Fossil Pointe, just north of DFW, offers public access to steel targets from 250 to 800 yards, ideal for hunters, new long-range shooters, and serious marksmen alike.


Located in the wide-open spaces of North Texas near the Dallas-Fort Worth area, Fossil Pointe Sporting Grounds provides a public-access long-range rifle range that balances accessibility with professional oversight.
The range features steel targets from 250 to 800 yards, laid out across gently rolling terrain. Shooters must contend with open sightlines, shifting winds, and varied sun exposure—an ideal setup for building real-world shooting skill.
Before accessing the long-range area, new shooters must pass an on-site qualification test conducted by trained staff.
A fully stocked Pro Shop is available on-site for gear, optics, and essentials.
Fossil Pointe provides precision rifle training with classroom lessons and live shooting practice.
Whether you're a hunter looking to stretch your ethical range, a beginner getting your feet wet in precision shooting, or a competitor brushing up on fundamentals, Fossil Pointe delivers a clean, professional environment that caters to every shooter level.
