I'm thinking about going to Galand Public Shooting Range tomorrow morning. With the nice weather on a Saturday morning, will it be crowded? I've never been to this range before. What can I expect in terms of available pistol lanes? 50 yard rifle ranges?

If you go then go before noon. The weather is supposed to turn kinda nasty after that.

Its big enough that you shouldnt feel to crushed.
are you shooting Rifle or Pistol?
Just follow their rules, DONT GO TO THE BENCH DURING A CEASE FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And you should be golden.
On Busy days they will have a cease fire every 30 minutes or so.
Bring Cash! Stop at the CVS on the way over there and buy some gum or water if you need cash

Went there today to help a buddy zero his new AR and just to check mine and re-zero if necessary (was necessary). I agree with the previous posts, get there early, it's a big range but you should be fine if you get there early. Also, when you put up a target if you have a happy trigger finger, take two with you when the line goes cold. Or more, I would put two or three targets up depending on what you're out to accomplish. You have to watch a six minute safety video if it's your first time, was mine today, not too bad. Nice place, nice people. I'll go back.

Fun Fact the Owner has been shot at that Range. Some fool threw a pistol down on the counter and he took one in the gut.

I'm sorry -- that is NOT a FUN fact at all!! Ouch!

With good weather, that range is crowded. Sometimes, you may even wait for line to get empty. Also, to post your targets you may have to wait like 30 minutes for the next cease fire. Listen carefully to the Range officers and their instructions and you should be okay.

I've been out of town and not keeping up with the weather. I had no idea it was going to be this nasty today. With the nice weather yesterday, I assumed it would be nice today. Being a native Texan, I should know better.

It sounds like this is a nice range and will be easy to get to since I live near the GB Tollroad.

I like the idea that is has a 50yd rifle range. I also like that the hand throwers (shotgun target clays) are included in the $10 range fee and we can bring our own Walmart clays. I usually shoot at Elm Fork. They don't have a 50yd rifle range and their practice clay range is the same price as the skeet field ($8.50/25 clays). Elm Fork is very nice, but it gets expensive when taking the family. Elm Fork pistol range is $15. Rifle range is $25. Pistol steel targets are $20 for 30 minutes.

I live about a mile from the range, I can tell you how busy it is anytime just email me Saturdays and Sundays if its not raining it going to be busy. I normally go during the week since I work a compressed shift and if they are not busy and if you want a cease fire just let them know.

I like the range, I teach out of there. Like everyone said , if the weather is good on weekends it`s very busy most times. During week not so much , maybe in the evening sometimes they get alittle busy but most times you can get in and relieve some stress.. lol

AND PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM YOUR TABLE DURING CEASE FIRE, IF YOU DON`T YOU WILL GET TOLD TO GET AWAY FROM IT SOMETIMES NOT SO NICELY.... FYI
