lone star gun range

We headed out to this range to do a bit of shooting on a Monday since our preferred range is closed then and it was the only day we had to go. Depending on how often/where you shoot you will probably find things you like and things you don't like at this range.Pros: several bays available for different types of shooting. 100y rifle, a couple of pistol/carbine ranges and a shotgun range. They have restrooms, targets, rental firearms, ear protection etc available at the little shop. There is shade on the firing line.Negatives: There was almost no oversight at the range, it's basically up to you to police other shooters if they are acting in an unsafe manner. Personally, I don't like being expected to confront some bozo who happens to be holding a loaded weapon about his bozo-ish behavior. Call me crazy. During the 3 hours we were shooting an employee made ONE walk up and down the rifle range, then disappeared back into the shop. For some, this could be considered a positive, as you don't have to feel like you are being watched like a hawk at all times by a range officer. I didn't mind when there were only a few experienced shooters there but as the range filled up there were a couple of people who were clearly novices and failed to adhere to basic gun safety rules. I didn't feel safe near them.The ranges are all dirt with some rock so if there has been a decent rain and you have to walk downrange to check targets, you will get all caked up with mud. Not an issue most of the time in Texas, but worth noting.

Went to the Lone Star gun range while on vacation from New Jersey.My sons and I never shot a gun in our lives but wanted to try something different.The staff here was great,they took the time to explain how to load,hold and fire the gun.We started off with a 9MM Glock. then moved on to an M4 style rifle we really had a lot of fun.SAFETY was always number one.We ended up going to Black's BBQ after we were done shooting.

Great place to tune up your shooting skills. The range manager has each customer read their range practices and repeat one of them out loud. Targets are available at a fair price. Hearing protection is provided free if you do not bring your own. We have not taken advantage of their rental firearms and their ammunition. There is a choice of ranges for pistol, rifle and shotgun. The other shooters observed excellent safety practices while we were there. The target distances on the pistol range conform to those used for the Texas CHL test. Shooting locations are sheltered from rain and have dividers and small countertops. There is a bathroom facility. There is also a target shed where you can get your wood frame target mount.Large earthwork backstop. We like the rural location. We like the courtesy. And, we like the shooting.

Wife and I stopped at the Lone Star Gun Range while on vacation. Wanted to give my wife the opportunity to shoot for the first time. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable, taking the time to make our visit better and more enjoyable. If this sounds like something you would like to try, or enjoy doing, I would strongly recommend making the stop

You get to shoot pretty much anything you want here, and it's very open and relaxed, I have shot pistols before but I finally got to try a rifle and a shotgun, it was AWESOME, I had to leave because our bill was adding up very fast, but it was well worth it.

went there with my brother after a weekend in austin shot on a sun and monday ,5 dollars rent hand gun 10 for a rifle plus ammo and range fee, great selection of guns friendly staff nice outdoor range obviously will be quieter during the week than weekends even got to shoot a locals 460 s&w which was way cool think the fact that we were shooting a 500 desert eagle got his attention! recommended.

Ever shot a gun before? I sure as hell hadn't until yesterday. Due to the fact that I'd been in Austin for over three weeks and had only tried three of the four things that I classify as Austin-esque (if that's even a word) we were on a mission. We had already experienced the famous Texas barbecue, loitering around food trucks and lounging at local watering holes. It was time to try our hand at shooting. Like in the olden Western times, right?Since we were in Austin, Lockhart was a great choice distance wise. After a quick 40 minute car ride we arrived at the Lone Star Gun Range. As we made our way down the gravel road leading up to the range we were quickly informed that in fact, we had reached our destination via the symphony of gun shots that hung in the air. This was going to be good.After parking the car and gawking at the folks firing AK-47s and all kinds of weaponry I could and still cannot identify we headed over the office. While there we read the instructions of the range, said a one sentence oath about not firing during a ceasefire and then we were off to orientation. Orientation consisted of a 10 minute speech from a very knowledgable man who actually explained things very well. After picking out our weapon of choice - a Glock - we gave it a go by practicing loading the gun a few times with some fake bullets and that was it. it was time to shoot.Ah, I almost forgot. How much does this day of revelry cost you ask? I'm glad you mentioned that. It wasn't the cheapest excursion but it didn't break the bank either. Below is a cost breakdown for two people shooting but sharing one gun (which seemed to be the norm on the range). We spent a total of $66 and spent a couple of hours at the range.- Day Pass - $15 per day per person.- Gun Rental - $10 for one gun. Also worth mentioning, the second gun would have been $5.- Target - $1 for a single target.- Box of Ammo - Our box of 9mm ammo cost $23.31.Always felt safe at this gun range and everything was explained so well to us even through we were newbies. So the moral of the story ... if you're ever in Lockhart, Texas and want to fire some guns ... Lone Star Shooting Range is the place to be!Check out my full review here for more details and some pictures: http://goodbadandmuddy.com/places/united-states/austin/lone-star-gun-range-review/

As Brits, this was the first time we'd had the chance to even touch a gun, never mind keep one under the pillow...When we arrived the owner (who'd been there for 30 odd years) was very keen to help us get relaxed and help us ready to go. <Magnum 45s, Glock 9mm, AK47s, pump action shotguns and several other interesting pieces of kit were liberally offered - it was rude to decline such an invitation...We felt safe and well looked after. The owner was a fascinating chap - full of stories and adventure :-)

We've been using Lone Start Gun Range since July 2013.I got the annual membership since we spend a lot of trigger time at the range. Two pistol, one rifle shotgun and skeet.it's a little out of town but worth the drive. We usually spend most of the day at the range when we go. Cheap gun rental. They have almost all the popular handguns and rifles for rent.Ammo sales.Soda sales.

Visited in October with my Dad, spent an enjoyable 3 hours firing an AR-15 and a pistol, had a good chat with a couple of locals. Reasonably priced think cost around $230 for ammo and gun hire. Painless filling out of paperwork and only needed ID to rent guns.Highly recommend we didn't want to go to an indoor range and this place is very good.Recommend it to get your eye in ready for the Zombie apocolypse.Will definetly take my boy when he's a bit older on another trip to Texas.Great selection of guns available will save up a bit more money next time and have a go of a Barrett !

This is an excellent location to practice target shooting - both rifle and pistol. Very convenient to Lockhart. Best value is to become a member and pay dues for a year. This enables you to use the facilities year-round for no additional cost. Just present your car and head for the range. No time spent signing release forms every time you visit. Targets $1.00 each.

I'm a great believer 'when in Rome......' So while in Texas off we went to the shooting range!!We were greeted by 2 professionals who took us through all the paperwork, ID and checks. Then we were shown hands on all the safety checks with a gun.Then off to the shooting range with our targets. It was an absolutely invigorating adrenaline rush. I have never experienced anything like it before; as the afternoon went on we got better with our aim! I really enjoyed the experience, and felt safe with the knowledge of the professionals at Lone Star Gun Range.

I took my son for his first time shooting. The price was reasonable and the people were great and helpful

Stand de tir ouvert à tous, en particulier aux mineurs... sous la surveillance d'un adulte bien sûr. De très nombreuses armes en location, fusils, pistolets etc...
