «cease fire», though. I felt very safe there. This is a family oriented facility and there were lots of little kids here, but they were all very well supervised. They also sell ammo for the most common guns and target papers, too.
This is a very good range and I will be back.

This is a great range, I would drive miles out of my way to go there at least once a week. I like to shoot clay pigeons and there’s not very many ranges in the Dallas area for that. One thing that I appreciate is that the range master is not up your ass, he keeps a vigilant I put doesn’t bother you constantly like at other ranges.

This is a good facility to come to and just practice or try out weapons that you recently acquired or hand out with friends and just have a great time. I like this location for a couple reason. 1) its fairly inexpensive compared to other ranges. 2) its not as far as other ranges are in the DFW area compared to where I live.
That being said, the range has to shut down often to allow people to set up targets and practice. They have a trap side, rifle, and also pistol and tactical shotgun bay to use. I can’t really complain for the price you pay to target practice.
I primarily come here to maintain my skills with my USP .45 and Keltec KSG mainly for memory purposes. This time we came out because my friends has several class 3 items that I wanted to test out. Make sure to bring fluids during the summer as it can get pretty hot outside here in Texas.

Since I been a resident of garland, tx it has been my main range the staff is very helpful, the range offficers do not play when it comes to safety which is a plus

Nothing special about this outdoor shooting range. Mediocre at best. It was muddy and ruined my new running shoes. Plus with the Texas heat and humidity, it can make for a miserable time.
They do have a hand gun, rifle and shot gun range. When you first arrive, you have to wait about 25 minutes before they cease fire so you put up your targets.
If it’s your first time here, you have to watch a 4 minute safety video before you can purchase your range card.

Pretty standard fare for outdoor gun ranges. 20 minute cycles from hot to cold. More than enough ranges ops, clays, rifle 50 and 100 and pistol bays. Clays are self throwers single and double. You can unbolt on the pistol bays to bore sight your rifle but not shoot. Adjust for windage; there are no side blocks.
Vending and a small shop in case you’re u forgot something. Bring your own clays or buy them there. Guys said they were 90 for $ 11. Addressing price: $ 15 membership card and $ 15 per shooter OR SPECTATORS inside the fence. Some have said range officers were pissy; they were just doing what should be done. I had a good experience but then again I know the difference between shooting in my own back yard and someone else’s.
Yes, you have to watch a video but whatever. They do your paperwork at the same time and it happens between patrons.
The only negs are that it’s on the damn tollway and they dont do fmj rifle, not even AR so unless you want to shoot premium, leave it at home.

This was my first visit to this shooting range. When my dad and I walked in the man at the counter greeted us and was friendly. Since we were first timers we had to watch a short safety video explaining the rules of the range.
We did shooting on both the rifle and pistol range. The range is well maintained and clean for a outdoor range. The range officer was friendly and took safety very seriously. I felt safe at the range. The targets and ammo they have for sell are at a good price and not marked up.

It’s a great range. The stalls and targets are extraordinary. The staff are ok, but they don’t go out of their way to be nice or extra helpful. Overall I would recommend going here.

Of all the stupid things I’ve done, I laid my gold ring (one small diamond in the middle) on the shooting table, pistol range. I left without it, but returned as soon as I realized my mistake. I never found it. Please contact me if you know anything.
I FOUND IT! The range master and staff went out of his way to help me.
Safety of the place: Although I haven’t noticed them pacing the range looking for violators, I feel they do everything they can to make it safe. The range master did stop some shooters after a cease fire and warn them about their violation.
Individuals have to take responsibility. I was reminded of a violation by another shooter more than once, so shooter tend to look out for others there.

rude personal… prefer act like a A… s, then be friendly and explain or be positive!
Expend a little more and go to a friendly place… yelling does not educate!
*older barkers frustrate in life…
not welcome to

Still my favorite burm in DFW. It is comfortable, the same way your favorite pair of jeans are comfortable… until it gets overcrowded. The range could use a bit of TLC, especially on the skeet line, but there’s no better place to meet up with yourself and smell gun smoke.

UNSAFE UNSAFE UNSAFE! STAY AWAY!!! The range officer’s idea of doing their job is sitting on their butts just outside the office and talking on the PA system. I have had other shooters next to me fail to keep their weapons pointed downrange and actually point them at me. I have had a shooter with a 50 caliber Smith and Wesson revolver firing unsafe hand-​loaded ammo (squibs followed by full power loads) right next to me, causing all others to vacate their shooting stations. I was sitting next to a rifle shooter who accidentally discharged his rifle at a 45 degree angle over the horizon when his hand slipped off the bolt and contacted his trigger. ALL THIS GOES UNSEEN BY THE RANGE OFFICERS BECAUSE THEY ARE SITTING ON THEIR ASSES! BUT — DO NOT DARE TO MAKE THE MISTAKE OF CROSSING THE LINE DURING A CEASE FIRE! THE RANGE OFFICER CAN SEE THIS FROM HIS LAWN CHAIR AND YOU WILL BE EXCORIATED OVER THE PA SYSTEM AS IF YOU JUST SHOT YOUR NEIGHBOR IN THE FOOT!
This place is a serious accident waiting to happen! I cannot believe the City of Garland allows it to continue in such an urban environment. I cannot believe that the City of Garland allows this place to operate in the name of the city («Garland Public Shooting Range») as if it is a city facility, when it is actually a private business! When someone dies (and they will) the city will be liable.
PLEASE PLEASE GO ELSEWHERE! AND — IF You live downrange from this life threatening hazard — MOVE — NOW!

CASH ONLY
It cost $ 20 the first time and then $ 10 after that. Also the first time you go you will be required to watch a 14 minute safety video. The price here is the cheapest I have heard of in the metro plex. They have a pistol range, rifle range and shot gun range. The facility is nothing fancy as you can tell from pics but it is worth the price. They appeared to have plenty of safety range officers. They let you shoot for about 20 minutes then there is a cease fire. The safety range officer did a great job of making sure everyone observed the cease fire and made sure no one was near thier weapons before calling it all clear. After 20 minutes of shooting you can go look at your target and post up a new one.
As stated they only take cash. Most other places charge about $ 25 each time so this place can not be beat. Minors are welcome you just have to pay $ 10 for them and they must be by your side at all times.

This is my favorite range in the Metroplex. Others in the area do some things really well, and have their advantages, but GPS has everything. Once you have your membership you can go shoot all day for $ 10. We have spent many a day taking advantage of all three of their shooting areas; shotgun, rifle, and handgun. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and always willing to help with anything they can.
Be mindful that the range can get very busy at times. The handgun range can get very busy anytime of the year, but rifle and shotgun will really pick up around dove and deer seasons. They have a lot of lanes in all three areas, and they can manage their load of shooters better than any other range.
Cash and check only here!

My friend recommended this place to me and the first time I went, I was sold. Jessica C, has the cost wrong, it’s $ 10 for a lifetime membership and $ 10 for an all day pass (you can come and go as you please).
If it’s your first time, you’ll need to watch a short video on gun safety. Here’s the cliff notes: Point your gun down range at all times. Don’t cross the yellow line or even go close to your firearms during a cease fire.
I’m a shotgun kind of guy. Shooting paper targets can be fun. Get an AR-​15 and lots of fun can be had, but in all honesty, I like moving targets. GPSR has four clay pigeon throwers. Bring your shotgun, a box of shells and a box of pigeons and YEEHAW! Be aware that the thrower arm should be turned in a counterclockwise direction to recock, not clockwise! You’ll get a nasty bruise. This is from experience. If you’re lucky, you can have two throwers to your group and shoot at more than one target at a time.
Squirrels on the rifle range do not give you the right to shoot in other people’s lanes.
The staff are super nice and are always available to help you out and are quick about it. One of the throwers had a broken spring and I talked to the safety officer and he got a new one lickety split.
Most of the people that shoot here are very nice. More than once, we’ve struck up a conversation with the people next to us and I’m sure if I had asked, they would have let me shoot their shotguns and vice versa.
Sure you can go to Elm Fork and shoot their 18 hole course, but that’s $ 50 just for the «green fees», you still need to bring a box of 100 shells and a golf cart is not necessary but is recommended.
I’ve gone 3 times and haven’t ever had a problem.
Parking is the only thing that is a problem. There’s no paved parking lot, so be careful where you park if the ground is saturated.
Bottom line: If you like to shoot at things, this is a great place to do it legally!

Lock and load. Do you like guns and shooting? I do. I guess I’m a Texas gal.
I have been a member of this outdoor gun range for 2 years now and I love it! It costs $ 10 for a year membership and then $ 10 each time to come and shoot. Either bring your own gun or rent theirs. I rent each time and buy the bullets and the total comes out to about $ 50 (with my target, ear piece, gun, ammo).
The staff there are extremely n ice as well. They will give you any assistance with a reminder ‘crash course’ if you need help with gun instruction again. Haha.
They have a rifle, pistol and shotgun range. Take your pick. Real simple shooting for some simple fun. Shoot yourself happy here!
