Great southwest gun range

[Mysticcobrakilla]

I just want to say thanks to the guys at great southwest gun indoor shooting and archery. We took a couple newbs to shoot for the first time. One of them being my girlfriend trying out her brand new lcp. We all had a great time! Top notch place and will be frequenting this range.

I have to differ. I don't like how they have tables behind the firing line. That results in people walking back to the table to reload their mags and guns. I don't like people walking around with loaded pistiols behind me. Reloading should be done at the firing line, not behind other shooters.

That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. You unload at the firing line, you don't go anywhere with a weapon loaded at the range. And you load at the line.

I've never had a problem there and go all the time. That is my regular shooting range. Great place.

That is the only range I have ever been to. And it was the first time I had ever shot a handgun. So I am a complete newb, but I felt comfortable.

As a newb though, I understand what propellerhead is saying. If I didn't have a group there to tell me how things went, I could have possibly gone to the table loaded. I can see how that could be a big issue.

One simple ooops from a newbie and I could have a bullet in my back. No thanks. I'll go west to Winchester in east Fort Worth instead.

I don't have a problem with that but I understand what you are saying. All of the indoor ranges I've been to (including Great SW) have tables behind the shooters. I typically leave my ammo bag there and reload my magazines at that table and leave my gun at my station or bring a box or two up with me. Now if I see something unsafe I'll say something to that individual, tell the range master, or if all else fails I'll leave.

I need to check it out soon!

I often reload mags at tables or other locations not directly on the line. I however do not have my pistol anywhere except on the line. When we did the GTG we had 20 people on 10 lanes and it would have been nice to have some tables to put our stuff, heh.

This is the only range that I will frequent for Pistol / Rifle shooting because:

1) They allow FMJ ammo...that is just awesome. I can't find anywhere else that lets me shoot my spam can 5.45x39 Russian ammunition (even though I did it at Alpine, it's technically not allowed there)

2) They allow rapid fire. Now not like "SAY 'ELLO TO MY LIL' FRIEND" and just mash the trigger as fast as you can, but I like to try double taps and follow up shots. Most ranges have a 1 second rule. I Just wish I could fire something bigger than 7.62x39 (I have a Mosin and a .308 that I want to sight in)

Plus their prices are awesome. Just add a skeet range and I will stop going to Alpine all together.

How could they add a skeet range indoors??

We liked it. We went on a weekday and had extra carrels to ourselves for mag loading, but i could see where the area behind the rightmost carrels was handy for those guys. I didn't see anything unsafe, but then again I can see how that could be abused if it got crowded.

And they have no problem with the 454, though I am using hardcast like elmer intended

WTF is a 'carrel'?
