Eagle Peak Shooting Range - 50 yard shooting bench - Gun/Rifle Ranges Near Me - Leander, Texas

Firstly, don't let yourself be deterred by all the poor reviews. I've read through lots of them and the majority are people who BROKE THE RULES and didn't like getting yelled at. Tough! This isn't a spa, it's a gun range where someone mishandling a firearm could mean the difference between life and death. Follow the very simple rules and you don't have to worry about the range master. I also saw comments on racism. I'm a 39yr old Latino and the staff has always been nothing but respectful to me, so please pay no attention to the sensitive snowflakes on here calling them racist. The Range: The range costs $25 per person, and no spectators are allowed. meaning that everyone has to undergo the orientation regardless if they're shooting or not. Newcomers will need to watch a 5-minute orientation video on the range rules before they are given their own lifetime range card. ATM is on site. The range has a split pistol and rifle range, with separate areas for shotguns and skeet shooting. Pistol ranges are between 7yds and 25yds (I think) and Rifle ranges are 50yds up to 300yds. All the bays are covered, benches have sandbags, and there is extra seating. Cease-fire occurs ever 20min. My Review: I've been coming here for years now. This has been the best 300yd range that is relatively near my home where I can sit down, smoke a cigar while I work on my load testing. The range does have a rule against FMJ ammo which is strange hence the 4-stars instead of 5. So make sure you bring soft-point ammo. They will check your mags during cease fires so don't try and be sneaky. They have ammo for sale but like most other ranges, you will be paying more. This place is in the sticks, just passed Cedar Park, so I'd make sure to bring everything you need before getting there. There is a gas station nearby where you can pick up some things if you need to. For those shooting 200-300 yds, they have a golf cart on site that you can use to drive to your target. Overall, this place is great if you can follow instructions and don't mind the heat in the summer. read more

Eagle Peak Shooting Range - 100yd to 300yd (lane 23) - Gun/Rifle Ranges Near Me - Leander, Texas

Went for the weekend and had a blast! It's an outdoor range with multiple areas to shoot. When walking into the building you are instructed to watch a first timers video. It's about 2 mins tops , you then pay for yourself and whatever targets you pick. It's not expensive at all and you can stay all day for the same flat fee. Would definitely go again. read more

Eagle Peak Shooting Range - Gun/Rifle Ranges Near Me - Leander, Texas

Great range officer on Mondays! Overall facilities is good setup and clean. Many different shooting practice opportunities!

This place is horrible. The old grumpy workers are rude both at the front desk and on the range. They try and compensate with their low IQs with an extra serving of hostility. Overall poorly managed and over priced for the service and quality of range and experience. read more

An outside range should have metal targets or at least allow you to bring them. I can shoot at paper at any range, why would I make the xtra drive all the way out to Jonestown to shoot at paper? Also, Who takes Checks, and Cash only?? I gave it 2 stars because its outside, which is rare. Matt M read more

I haven't been back here since 2010. These codgety, backwoods, inbred, salty cooks deserve a swift foot up their powdered asses. I would not darken their doors ever again, nor would I give them a cent. Owner is like the soup nazi, only nastier. On the range, they called a cease fire. I stepped over the line to get my phone that I accidentally left on the bottom shelf. The range master shot some words at me, and I shot back "A**HOLE..." he was walking away, and paused, didn't turn around, and then continued walking. Pretending not to hear me. It was deeply satisfying. People will not change anything that you accept. read more

Love this place! Outdoors, good selection on distance. 15/20 min between each cease fire. Skeet shooting is a must if you haven't done this. The catch: You will need to buy a one time $20 life time membership. $20 entrance fee each time. read more

Eagle Peak Shooting Range - Gun/Rifle Ranges Near Me - Leander, Texas

A bit of a drive in the country. Full Range and Distance. Lighted, open everyday 365 Days! Has ammo to shoot at the range. Safety is a key focus. Rental guns available. Good way for new or old shooters to get some time on rifles or pistols. personal protection is available for rent or buy. Covered shooting area for those hot days and light rain. Lots of parking. read more

Eagle Peak Shooting Range - Front of store - Gun/Rifle Ranges Near Me - Leander, Texas

I have never been here, and likely never will. Let me explain why. I write this hoping the owners might come to their senses but I doubt it. By way of background I am a retired career LE officer, SWAT trained and firearms instructor. I understand safety. There is a right and wrong way to do it. Screaming, yelling and bullying will ensure that the experience is ruined for the shooter and EVERYONE nearby, without really increasing safety. My impression is the staff is a bunch of grumpy old guys who are kings of their own castle. Secondly the whole "range card" is a bullshit profit add on. Keeps people from coming just once to try it out. $25 for the day is a fair rate. No credit cards is ridiculous in the digital age. Just a way to drive more profit at your own ATM. The last dig is no FMJ ammunition. There is absolutely ZERO safety issues and anyone that says so is full of crap. If their range is so "delicate" it can't absorb FMJ, they need to close down. Just another way to sell overpriced ammo because someone shows up with INDUSTRY STANDARD full metal jacket 5.56 and 7.62. Good luck with your business, your range, your rules. I will go elsewhere. read more

This is now my go to range. My friend and I came out here to shoot and had fell in love with this place. It's your typical out door range setup, with rifle and pistol lanes with wooden backstops that you can thumbtack your targets to. (Tacks provided)They call cease fire every 20 minutes so you can replace your targets. They lay down the range rules, which takes a minute to get down but the staff walks you through it. Such has you can't leave until the range goes hot again. Also it's $20 to shoot all day! We will definitely be back. read more

Clean and friendly. I have shot here several times. The range officers are not out to embarrass but to keep it safe.

First of all, I have never been yelled at here. I meticulously follow the rules but it's distracting to hear these assholes scream at people while you're trying to enjoy a day shooting. Yes don't break the rules and you won't get yelled at. The problem is....people are so scared/nervous of doing something wrong and getting screamed at that I think this actually causes people to make mistakes. You can correct someone without screaming at them....at least once..if they are repeat offenders then fine, scream away...but what they do to people is inexcusable and the reason I switched to shady oaks....where they treat people like..well humans. read more

Best shooting range in the Centex area! The booths are well kept & target backing boards changed frequently. Most importantly to me - Safety is #1 practiced here never seen an "accident". I'll be coming back every weekend! read more

Eagle Peak Shooting Range - 100 yard day. - Gun/Rifle Ranges Near Me - Leander, Texas

Most unfriendly gun range I've ever visited. They make you "join" with a useless range membership for $25 (gets you nothing) and then charge you $25 to shoot each visit. I brought my wife, 18 y/o son and 3 y/o and YES they even want to charge my toddler $25 just to walk through the door. When the total for four people to shoot came to $200 I walked out the door. This place is a complete joke and I will NEVER come back. Save your money and go somewhere else. read more

Eagle Peak Shooting Range - Gun/Rifle Ranges Near Me - Leander, Texas

Admittedly, I never shot here. The reason I never shot here is because your first visit is $50; $25 for a "range card" and $25 to shoot on your first visit. I was standing there mulling it over for a few minutes (wondering if I'd ever come back, if it was convenient enough, if I liked the vibe enough), when my eye fell on no less than two pieces of trump bullshit. Now, I don't expect ranges and gun stores to be very liberal, but I absolutely want them to at least be apolitical. Trump has been the worst president for 2A rights in my lifetime and you gotta be a fucking idiot to have his political bullshit in your gun range imo. Anyway, fuck this place, I don't need to shoot there to know if fucking sucks. All I had to do was look at the pricing and political bullshit. read more

Great local range. $15 to join lifetime $15 daily fee Pistol range - 7yd. 15 Yd. and 25 yd Cease-fire about every 20 minutes... Ample time to swap targets, etc After sundown, it gets a little difficult to see the targets because the lighting is not the best. They are open until 8 PM every night The rifle range is on the other side from the pistol... However I do not know what yard ranges are available read more

Good facilities, but my god the staff are not only rude, but downright belligerent and hostile, especially the man working the front desk. I have never seen someone who is being spoken to with complete politeness become so angry and aggressive at random (mind you, not about actual important things like gun safety, but about random petty things like questions about the range). I witnessed these irrational outbursts directed at myself, as well as other customers around me. One example: When renting a semi-auto shotgun. Me: "Sir would you mind showing me again quickly how this chamber works?" *looks up from his phone, throws the phone across the room* "I wasn't doing anything important anyway!" *begrudgingly shows me* Me trying to be as polite as possible: "Thanks, sorry I've only used over-under shotguns before". "You need to not talk over me or we're going to have a problem!" Apparently trying to have a polite conversation with someone is "talking over them". I witnessed him say this this exact same line to a husband and wife (and their kids) when having a similar interaction. I have no idea why anybody would want to interact with their customers this way, let alone anyone. It's like they are trying to pick fights to fuel some type of power trip. The other staff were definitely not cuddly, but at least they seemed more mentally stable and willing to help to some extent. read more

It was great. The location is convenient for me. The men working the desk were fine. They ask you to watch a little video about the rules. You have to pay for a membership ($20 - good for life) and then a range fee ($20). I don't find the rules to be too-much. It's a way for them to maintain a safe place. About FMJ -- You CAN use FMJ on the handgun range. It's the rifle range that they have that rule about. read more

I recently visited Eagle Peak and would like to warn everyone here about how rude and agressive the staff are. The man at the front desk yelled at and chastised our group after he mixed up our names and we tried to help him get it right. At the range, the officer yelled at least 5 other people over the hour we were there. They justify this under the guise of safety, but all they are doing is putting their customers on edge and asking for situations to escalate. The other issue is that this place is cash only - if you get offended or verbally push back, the odds are that they will kick you out without a refund or the potential to charge back your credit card. I would stay away from this place at all cost. The range itself is serviceable, but the way you feel when you leave ruins the experience. read more

The staff have the old style we won't tolerate BS, which in my opinion is good but for business... tone it down a bit. I get it firearms are no joke but at least let people have fun in a safe environment. These "range officers" are worse than a Military range, I honestly feel more comfortable shooting on a military base then here. For the reason above I will no longer come here. For whatever reason they always put people right next to each other even if half the range is open you'll be between the only 2 people there. Good old fashioned place. read more

Obviously based on the reviews, this is a love it or hate it kind of a place, not too much middle of the road. I have seen people get yelled at for breaking the rules, and it does seem a bit heavy handed, but then again there's no grey area when it comes to firearm safety. So I'll take overdoing it rather than doing nothing. That said, I have broken the rules twice on my many trips there, including one of the biggies, and I was spoken to professionally and courteously. I have never encountered any kind of problem with the front desk staff. I'm usually there during the daytime on a week day, evening and weekend staff may be a whole other group of people. But based on his accent, the weekday guy is from the northeast and they are more direct and to the point in the way they communicate, and that can rub some of us Southerners the wrong way, but it doesn't make him a bad person. As far as the range itself goes, with the closing of Best Of The West it's all we have left in the area, to my knowledge, that is open to the public and offers more than 100y distances. Operationally they do a fine job with a cease-fire about every 20 minutes. The benches are well maintained (they were all replaced a few years ago) and have screens between bays and about 6 sandbags in each. Most the time the target backboards have lots of tacks in them to secure your targets, but take some with you just in case. They recently installed a wall about 10 feet out and above the firing line to stop any bullets from leaving the range, and based on the holes in it some folks can't shoot for crap!! read more

Great outdoor range. All staff has been very pleasant and helpful. I'm new to shooting and feel very safe there b

I have not been here in 2 years, I noticed they raised there price from 15 to 25 , probably from lack of business because of all the old assholes that work there read more

Here is my detailed review of Eagle Peak outdoor range in Leander. In one word, it is awesome! As a first timer, I had to pay a one time $15 initiation fee, watch a brief five-minute video, and then pay another $15 for the entire day. That's right it cost me $30 to shoot all day. It cost my nephew only 15 since he had been there before. They have a wide variety of shooting areas, 7 to 25 yard pistol range, Rifle ranges from 50 yards all the way up to 300 yards, and tactical shotgun area where are you can shoot the hell out of cardboard boxes etc. as well as a skeet range. And all the staff were older retired gentlemen, very chilled and relaxed as long as you follow the rules. They are extremely adamant (and rightfully so) about staying behind the yellow line during the cease-fire for any reason. I broke it once to grab my bottled water, and the RO reminded me of the rules in a very appropriate manner. For a while today, we only guys out there. I don't really like the no rifle full metal jacket rule, but the guy said their insurance company made them do it. Pistol FMJ is fine and they will check your ammo if you bring an AR. We shot from about 1000 to 1430 hrs-- handguns, Long guns, and shotguns all for a combined price of $45 which included my $15 one time training fee read more

I really like this place. Many lines different ranges and friendly staff. The only disappointing thing is FMJ is prohibited due to safety reason read more

Nice range. Staff was very professional and helpful. Great focus on safety. We'll be back! read more

Loved this place, great atmosphere and everyone is so friendly. Met some really nice folks out there really enjoying their toys.

Great place, knowledgeable staff, adhering to the rules will make you have a great experience, don't be safe, you will be schooled on how to be. I've been there many times and have never seen the staff be out of line. Don't obey the rules or practice gun safety you will be reprimanded, so take it and learn. read more

No standing while firing, no FMJ rounds. Too bad, hard to find an outdoor 300 yrd range

No FMJ allowed for imaginary "safety reasons" which would force you to purchase unnecessarily expensive ammunition.

I've been a member for about 15 years. If you don't follow the rules expect to get a stern reminder from the staff or patrons. It's not rocket science. Stand behind the yellow line during cease fire. I'm quite sure the negative reviews are from folks who can't seem to remember this. It's a well run range with friendly staff. If they yell, it's because you're doing something dangerous and because they want you to hear them while you are wearing ear protection. Make sense now? read more

No FMJ, 1 second between shots. That pretty much kills it for any decent practice with a pistol or semi auto rifle. The only thing this range might be useful for is the 300 yard precision rifle practice, but its only 300 yards. read more

This is the worst gun range I've ever been to. The staff is very rude, the range is just okay, and the rules make no sense. I ripped up my membership and will NEVER go again, ever. read more

Eagle Peak is a popular range west of Austn. It's not without its sharp edges, however. The other reviews do a good job covering the cranky staff, etc. At $10 per day, it's not the cheapest range in Central Texas. It's definitely cheaper than the indoor ranges, but there is another public range listed on Yelp that offers a $65 annual membership for unlimited shooting. The pistol and rifle ranges at Eagle Peak are well outfitted with shelving space to stash your equipment and partitions to keep flying brass from hitting your neighbor. The drawback on the pistol range is that the targets are fixed for each station, and frequently the 20-foot target stations are all filled up, so you end up having to wait a long time for people to finish and get a station. Either that or waste your ammo on the long-distant pistol targets. Eagle Peak does not allow holster quick-draws, so CHL holders will want to look elsewhere for this type of practice. Clays are popular at Eagle Peak. The throwers work ok, but there is a non-functioning electric trap thrower I wish they would get fixed. read more

First let me preface this is a shooting range and safety is their UTMOST concern. If you don't want to follow the rules, then don't come here. There are safety rules for a reason. These are not toys. Every time I have been here the staff has been SUPER helpful and extremely nice. I feel completely comfortable coming here and know that I am safe. The entire facility is clean and organized. Definitely recommend this place if you're looking for a secure environment to teach a new shooter, or even if you're a seasoned shooter. If you're looking for a full auto rapid fire high paced range, this is probably not for you. This is has a great outdoor long range as well as a pistol range, in a safe and very clean environment. Thank you to the staff for the respect shown towards myself as well as my husband! Y'all are fantastic, keep it up! read more

I was hesitant to go here after reading some of the reviews from others, especially as a new shooter. I've been to indoor shooting ranges and "guntry clubs" like Saddle River Range in Houston. Let's be clear, this is not that. This is an outdoor shooting range in the country that is catering to a different kind of client. With that being said, I had a a great time. The staff was friendly and joking with the regulars and seemed eager to help or point our technique. I didn't witness any intimidation or yelling from the range officer and the cease fires were conducted in a safe manner. I'd give this place 4/5 stars because I think the range itself is a little worn down but serves it purpose. Overall I would recommend this spot to anyone looking for an outdoor range, even new shooters. As long as you're safe and follow the clearly given instructions I don't see a reason you can't frequent this place for shooting. read more

Eagle Peak Shooting Range - Gun/Rifle Ranges Near Me - Leander, Texas

This is a great outdoor shooting range. I'm not sure what it's like on a busy day but when it's not it's very easy to access all the target distances for both rifle and pistol. This was my first visit so I didn't make it to the trap range for shotgun but I definitely will on my next. That being said, "the box", which is a semi closed off area to try out different patterns and shots for your shotgun on empty cardboard boxes is fantastic. I was the only one over there so I'm not sure what they do if they have a bunch of people that want to use "the box" but now that Best of the West is closed down, we need somewhere to check our shotgun shot outside of 7 1/2 and 8. And this was it. It's never a bad idea to familiarize yourself with what your 00 buck or slug pattern looks like before you take it hunting. A quick note on the comments I've seen about "rudeness" from the staff. While I obviously wasn't there for the experiences people are describing, I'm just going to say, on my first visit I made a mistake. During cease fire, when the RO came by and checks all your weapons, I didn't have my pistols pointed downrange, they were pointed to the side because no one was there. He called me out. No courtesy about it. Direct and abruptly. Could I have said, well sir, I'm at the end and no one is in that direction so what's the big deal? No. You stfu, admit you made a mistake, and say, yes sir I understand, it won't happen again. Was I endangering anyone's life? No. But it's bad form and he was right to call me out. These are firearms, not toys. Treat them as such. And if you make a mistake, acknowledge it and be grateful it didn't cost someone their life or a trip to the ER. Afterward the RO came over to talk to me and we had a great conversation and he was as pleasant as could be. My only "complaint" about the place, if you want to call it a complaint, is just that I wish it was a bit bigger and that "the box" area was a feature that they had several of. Basically like the tactical bays they had at Best of the West. Outside of that, this is a great place. read more

First let's be clear: Screaming, belittling does not equal safety, even if you are screaming the rules. Yes the rules need to be enforced but lots of gun ranges don't scream at people and they don't have accidents. I have never been screamed at but I have been with people who have and the "You are such an idiot" manner in which the rules are communicated takes away from what should be a great place to shoot. If you want to know what the Range Officers are like, think the Soup Nazi from Seinfeld. (But their is same or better soup at other places) If you are looking to teach someone how to shoot, or just have a good time, this Is not the place. Other places are a bit more expensive but they are much more enjoyable. And isn't that the reason most of us go to a gun range? read more

Very professional, friendly and safe. Well maintained. I highly recommend this range. And Grumpy is gone. Bill Ramsdell read more
