My bro, dad and I flew into town from Toronto, Canada last weekend to watch the Dallas Cowboys play on sunday (my dad is a diehard fan). We flew in on friday and after some bbq headed over to this gun range. My bro had signed us up for the jungle ranger experience. We also tacked on the double ammo add-on (CUZ MORE BULLETS). Instead of Chris, Raine was our instructor for the day. Very nice guy. 10+ yrs as part of the US Marine Corps. We received an intro to range safety inside a classroom before heading over to the range. This was very much needed as both my dad and I have never held a gun before (my bro had already shot guns 3 times prior to this experience). There was a group of friends who took the class with us also happened to be tourists (from Brazil) which was cool. We all had a good laugh about how noob we were. Raine was an excellent teacher! The thing I had to get used to was the sound of the guns firing. Even w/ the ear muffs on it was quite loud so my ears took like 5 mins to adjust to it. Raine told me it was actually much louder for everyone around the shooter. I thought "no way" until I actually stepped up to shoot and then magically the bullet sounds got fainter LOL. Also, I did notice that for some of the guns I tended to aim lower than I was supposed to. Something I'll look to improve! Overall, super fun activity and would do it again the next time I'm in town. Raine also happened to be a Cowboy's fan! read more

I purchased a firearm and signed up for a beginner class to familiarize myself with my new weapon and get a refresher on gun safety. That went great! Following that I signed up for 1 on 1 training with John. I got sick a couple days before & tried to reschedule. The app on the website didnt have that functionality so I called. They couldnt figure it out either but required me to pay 50% anyway. Their app doesnt work so I was forced to pay $50 for a lesson where I would likely get the instructor sick. Rather than reschedule, I will just cancel and find another range. disappointed! read more

It's a really nice range. I've never rented one of their guns, but the selection is outstanding. The people behind the counter are friendly and knowledgable. Overall, the facility is great. The only issue I've ever had is with the employee monitors in the shooting lanes. They hover, and it gets pretty distracting. If you unknowingly break one of the rules (they're a lot of them and they aren't posted) they descend on you and brusquely correct the error. These aren't mean people - they're just doing their job, and it's an important one. However, there's got to be a better way to ensure a safe shooting environment. I'm really conscientious about obeying the range rules, but I can't get through a clip without at least one of these rather harsh admonitions. Again, the place is solid... but there should be a more constructive way to help people that want to follow the rules. The distraction and awkwardness of the constant interruptions affect the experience. read more

Chris Malone and Luis were great instructors. Had a great time and was super fun to do this read more

Overall a great experience! All staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. Their membership and fees are very reasonable. Great classes. I highly recommend! read more

Very informational! Great place if it's your first time shooting/handling a gun. James was my instructor and was very clear and helpful. Everyone on staff was ready to help and talk you through anything you need and answer any questions you had! read more

Don't come here they have a guy standing behind you harassing you the whole time you're shooting commenting on everything you do the ceiling are low & they charge $75 per time you hit the ceiling so if you are new to shooting i wouldn't recommend & they will try to force you to pay before allowing you to continue shooting , very stupid policy , if you are not a professional shooter they will try to scam you , me & my husband both got racist weird vibes this place will not be coming back read more

This was so much fun! The staff were extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Amazing selection. Will definitely be back soon!

The jungle range experience was amazing. Chris Malone was informative, energetic, and extremely professional. He explained all of the safety requirements, how to hold the gun, and oriented my stance correctly based on my dominant eye. Doesn't matter if you're a beginner, he made the entire experience really fun. Would definitely recommend this gun range! read more

Walked in, the main lobby is very nice and has some interesting things to look at. As my husband and I checked in it seemed as if some of the front desk workers were lacking in ability and did not exhibit complete knowledge. We walked in to the bay and were surprised by how dark the facility was. The targets were lighted moderately, but the individual lanes themselves were very dim. As we were shooting we noticed how poor the air filtration system was. All five lanes were full and the carbon and gases were obviously lingering in the air. In terms of safety. There was a family of 5-7 put in the three lanes next to us. It was obvious that the father was having to show everyone how to shoot. Several times some of the daughters flagged themselves and our lane. The only safety violation the RSO brought up was the daughter laying the pistol down perpendicular to the lane instead of down range. My husband is an RSO at mission ridge (highly recommended it's a phenomenal range) and he felt the need to watch that family until they left. It seemed the RSO's did not have a whole lot of safety precautions in place or were willing to correct people. The last thing I'll mention is that shooting instructors were teaching people on the same lanes as everyone else. This is fine except for the person being instructed. It would be more beneficial if there was not other shots going on and the learner could focus just on the shooting instructor. Overall I think this is an "okay" place. But personally we would not come back just because of the lack of safety measures and accountability. read more

The service and friendliness at DFW was unmatched - as first time shooters from Australia we couldn't have asked for a better instructor, we had Luis run us through the jungle experience. He gave a thorough training of gun safety and how to properly prepare, while we in the range he gave clear instruction on what to do and guided us through each step, which made us feel especially safe. There was a wide selection of guns for us to try today & as Aussies who don't get this experience often it was amazing! We would recommend this experience to any of our friends coming & a special thanks to Luis who helped a nervous girl love the craft! We would 100% return. read more

Luis was an excellent instructor. He was very knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and provided clear instruction. Mr. Malone provided great feedback in positioning and making the overall experience great for me and my wife. I've been to the range before only to shoot, but this the zombie escape was a great date experience!! read more

Great Experience! First time firing a machine gun and it was fantastic! James was an excellent teacher and help through the whole experience! Would highly recommend anyone who has never fired before head their and enjoy shredding! read more

I wasn't able to leave a review on this class as I didn't have my phone. I wanted to say Chris was awesome though. I had a lot of fun and he explained everything very well. It was almost like he was ex-military! (I know he was!). The variety of guns you get to shoot in this package is great. So if you're looking for a rifle or handgun, this class can certainly give you some ideas. It was reasonably priced as well at around $250 for an expert trainer and hands on shooting. Super fun class, highly recommended. read more

Very good service. Knowledgeable and helpful. Made us feel comfortable for first time there. Would definitely return. read more

worst place I ever went with the most un reasonable charging structure. they charge at least 2 time's more than any other range. especially for group. don't go or u will be regret read more

Did the Texas Ranger experience with Raine Raine was cool went through gun safety and functionality then we hit the range range was really nice good air circulation. Nice equipment. Really fun Raine did a great job of guiding us. highly recommend if you in the Dallas area. If I lived closer I would frequent this range it was really nice. Raine thank you again read more

I was so thrilled to attend this class! It wasn't just the shot- Chris Malone has an enthusiasm and attention to safety that's perfect for a first timer. Add into that the fact that he has the career credibility to back up his teachings and he's super patient- made for an awesome first time experience! If you're on the fence- don't hesitate any longer. This was incredible! Thank you Chris for supporting us to learn so We can be better prepared to defend our families.

I took the beginner to gun course with Pete M- he was great ! Very informative and great with communication and tips and tricks. The staff was also really nice at the shop.

This place was a amazing . All the guys who work there were so friendly and accommodating and really knew there information. Being from NY it's not easy going to a shooting range and shooting handguns but it was so easy to rent the equipment here and go to your designated shooting area and just have fun . The prices are super cheap we thought at least and it was a lot of fun . Great way to pass the afternoon. We would definitely go back to this place next time we go back to Dallas read more

My first time visiting was for ladies night. The deal was great & the staff was even better. Super friendly and knowledgeable.

I'll definitely be back! read more

Went today for a basic class with Pete and I really enjoyed it. I was nervous but needed to learn and he is filled with information and experience. The first half was safety second we got to shoot. I enjoyed the first half the most but I'm new to the range. Everyone was welcoming and friendly. I would recommend a class for any woman and plan on going back myself. Definitely a freeing experience! read more

Great day shooting! When you travel to Texas, you have to shoot some guns! It was our 1st time in Dallas and found this shooting range on Yelp. Yelp again doesn't let us down! Great, friendly, helpful people! Ethan was our "teacher" and he explained everything thoroughly, so we felt safe and ready to shoot. This was our 2nd time ever shooting guns as a family. My 3 boys 20, 18 & 14 had a great time and at the end they shot a rifle which was a great way to end the day of shooting. Great day and thank you Ethan for your expertise! read more

I took the basic class. Pete is an terrific teacher. Competent. Efficient. Excellent communicator. I ended up purchasing a handgun after trying a few different choices and there was a snafu with the purchase. To their credit, they owned up to the mistake and fixed it. Raine was awesome to work with. Will keep going back. With guns, I want a knowledgeable, friendly group like they have there. Going to do the LTC class next. read more

Friendly/Informative staff. Variety of weapons. Safe lanes. I first went on ladies night. The staff was really helpful making my friend's first time shooting comfortable and Safe for her. I never felt pressured, judged or unsafe. - Quick Summary: I walked in, gave my ID, signed a waiver, got a quick refresher class, picked a gun, bought their ammo, got safety glasses + earplugs + a zombie paper target, waited until a lane was open in their lounge area then got on the range in my own lane & went for it. - Really great place to go if you're rusty, new or experienced read more

This is a wonderfully friendly place. The guys all seem to get along which makes it a pleasure to go here. I haven't made up my mind on the see through dividers between shooting lanes. I do like being able to those shooting close to me but at the same time, I feel like the lane is more narrow. It isn't. That's just my crazy coming out. I've been shooting at another range for a couple years so this takes some getting accustomed to. All in all, DFW is a much nicer range with friendlier staff. read more

First off let me start by saying I have not been shooting here, but my experience with the staff makes me want to come back and give them my business! My car broke down outside of the building and Ted and Kell saw what happened and came out to give us a hand! They helped in every way they could, including jumping my car and even offering to find us a deal on a tow truck! Ted told us awesome stories and they even let us wait inside until someone could come and help with my car! While we were waiting we talked about guns and how little experience my friend and I have with shooting and guns in general. They encouraged us to come back to learn more about gun safety, our rights to bear arms as citizens, and to go shooting! My friend and I both will be coming back to learn more and to shoot, especially on ladies night! read more

The best gun range place I've ever been. Knowledgeable people running a safe and smooth business. This gun range actually told me I've been shooting with the wrong hand?!??!? After I switched hands, I don't miss anymore!!! Not one. This is not a joke, I'm serious. I appreciate the class, the attention to detail, the cleanliness of the facility and the fun selection is great. I'm from California where we have really strict gun laws but the gun ranges are jokes compared to DFW. The only drawback is the pricing was a little high for my taste especially for a place in Texas, but otherwise I would take more of a family or friends to this place read more

Where to stARt... DFW Gun Range was poppin off! We decided to shoot over to DFW GR based on the high caliber Yelp reviews, and we were not disappointed. We had a group of 8 for a bachelor party and didn't make reservations, but we decided to bite the bullet and show up anyway. They were extremely busy, but Troy made his rounds helping 6-7 different customer groups all at once. Troy is a straight-shooter and when we asked questions, he wasn't quick to jump the gun and oversell us. Unlike other shooting ranges, Troy treated us like fellow humans, and not the untrained, unskilled firearm operators that we were whose extent of gun knowledge was obtained from logging 64 hours of Goldeneye gameplay. This place was a blast. I'm glad we took a shot on DFW Gun Range. If you're looking for a friendly atmosphere with a great selection of pew-pew devices, you should be gunning for this place. All of the staff is great and the hospitality is fully-automatic. Can't wait to come back to shoot the rocket launchers and golden gun! read more

I had such a warm welcome from Chris to the shooting range! As a female I'm always a bit hesitant and selective of the environment I want to be shooting in. I met Armando, Scotty, Mario, and Ted and they were all extremely respectful, and no judgement! Very encouraging and positive folks! I had a great experience at this range here! Highly recommend! Already came back a second time and will be coming back again soon! read more

I had a friend visiting from NY and thought that the Ranger Experience, led by Scotty Taylor would be ideal. To say that we had an absolute blast would be a large understatement. Not only was Scotty a great teacher and covered all the safety aspects of the variety of weapons, but honestly such a great person. We felt like we were the best of friends at the end of our Ranger Experience. The whole team at DFW Gun Range are truly a class act. I cannot wait to go back (often)! We simply had the best time.
