DFW Gun Range and Academy










Q: Am a tourist. Can I rent a gun with my friends an shoot for fun? And if so how much? (If it halps IΓÇÖve been in the army and IΓÇÖm very familiar with weapons) p.s IΓÇÖm not a US citizen.
A: In compliance with US Federal Law, International tourists visiting the US under the Visa Waiver Program may legally purchase ammunition, rent firearms or shoot at DFW Gun Range and Training Center. Permitted tourist must be from one of the following countries: Andorra, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Chile, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Korea, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Monaco, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, San Marino, Singapore, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, United Kingdom, Canada*, Mexico*.

Q: Do you do a background check on the individual that want to come there and shoot for fun? Do you run checks on the gun the individual bring to shoot?
A: Or perhaps it is an innocent question from someone who has an interest in learning more about firearms but is not yet versed in the laws relating to the everyday excerise of their 2nd amendment rights. Similar questions come up all the time... can you own a machine gun, how big of a gun can you buy, how do you buy a gun... not all are from criminals, almost all are from our friends who are genuinely interested and don't know the answer yet. Let's do all we can to educate and encourage more questions like these!

A: Do you realize how you sound asking that? I know this is old and there are exceptions to everything, but this screams, "I'm a felon in possession of an illegal and/or stolen firearm." I'd be more careful what you post on the internet. Never know what might be used against you later on.

Q: (Translated by Google) What do I need to go shooting and what do I need to get my license to carry weapons because I am interested in getting my license? (Original) Que necesito para ir a tirar y que necesito para sacar la licencia para portar armas porque estoy interesado en sacar mi licencia
A: (Translated by Google) Hello, to go shooting you need an ID. Preferably a Texas license if you have one. Especially to rent weapons. To obtain the license you need to complete 6 hours of course, submit the application, pass a background check, and pass the exam that includes a 50-shot test. (Warning!: To purchase/carry a firearm, one must be a US citizen or at least a permanent resident. You do not need to be either to be able to shoot with rented weapons) (Original) Hola, para ir a tirar necesita una identificación. De preferencia licencia de Texas si es que tiene. Sobretodo para rentar la armas. Para sacar la licencia necesita cumplir 6 horas de curso, someter la aplicación, pasar un background check, y pasar el examen que incluye prueba con 50 tiros. (Advertencia!: Para comprar/portar arma de fuego, uno debe ser ciudadano americano o mínimo residente permanente. No necesita ser ninguno para poder tirar con armas rentadas)

Q: What is your policy on bump-stocks? Can we use them on your range?
A: Aren't those illegal?
- Alexis Avila (5 years ago)
A: Let me be very clear & as specific as i can be. as long as the result of the purpose of the bump stock does not exceed what a range would consider rapid fire. Then i, with no garrentee, can not see why a bump stock would be not allowed. Just remember alot ranges that are in a large city area in inside facilities do not allow rapid fire...even alot outdoor ones don't alow it...most do not allow you squeeze the trigger more than once every 2 to 3 seconds..atleast as i have seen..but as a side note I've been busy & have not been to a range in the last year or two. And as long as the firearm/ projectile propelling mechanism does not vioalte any state or federal laws..ha..in short chances are it would be allowed but you would never get chnace to put it to use before you were to break the no rapide fire rule....p.s. There are some ranges that allow full autos and rapid fire..but your goin to head towards the coutry a little more to do that....this is add on no bump stocks are not illegal.

A: (Translated by Google) If you need your license, I don't know what classes I don't work there. (Original) Si necesita su licencia, no se de la clases no trabajo ahi.

I had an awesome time at this gun range! The shooting experience itself was top-notchΓÇögreat setup, well-maintained lanes, and a smooth flow that made it easy to focus and enjoy. What really stood out, though, was the training. It was fantastic, hands down. The instructors were super friendly, patient, and knew their stuff, breaking everything down in a way that clicked whether youΓÇÖre a beginner or seasoned shooter. The instructor challenge was the cherry on topΓÇötough but totally worth it. It pushed my skills and left me feeling accomplished. If youΓÇÖre looking for a spot that nails both the shooting and the learning vibe, this place is it! Let me know if you'd like me to tweak anything!
