Re: Top Gun Shooting Club 500 yd range opened north of McKinney

Never mind, I'm thinking of Red Zone Ranch - which was in the Melissa? Area. They returned my money in May of 2013. I apologize for the confusion.

Based on the posts in this thread, these events must have been about 6 years ago. They were only operational for a few months, and I only got to shoot there ONCE! :grumble :cryin
There are a few other threads where this range is mentioned. I just thought it somewhat appropriate to resurrect this one because it talks about it being opened and I thought I'd let everyone know about it being closed. It was open for several years. I shot there last year, apparently only weeks before it was closed.
If thats true, then the original owners must have sold it and the new owners reopened it. At least I know the original owners were interested in selling. Sure wish I'd known...
