The Range in McKinney

Thom Beyer fell in love with shooting at age 8 on his family's property in Texas. After decades teaching friends proper firearm handling and safety, he and wife Julie envisioned something different: a range where everyone—men, women, families, beginners, and experienced shooters—could feel at home.

In 2014, Thom visited ranges across DFW and found the same problems everywhere: poor customer service, no air filtration, inadequate climate control, and marketing that ignored most of the shooting community. He traveled the country studying other ranges, then built The Range in McKinney from scratch to fix those problems.

The Facility - 100% fresh, never-recirculated air in all shooting lanes - State-of-the-art climate control (not a surprise amenity—a baseline) - Well-lit lanes designed for pistols and rifles - Certified range officers on duty for supervision and coaching - Family-friendly environment, not a boys' club

"After 7 or 8 times here, I can't recommend enough. The staff is so nice. Hands down best indoor range in DFW." - Hunter B.

The Video Simulator (Unique in Texas)

The Range operates the only 5-screen, 300° immersive video simulator in Texas and surrounding states. This isn't arcade fun—it's professional-level training:

• •Military, law enforcement, and marksmanship-based scenarios
• •Real-life decision-making: threat assessment, de-escalation, use of force judgment
• •Scenarios include home defense, active shooter response, traffic stops, workplace disputes, competition shooting
• •Up to 5 people train simultaneously; groups larger than 5 available for events
• •Corporate team building, private parties, and professional instruction available

"I have to say this simulator is far and away the best I've ever experienced." - Richard D.
