I've not been there, and I've only checked out their site so far, but it looks like a fantastic place! Photos show a clean, new outdoor range with a nice indoor classroom facility.
From what I've seen so far from behind my keyboard, I'll likely check them out, and I hope the best for them in this endeavor. We need good places like this in our 2A community.
From their site (https://pmgrtx.com/):
It seems they're sole-focused on training for now, and their range is not open for public shooting as of yet. From their FAQ:PeaceMakers Gun Range was designed and built from start to finish by two friends, Kent Gilbert and Buck Farmer, both retired Houston Police Officers. They became friends while working together on the Department and decided to take a leap of faith and build something that was a long-time dream for both of them. This turned into a four year project, something that both of them laugh about to this day.
Money was tight, so they did all the work themselves. They started with an old dump truck, excavator and bulldozer to clear the land and build the shooting berms with clay dug from a site on one corner of the property. Over a thousand dump truck loads later the berms were finished. Then came endless hours of tying rebar, pouring concrete, laying block, hauling gravel, welding, cutting and drilling steel, designing and building a roof from scratch, and numerous other tasks. When they finally finished, they were very proud of their little gun range. They hope that you like it too.
The goal of Kent and Buck has always been to provide a safe and clean facility where people can come and actually train, not just stand in one place and make holes in paper. Shooting on the move, engaging multiple targets, shooting from cover and around obstacles, all of this and more will be available, things that are not available at other ranges.
Group classes will consist of four to five hours of training: Basic, Intermediate and Advanced in both pistols and carbines. Shooters don’t need to bring any equipment; the range will supply pistols, belts, holsters and mag pouches for the pistol classes, and AR-15’s for the carbine classes. If you want to bring your own eye and ear protection, that will be fine. Advanced shooters will probably want to bring their own weapons and rigs, and that is fine too. Private one-on-one training is also available, and instructors will make every effort to work with your schedule.
Is the range open to walk-ins?
Right now we are concentrating on training classes. We encourage you to sign up for one online or by calling us. Classes are fun, reasonably priced, and you will learn a lot. Later we may be open to walk-ins.
