That's real shame. I've never shot there, but that's a shame. I wonder if they know who fired off the tracer round.

The roof over the pistol range and a wall collapsed back in 2006. The incident closed the facility for quite a while.Dragonfighter wrote:Just did a records check back through January 2010 and got no hits on it.KRM45 wrote:Didn't this same place burn a few years back?

Ah, that would be why I couldn't find it. I only searched back to 2010 and NFIRS digital is kinda sketchy prior to 2008.Excaliber wrote:The roof over the pistol range and a wall collapsed back in 2006.

I'm pretty sure they've been there longer than 2006. They were there when I was going to UTSWMC back in the 90's.

I wasn't clear, as I'm on my droid... It was right around when the ownership changed. That's when I found out about the range.C-dub wrote:I'm pretty sure they've been there longer than 2006. They were there when I was going to UTSWMC back in the 90's.

Now I'm curious if it was the same section. Was the original collapse storm/spontaneous? I'll look at the TIS and see if there's anything.

The original collapse was during a storm.

Okay, here it is from their website:
Built from a solid foundation, the company was started In September 1995, when a local businessman and two Dallas police officers incorporated the present business known as the DFW Gun Club.
