Really? On grand opening weekend?! I bet the owners are just thrilled. I guess you get enough untrained idiots in one place it's bound to happen. This is why I do not go to our local range if it's busy. Too many people going through, greater risk of accidents, and less time for RO to help/watch out. Crazy.

Was apparently an employee was cleaning a gun for a person on the range and shot themselves in the hand. :banghead:

I think I'll stick to shooting on private land.

And I didn't think it could get worse. Wow, I really have no other word for it.

A later article stated he was 'clearing' a gun jam for a shooter and his hand was grazed with the gun 'accidentally' went off. I wonder if they have NRA certified RSO's? I will bet many of the employees have no formal training. :banghead:

I just came back from Frisco gun club. You would be excited to know that shooting lanes are separated by ballistic-armored glass. I could not believe it the the one shooter to my left was sweeping me with his muzzle. Ah, and that Asian guy with his AR-15 was sliding-fire (using the sliding fire stock) his 9mm upper as if the Ammo is free. Just pure waste of Ammo.

It was fun on the pistol range to coach a new shooter shooting my PX4 Full size in 9mm. I did not have chance to shoot rifle at the 100 yrds. Only 2-lanes are operating and still there is no cameras to check your target impact. Those 2 issues should be resolved soon.

The store was crowded as if it is a gun-show. Also, the 10% off almost all firearms and 25% off all accessories is just bonanza draw to the new store. HK firearms stands are awesome.

Tons of fun.

This is not a good start for the club. It's hard enough for a shooting range or club to get affordable insurance without any incidents like this.

How would a trained RSO "accidentally" get their hand in front of a gun they were clearing? ESPECIALLY ON OPENING DAY!!! I don't think I'll be going there any time soon.

I was just reading the gun range thread on this club and he said he did the second level membership. That VIP membership is 7500 dollars initiation dues and 240 dollars a month! :shock: that is some serious exclusivity right there. I would rather put that kind of money into some land I can shoot on.

I think I am going to do the one Beiruty did. It's 450 a year, now that they are open and 410 to renew per year. No range fees. I would get my money's worth. I currently pay around 100 a year at bullet trap and then have to spend about 250 a year on a "shooter card" to cover my range usage. Bullet trap is a real dive compared to the Frisco Range. Same owners by the way. :shock:

If you don't mind employees that tend to shoot themselves... That makes me REAL nervous. Especially on opening weekend.
