What to expect

First time to a gun range?

We love first-timers, and we want to make this the most comfortable, enjoyable, and educational gun range experience for you. Here are some of the things that you can expect your first time visiting the range.

Welcome!

When you arrive, find one of our team members at The Range counter and tell them you are visiting for the first time. If you like, you can even ask for a quick tour. Don’t be shy, we’re here to help!

At this time, we’ll ask you to fill out a range waiver. You can save time at check-in by filling one of these out online. Be sure to spend a few moments looking over our Range Rules. Here, you’ll find important etiquette and safety expectations like wearing closed-toed shoes and what “safe direction” means. Don’t worry, we’ll explain all this to you as well :)

Take Your First Shots

Our First Shots class is geared to safely and enjoyably introduce you to the fun of shooting. We’ll provide everything you need: a firearm, ten rounds of ammo, safety gear, and a 15-minute course in the classroom and on the range.

This $25 safety course is required for all first-time shooters. After your first shots, you will be given a survey to fill out to receive a $25 rebate to use the next time you visit Texas Gun Club!

Next Steps

Now that you’ve familiarized yourself with how to safely handle a firearm on the range, you can visit the range on your own or take a firearms course! Talk with your First Shots instructor on what classes are best for your firearms training journey. We highly recommend Handgun 101 as your next step.

We hope you have an enjoyable and memorable first-time experience at Texas Gun Club. If you still find you have questions, be sure to check out our FAQ page. #seeyouontherange
