John Taylor · Accepted Answer

Yes you can rent different guns and fore them at the range.

Question 3

How much does the range cost? I have my own handgun.

Paul Freed · Accepted Answer

$20, or $15 if you're Military. I think LEOs get a discount as well

Question 4

I dont have much experience in guns. I would like to try to learn more, even if I dont buy one for several years. Where do I start? Do I rent a gun, then get the license, then buy a gun? What do I do first?

Daryl Howard · Accepted Answer

I would suggest taking a beginner handgun class. A carry class would start you with good skills and understanding, plus discuss all safety  and legal issues. You should be able to rent\borrow a handgun at that time.

Then return to the range to rent several. Even if others like a particular brand or style whatever you choose should fit your hand as well as your style.

Caliber-wise there are several good reasons to choose 9 mm. Starting with cost per round and manageable recoil. There are many opinions online to consider as well.

Personnel at the range would be glad to help you find something suitable. Don't get in a hurry or you might end up with an expensive paper weight.

A license is not required to purchase a firearm in Texas.

Attend a NRA Basics of Pistol Shooting course.  You can attend the class on line, but in person is better.

I would rent or borrow before you buy.  Watch videos on YouTube about firearms you are interested in

Borrowing will be a lot cheaper than renting.

Samantha Rummel · Answer

Yes you can. $15 for handguns, $20 for rifles and they have a wide range of to choose from. You can call them and actually ask them if they have the one you'd like to rent ahead of time too.

Question 9

What are the requirements in order to use gun range??

David J. · Accepted Answer

Sign a waiver. Name and address for first time shooters at the range. Range fee, rental fee(if you use their guns), and target fee (a dollar or two for paper target at which to shoot).

Samantha Rummel · Answer

Leave your DL, pay the $15 rental if you rent a handgun, you can pay $20 if you aren't a member but I'd look into membership because the unlimited visits are well worth it.. Pay $1-2 depending upon the target, and for your eyes and ears and ammo unless ya have your own... I think it's just typical range requirements except the price list may be a little different... And know which range area you can and cannot use... Which isn't a big deal deal, simple enough.. Don't use a shotgun where it says, "NO SHOTGUNS" - - but just call them and ask anything ya are curious about.. They're open every day until 1900 and are always great folks!

E Bulsterbaum · Answer

You can rent a gun or bring your own, bring your ear and eye protection or use theirs. You rent range time.

Lone Star Bushcraft · Answer

Old enough to own the firearm youre bringing in.  Bring eye and ear protection if you have it, or you can rent it there

Question 10

The course?

Terence Painter · Accepted Answer

No,  after one year you must retake the course.  Good news is the course is shorter now.

Michael Obert · Answer

If I want a Firearm shipped to y'all (as an FFL) is there a charge?

Steve Boley · Answer

You have to redo everything because there law changing renewals to not have to redo the qualification wasn't till 2013 and did not grandfather prior licenses. After this any class certification is good for 2 yrs to do initial submission.
