I've been there a few times and always enjoyed it. RO is easy to get along with. Sorry, they say no class III or FMJ on the rifle range.

I've been considering switching to that range. Would you care if I tagged along sometime to see the facility?

That would be fine. I have several buddies that are members also. We could take a few.

Also, Eagle apparently had a pretty decent fire yesterday. Apparently, someone was shooting tracers and the backstop caught fire.

That's pretty wild considering I was there until 7:30 and everything was going smoothly. Everyone has to read their range rules card and should be using common sense. Fortunately, it was a very minor situation with no damage.

Here's the statement from their Facebook page. Now they'll be inspecting ammo.

NEWS UPDATE........

If you drove by the range around 7:45 pm and saw all the firetrucks and police cars, here's the scoop.

Several customers were shooting on the range when two of our RSO's spotted a glowing ember in the rubber berm. They immediately called "Cease Fire", ran down the lane with a bucket of water and threw it on the embers. Did I mention what wonderful and dedicated employees we have here?

One of the customers had brought in tracer rounds (unknowingly) and was firing them. The front desk had checked the rounds (as they do with all the shooters using that type ammo) and did not detect it. The tips were pale in color and had to be held up to the light to see the slight difference to determine they were, indeed, tracers.

We immediately evacuated the range of all shooters and allowed the Fire Dept. to do their job. Kudos to both the Lewisville Fire and Police Depts. They were here within just a few minutes.

If you were in the range when this transpired, thank you for your cooperation. We hope you will accept our apology for the inconvenience and come back to shoot with us again.

We are thankful everyone is safe and able to go home to their families tonight.

The range will resume regular business hours tomorrow opening at 10 am.

no kidding? i took my renewal there and it was a first class joint!

god bless.

Is there some fucking jackass just going around to all the gun ranges shooting tracers and burning them down?

Bunch of idiots that don't know any better, don't care, or are just malicious...

This was posted on "DFW Scanner" yesterday:
Structure Fire (Lewisviille) 400 Block of Valley Ridge Blvd - LFD units responding for a fire at Eagle Gun Range. A tracer round was shot into the backstop at the gun range and caught fire. E162 responding to the rear of the building to check behind the backstop and stand by with a hoseline. 2nd Engine taking the hydrant in front. Truck 167 going in the front to assist with checking for fire extension.

The original poster (Osiris, a.k.a. Luis) is deceased. And I know if I was a mod, I would be able to bring myself to edit any of his posts.
