Title: DFW area Airgunners?
Post by: JHud on November 18, 2013, 11:27:56 PM
Looking for others in the Dallas/Ft Worth area to start a club. Find a reliable place to plink, compete, hang, etc..

Any members in the DFW area?

I'm in the area. Only place I have to shoot is my local gun club. There are some guys at the Haltom City gun club that shoot NRA air rifle matches too.  There is a group called the north Texas air gun militia, but they haven't been very active lately.

Well howdy neighbor. I started an area-centric Facebook page. Hoping to get a group of like-minded folks together for some shooting, events, comps, etc

Ideally, it would be cool to find someone with a warehouse or something where we could get together and plink.

I'm not too far from DFW, but my problem is that I work weekends, so if you get something together on a weeknight, I would be interested.

Hey guys let me know when you get something together. I am in Baton Rouge area and am trying to put together a group just like what you are doing. May be we can get a couple times a year between our two states for fun and to learn more about the other side of the sport the competitive side. Just for fun and bragging rights. Kevin in LA.

There is a small group of us connected on Facebook. Mostly DFW area guys. 20 or so. If you're on Facebook, look for DFW Airgun Club.

I'm in Frisco as well. I wonder if we could meet up at the new gun club on Eldorado.

There are three of us, and sometimes 5, who drive 220 miles one way every month to Somerville to shoot Field Target at the Yegua Airgun Club.  VERY interested in forming a DFW Club that is closer.  So, we have the bodies, and access to some targets.  We just need a venue, a place to shoot.

I'm outside of Greenville (East of the Dallas/Frisco area about an hour), Wolfe City postal zone but an unincorperated community. My property is five acres and my neighbor allows me shooting privelages on his ten acres next to the land I'm on. So... fifteen acres total.
I wouldn't mind having an occasional meetup out here, just keep in mind it IS private property, not a public place, so PLEASE be respectful of the neighbors!

I'm in Waco about 100 miles south of DFW and would love to meet some fellow air gunners.

Check out DFW Airgun Club on Facebook and join if you aren't a member already.

Any of you guys going to the Airgun Show in Ft. Worth on 9/6?

You guys ever get any further with this?  I live in Irving just outside Dallas and I'm looking for people to shoot with.

Hey DFW airgunners. I'm developing a business plan for a new state of the art air gun only indoor range in the North Dallas/Plano area! The facility will have 30 shooting lanes with Suis Electronic targets providing instant feedback to the shooter. We will host Olympic 10 meter air rifle and air pistol competitions, Three position air rifle competitions and benchrest air rifle competitions. We will have local league competitions in beginner, sporter and precision levels for men, women, juniors an seniors. We will also host local, regional, state, national and international competitions. If you are interested in becoming a part of this exciting new venture, let me know and I will be glad to discuss what I'm doing with you.

Anything happen with this business plan? Moved to the area a few months back and have been able to connect with a few guys from the area who have been great but would like to connect with more and find a few more places to shoot.

I'm looking for fellow airgunners in the dfw area. If you are there let me know.

Hello Shawn!
There is a monthly match down in Granbury that you may be interested in. It's around 40 miles from Fort Worth...really nice group!
I will get a contact nane for it tomorrow when at my home computer.
I think there is also a DFW group that gets together in the Aledo area, but I am not positive on that.
I work weekends, so am not normally able to go.

There must be a lot of airgunners here. There are almost 8 million people in the DFW area.
It's the fourth largest metropolitan area in the U.S. The average income compared to living expenses is good, and this hobby is not forbidden.
The Arlington Sportsmen's club has an active airgun group, it's nice but it's expensive to join. It is on the southwest side of the Metroplex.

The Garland public shooting range is on the east north east side, but I've never been there.
I think it's $20 to join and $20 per day.

Granbury is farther south and west.

I'm sure that there are more.

Hey Cloud9, is there any information on ag group?

Hunter

The Field Target matches in arlington are the 4th saturday of every month.  You do not need to be a member to shoot.  The second saturday matches switch between the Pecan Plantation and Dallas Field target Club every month.  This saturday (23rd) we are shooting in Arlington.  December 14th we will be shooting in Dallas if the weather is good.

As Cliff said, there are 3 Field Target airgun clubs in the DFW metro area, with a total of 2 matches per month shooting this game.  There is an air rifle bench rest match monthly at Arlington Sportsmans Club (https://www.arlingtonsportsman.com/ (https://www.arlingtonsportsman.com/)) that you can see in the calendar.  You don't have to be a member to shoot the matches; the fee is $10.  To join ASC, the first year is $400 and then $75 thereafter annually.  The match fees are $5 for club members.  There is a 10M air rifle and pistol match monthly at the Haltom City Rifle & Pistol Club, but I don't know any other information.


The only other regular airgun activity that I know of in DFW is the yearly Texas Airgun Show that will occur again in June 2020.

It's an old thread, but being that it's regional I don't see a reason to start a new one. Just wanted to say hey to anyone else who sees this that yes there are still airgunners in the DFW area.

Sadly, the Field Target match has been cancelled for July 25 2020.

There are 2 Field Target matches in DFW each month.  This month, the first one is on Saturday November 14 at 930am at Pecan Plantation near Granbury TX, and the second is on Saturday November 21 @ 10am at Arlington Sportsman’s Club in Mansfield TX.  David Carlile runs the Pecan Plantation match and can be contacted at [email protected] to let him know you’re coming.  I run the ASC match and you can reach me at [email protected]


All are welcome.
